For phase one of the CredSperiment, I need a SourceCred instance which combines GitHub and Discourse servers. I'll also need to be able to give it very specific configuration to collapse certain user identities together.
Shortly after launching the CredSperiment, I plan to come back and totally re-write SourceCred's command line interface and site building system, in a way that will throw away most of the existing codebase.
As such, I found it expedient to add rather hacky and untested support for loading combined GitHub/Discourse instances, so I can land the promised features. This PR does so by:
- adding sourcecred gen-project for constructing project.json files
- adding sourcecred load --project for loading a project.json file
- ensuring that load provides the right plugins based on the project that's in scope
- updating build_static_site so that it can use the new --project flag
Test plan:
I have done some end-to-end testing, but the overall commit stack lacks automated testing. This is a deliberate tradeoff: I'm planning to re-write this section of the codebase, and the testing ergonomics are not great, so I'd rather accept some technical debt, especially since I plan to pay it off soon.
See the pull request on GitHub for the individual constituent commits.
This commit swaps usage over to the new implementation of `cli/load`
(the one that wraps `api/load`) and makes changes throughout the project
to accomodate that we now track instances by Project rather than by
RepoId.
Test plan: Unit tests updated; run `yarn test --full`. Also, for safety:
actually load a project (by whole org, why not) and verify that the
frontend still works.
Includes a change to `cli/load` and `build_static_site.sh` to accept a `--weights WEIGHTS_FILE` argument.
This allows overriding the default weights at build-time using a `weights.json` that has the same format as previously generated in the frontend.
Test plan:
Adds an additional test-case as well for propagating the optional parameter.
The file I/O of loading and parsing a weights.json file was tested manually. As analysis/weights' fromJSON() is tested elsewhere as is passing weight parameters.
This resolves an issue where build_static_site.sh fails if the
$SOURCECRED_DIRECTORY is not set.
I tried to add a test for this, but was unsuccessful; see discussion in
[a575638].
Test plan: I manually verified that running build_static_site.sh with an
unset SOURCECRED_DIRECTORY fails before this commit, and passes
afterwards.
[a575638]: a575638fa4
This modifies `scripts/build_static_site.sh` so that it uses the cache
available in `$SOURCECRED_DIRECTORY/cache`. This makes the script less
hermetic, but also enormously faster for regular usage.
We use a symbolic link for efficiency, and so that the user's main cache
is updated by the data loaded by build_static_site.
Test plan: I've manually verified that running build_static_site.sh is
now fast, when building repos which are already locally present in
cache. Existing tests pass. The user's cache is not removed.
We added a configurable cred feedback url on the theory that we would
create a separate discourse post to collect feedback for each project in
particular.
We've now realized that no one is using this, so it's just vestigial
complexity now. So I'm removing the logic for configuring the feedback
url on a per-project basis.
Instead, we will always link to a Google form for collecting feedback.
Test plan: `yarn test --full` passes, and I manually checked the links.
Summary:
We want to remove the repository selector dropdown on the cred explorer
homepage and instead render a separate web page for each project. To do
this, we need to know which pages to render statically. We choose to
ingest this information from the state of the repository registry at
build time.
This commit adds an environment variable `REPO_REGISTRY` whose contents
are the stringified version of the repository registry, or `null` if
SourceCred has been built for the backend. This variable is defined with
Webpack’s `DefinePlugin`, so any code bundled by Webpack can refer to it
via `process.env.REPO_REGISTRY` both on the server and in the browser.
Paired with @wchargin.
Test Plan:
Sharness tests modified; running `yarn test --full` suffices.
Summary:
Lots of tests need the output of `yarn backend`. Before this commit,
they tended to create it themselves. This was slow and wasteful, and
also could in principle have race conditions (though in practice usually
tended not to).
This commit updates tests to respect a `SOURCECRED_BIN` environment
variable indicating the path to an existing directory of backend
applications.
Closes#765.
Test Plan:
Running `yarn test --full` passes.
Prepending `echo run >>/tmp/log &&` to the `backend` script in
`package.json` and running `yarn test --full` results in a log file
containing only one line, indicating that the script really is run only
once.

Summary:
This improves the documentation for the change made in #715.
Test Plan:
Note that `./scripts/build_static_site.sh --help` and `yarn sharness`
pass.
wchargin-branch: feedback-url-help-text
Summary:
We can now set, at build time, a URL to be displayed at the top of the
prototype, encouraging users to provide feedback. If the URL is not
provided, it defaults to the appropriate topic on the SourceCred
Discourse instance.
The result looks like this:

Test Plan:
Unit tests added to `yarn sharness-full` and `yarn unit`.
You can run `yarn start` to see the message with the default URL, or
`SOURCECRED_FEEDBACK_URL=http://example.com/ yarn start` to specify a
custom URL.
wchargin-branch: feedback-url
Summary:
The current version of the build script has the safe but annoying
property that the target directory must be an existing, empty directory.
It seems reasonable and convenient to allow the build script to create
the directory with `mkdir -p`. It still fails if the directory is not
empty or is a file.
Test Plan:
Unit tests updated; run `yarn sharness-full`.
wchargin-branch: build-mkdir-p
Summary:
The `node ./bin/sourcecred.js load` command invokes plugin code by
providing an output directory into which the plugin may store data.
As of this patch, it also provides a cache directory that the plugin may
use to store data that will not be available at runtime. For instance,
the Git plugin might choose to clone the repository herein, or the
GitHub plugin may choose to store partial GraphQL query results to deal
with interruptions. The contract is that the cache directory may be
removed at any time and that the plugin should continue to operate
normally.
Test Plan:
The build script has been updated and tested. Reverting the change to
the build script causes the newly added test to fail. (Each plugin has a
cache directory, though the cache directories are empty for now.)
wchargin-branch: create-plugin-cache
Summary:
Currently, we create the static site and deploy it all at once in
`scripts/deploy.sh`. This commit creates a new script that only builds
the static site. This has the advantage that it is easier/less scary to
change that script (because it can be tested without worrying about
deploying to a local test target), and that we can write automated tests
for it.
Test Plan:
Run `yarn sharness`; note that it completes very quickly. Then, in a
shell with your GitHub token exported, run `yarn sharness-full`. Expect
all tests to pass.
For a sanity check, you can run:
```shell
outdir="$(mktemp -d --suffix .sourcecred-site)"
./scripts/build_static_site.sh --target "${outdir}" \
--cname sourcecred.io \
--repo sourcecred/example-git \
--repo sourcecred/example-github \
;
(cd "${outdir}" && python -m SimpleHTTPServer)
```
and ensure that <http://localhost:8000/> is as expected.
One test case that is not covered is the following: _if_ the actual app
somehow tries to emit a `CNAME` file at root, _and_ our script’s logic
to catch this is broken, then we will not catch this failure. I’ve
tested the logic manually by adding `>"${cname_file}"` after definition
of that variable, but I don’t see a good way to test it automatically,
without adding flags like `--but-actually-emit-cname-too` to the build.
The compound probability of this happening is sufficiently low that this
doesn’t bother me.
