Developer guide

Prerequisites:

1. sbt 0.13.6
2. nodejs 0.10.13 or newer (make sure node and npm are available on PATH)

Quick Start

1. Configure local.conf in the codebrag home directory basing on codebrag-rest/src/main/resources/application.conf.template
2. Checkout a SVN/Git repository to chosen repos-root folder - Codebrag won't do that for you!
3. Navigate to the codebrag home directory
4. Execute ./run.sh script
5. Default browser should open at localhost:9090

Working with the application:

1. Go to project dir
2. Configure local.conf in the codebrag home directory basing on codebrag-rest/src/main/resources/application.conf.template
3. Start sbt with sbt
4. Open project in your favorite IDE
5. Run backend server on jetty with ~ container:start. Project will be recompiled & redeployed every time Scala sources will be changed.
6. Go to codebrag-ui project. If this is your first attempt, run npm install. This will install all the dependencies required to start UI Codebrag application. Then run ./node_modules/.bin/grunt server. If you have grunt installed globally you can use grunt server instead.

Default browser should open at http://localhost:9090

For more information about UI application build please consult README in codebrag-ui project

Run Codebrag with stubbed backend

You may want to run Codebrag without backend services e.g. to work on frontend side (HTML, CSS). Follow the instructions in codebrag-ui project README to install all required stuff. When Codebrag is run, appending ?nobackend to any URL lets you work with stubbed data - with no backend required.

Skipping slow tests

If you want to execute tests from sbt and skip slow cases requiring database, you can execute following command: test-only * -- -l requiresDb

Logging

For logging we use SLF4J+Logback. An example configration file can be found in scripts/logback-example.xml. To use a configuration file, either place a logback.xml file in the bundle, or specify an external one using -Dlogback.configurationFile.

Create distribution

1. Start sbt, change subproject: project codebrag-dist
2. Run: assembly
3. This will create a fat-jar. To start Codebrag with the given configuration, run:

java -Dconfig.file=[path to .conf file] -Dlogback.configurationFile=logback.xml -jar codebrag-dist-assembly-[version].jar

H2 console

When using the embedded SQL storage, it may be useful to browse the tables. H2 provides consoles, which can be run as follows:

1. For a web console, run from sbt: codebrag-dao/runH2Console
2. For a command line console, run java -Dconfig.file=codebrag.conf -cp [path to the fat JAR] com.softwaremill.codebrag.dao.sql.H2ShellConsole
