Supermarket

unit lint ctl-cookbook-testing Inline docs

Supermarket is Chef's community repository for cookbooks, currently hosted at supermarket.chef.io. Supermarket can also run internally, behind-the-firewall.

Umbrella Project: Supermarket

The code is designed to be easy for others to contribute. The goal of the README file is to familiarize you with the project. You can find detailed information about Supermarket at Wiki page.

If you want to contribute to Supermarket, read the contributor's workflow for license information and other helpful tips that aid you in getting started. There are project artifacts such as planning docs, wireframes, recorded demos, and team retrospectives at public Google Drive folder.

If you have questions, feature ideas, or other suggestions, please open a GitHub Issue.

This repository has the code for the Supermarket application and the omnibus definition used to build the deb/rpm packages. Other Supermarket related repositories are:

Development

Configuration

Configure the dotenv keys and secrets. See .env.example for required keys and secrets. docs/CONFIGURING.md page details the not-so-straightforward configuration information required to setup Supermarket working locally.

Local Environment

These instructions are tested and verified on macOS Catalina (10.15).

Dependency Services

As Docker Containers
  1. Install docker

    brew cask install docker

Ensure you have a PostgreSQL version installed on the local filesystem for development libraries to be available for building the pg gem. See the instructions for locally running PostgreSQL below, however omit the steps where the service is running.

  1. Start the docker containers.

    cd src/supermarket
    docker-compose up
As Locally Running Processes
  1. Install Postgres by following any of the below instructions:

    • Install the Postgres App:

      This is probably the simplest way to get Postgres running on your mac. You can then start a Postgres server through the GUI of the app. If you go this route, then you'll have to add /Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin/ or the equivalent path to obtain the pg gem to build.

    • Through Homebrew:

      brew install postgresql

    When installed through homebrew, Postgres often requires additional configuration, see this blog post for instructions. Ensure to start the Postgresql server by following the command given below.

    pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log start
  2. Install Redis. You can install it with Homebrew. Follow the instructions in the install output to start the redis server.

    brew install redis

    Run the redis server using command:

    redis-server --daemonize yes

Development Environment

  1. Ensure you have Xcode installed.

  2. Install a Ruby manager. If you don't already have one, you will need a Ruby manager to install the appropriate Ruby release, such as:

    • RVM
    • Rbenv
    • chruby
    • or any other Ruby version manager that may come along.
  3. Use your ruby manager to install the necessary Ruby release. For instructions on this, please see the manager's documentation.

  4. Ensure you have the Supermarket repo cloned to your machine. If not, clone it.

  5. Navigate to that directory.

    cd <supermarket-repo>
  6. Again, navigate to the src folder.

    cd src/supermarket
  7. Install Bundler gem.

    gem install bundler:2.1.4 --user-install
  8. Install required gems:

    bundle install

    Note: You might encounter the following errors. The possible fixes are also provided here.

  9. Create the database, migrate to it, and then seed the database:

    bundle exec rails db:setup
  10. Add required Postgres extensions.

    psql supermarket_development -c 'create extension plpgsql'
    psql supermarket_development -c 'create extension pg_trgm'

    Note: Ignore if the above 2 commands displays the following error: extension already exists.

  11. Start the server:

    bundle exec foreman start

    Note: If you receive errors, ensure that redis and Postgres are running.

Setting up Auth

Supermarket uses oc-id running on a Chef Infra Server to authenticate users to Supermarket.

IF YOU ARE AN INTERNAL CHEF STAFFER - We will be performing some settings prior to set you up with oc-id. Consult the internal wiki on setting up your Supermarket dev environment (or ask a friendly team member!).

Note: Authentication currently requires a live Chef Infra Server running oc-id. We are working on a solution that would allow a developer to run the authentication locally. Stay tuned.

Create a new application and register it on oc-id (I called my application Application:Supermarket Development). Set the callback URL to http://localhost:3000/auth/chef_oauth2/callback or whatever localhost domain you use.

In your local copy of the Supermarket repo, copy the .env file to .env.development. Open up .env.development and replace these values:

CHEF_OAUTH2_APP_ID=YOUR_CHEF_OAUTH2_APP_ID
CHEF_OAUTH2_SECRET=YOUR_CHEF_OAUTH2_SECRET

with these values:

CHEF_OAUTH2_APP_ID=[Application ID of the oc-id application you just registered]
CHEF_OAUTH2_SECRET=[Secret of the oc-id application you just registered]

Restart your foreman server.

Now, when you click Sign In, you will be taken to your supermarket account with your Chef account!

Note: If you receive an omniauth csrf detected error, try clearing your browser's cache.

SPDX license linking for cookbooks

If a cookbook that has licenseId, which is also mentioned in SPDX license listed at https://github.com/spdx/license-list-data/blob/master/json/licenses.json, you need to update with respective license URL.

When a new cookbook is uploaded, license url information is fetched from the above link and is updated.

For an existing implementation of supermarket, there is a provision running with some ctl commands, for updating the information for cookbooks already there in system.

Following commands are available to update the license URLs for cookbooks:

Update licenses URLs for all the cookbooks in the system

spdx-all

Update for a single cookbook

spdx-latest <cookbook_name>

Update for a particular version of a cookbook

spdx-on-version <cookbook_name> <cookbook_version>

Tests

Requirements for tests: PhantomJS 1.8, Node.

Run the entire test suite (rspec, rubocop and mocha) with:

bundle exec rake spec:all

Acceptance Tests

Acceptance tests are run with Capybara. Run rake spec:features to run the specs in spec/features. The default rake spec also runs these.

When writing feature specs, the Rack::Test driver is used by default. If the Poltergeist driver is required to be used (for example, an acceptance test that uses AJAX), add the use_poltergeist: true metadata to the spec.

Some specs run using PhantomJS, which must be installed for the test suite to pass.

JavaScript Tests

The JavaScript specs are run with Karma and use the Mocha test framework and the Chai Assertion Library.

The specs live in spec/javascripts. Run rake spec:javascripts to run the specs, and rake spec:javascripts:watch to run them continuously and watch for changes.

Node.js is required to run the JavaScript tests.

Background Jobs

Read about Supermarket's background jobs in the wiki.

Feature Flags

Supermarket uses a .env file to configure itself. Inside this file are key/value pairs. These key/value pairs will be exported as environment variables when the app runs, and Supermarket looks for these keys as environment variables when it needs to read a value that's configurable.

One of these keys is called FEATURES and it controls a number of features that can be turned on and off. Here are the available features that can be toggled:

  • tools
  • fieri
  • announcement
  • github
  • no_crawl
