Add a Globus button to make transfers easier

[DavidKelly-Praedictus]

Preliminary integration between Open OnDemand and Globus Transfer. When an OOD admin defines 'globus_endpoints' in their config, a Globus button will appear in the user interface. When clicked, this button will open a link to the Globus transfer web app using the correct transfer endpoint and directory info.

I will be submitting the documentation shortly, but briefly the easiest way to configure this is to add a globus_endpoints parameter to ondemand.d that looks like this:

For a single Globus endpoint

  globus_endpoints:
    "/": "716de4ac-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"

For multiple endpoints at different locations

  globus_endpoints:
    "/home": "716de4ac-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
    "/project": "8c33758b-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"

The e2e tests a broken for a bit while we work on new packaging in 3.1.

That said - unit tests seem to be failing because there are not updates to apps/dashboard/config/configuration_singleton.rb.

Made the changes related to situations where endpoint paths do not match filesystem paths. The updated globus_endpoints parameter should now look something like this:

globus_endpoints:

  - path: "/home"
    endpoint: "716de4ac-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
    endpoint_path: "/home"

  - path: "/project"
    endpoint: "9f1fe759-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
    endpoint_path: "/"

I removed the css I added and used a link instead of a button. The only other change I had make was to set the title/tooltips on a span around the link so that it would still appear when the link was disabled.

Thank you for the update (and the documentation!). I'll take a look at this shortly.

Sorry for the delay - there are more coming as this week (and last 2) I've been buried with OSC work. Then next week I'm on vacation

Made the changes related to situations where endpoint paths do not match filesystem paths.

I still don't believe this is correct, at least for your HOME directories.

I got this configuration to work for me (my user johrstrom), but that would only work for me. OSC could not deploy this configuration globally because path is my own $HOME directory so it would not match others.

globus_endpoints:
  - path: "/users/PZS0714/johrstrom"
    endpoint: "06758ab7-9cb0-4f90-b79f-098b41e90dcd"
    endpoint_path: "/"

If I use this, the globus url has origin_path=/PZS0714/johrstrom which is incorrect.

globus_endpoints:
  - path: "/users"
    endpoint: "06758ab7-9cb0-4f90-b79f-098b41e90dcd"
    endpoint_path: "/"

I still need to look into Project or Scratch filesystems (outside of HOME), but I suspsect we need to treat HOME directories as a special case.

Hi Jeff,

For that type of setup, I think you can do something like this:

globus_endpoints:
  - path: "/users/PZS0714/<%= CurrentUser.name %>"
    endpoint: "06758ab7-9cb0-4f90-b79f-098b41e90dcd"
    endpoint_path: "/"

[DavidKelly-Praedictus]

Or, alternatively:

globus_endpoints:
  - path: "<%= CurrentUser.home %>"
    endpoint: "06758ab7-9cb0-4f90-b79f-098b41e90dcd"
    endpoint_path: "/"

Yea I thought the same after I left that comment. Would like to avoid ERB if we can (most folks just don't know it), but that seems like our best bet at the moment.

[DavidKelly-Praedictus]

I added an example of how to use this in the docs (OSC/ood-documentation#819)

[johrstrom]

Thanks and sorry for the delay. You may see another PR from me to fix this up just slightly and another issue to refactor that inline javascript. It's fine for now, we don't need to get to it immediately, but we would like to stop inlining javascipt in <script> tags.

[johrstrom]

I see your reactions here, so I'll add another note here or we can open another ticket. One thing that I'm still not super keen on is having to use ERB for the HOME directory. I think I'll open a ticket to explore what other possibilities there could be to make configuration simpler.
