Create Dockerfile for contributing

[Alex-Cannon]

Close #9105

To Do

• Create functional Dockerfile for contributing
• Add documentation for dockerfile *Should be reviewed
• Update CHANGELOG.md in the root of the project if you have not done so.
• Run prettier over CONTRIBUTING.md
• Fix change log to say Chore && Maintainance
• Verified yarn runs correctly
• yarn test does NOT run correctly. Troubleshooting...

Summary

This PR adds a Dockerfile that contributors can use. This allows people to get Jest up and running without manual installation. See #9105 for more details.

I am by no means a Docker or Jest expert. I'm sure there are improvements to this file that can be made. Feel free to let me know any changes that are requested! 👍

Test plan

Simply run the following commands to test this (Tested on Ubuntu 18.04):

Build Jest

docker build -t jest .

Run Jest

• You may need to replace $PWD with the path to your Jest clone.

docker run --volume="$PWD:/usr/src/app" --rm jest:latest

Expected Results

1. Jest builds successfully
2. Jest runs successfully (in watch mode)
3. When you modify && save a .ts file in /packages, it should automatically re-compile.

[SimenB]

thanks for starting this! can you add a .dockerignore as well that ignores node_modules?

[SimenB]

we should install all packages we need for tests to pass. Can you verify yarn && yarn test passes with this image?

[Alex-Cannon]

@SimenB thanks for the feedback. I'll work on these changes. I'll keep a log of my work on my top comment.

[Alex-Cannon]

@SimenB looks like all the tests are green. However, I ran yarn and got this error:
Investigating now.

Error: cannot find module '@babel/plugins-transform-modules-commonjs'...

Update: The error went away when I changed my volume mount from this:

1. --volume="$PWD:/usr/src/app"
2. To this: --volume="$PWD/packages:/usr/src/app/packages"

@SimenB I looked over scripts/watch.js and it appears that Jest only watches /packages? If this is the case, my solution will work, otherwise I'll have to troubleshoot more.

yarn

I ran yarn in the Jest container. It completed and there were no errors.

yarn test

I ran yarn test in the Jest container. There were several errors.

Inline snapshot errors

There were inline snapshot errors across the app. It looked like inline snapshots were broken. This may have been because I ran the command like so:

1. Started a Jest container with yarn watch
2. I opened a new CMD and ran yarn test in the Jest container

There also might be a missing package that is required? See the Dockerfile for more info. Below are two error logs for these errors:

Additional Errors

I'm not sure what these errors mean or how to fix them. A possibility is that I didn't install the correct packages for Jest? For example, mercurial, etc.

[SimenB]

I'm not sure if mounting the volume stuff will work properly at all since we need e.g. nested node_modules that differ between architectures... Will need to think that through a bit

Not sure about the snapshot failure, possibly related to the mounted volume thing?

The mercurial errors are expected (for now), see #8653.

[Alex-Cannon]

@SimenB got it. So mercurial errors are expected, but not the snapshot errors. I have an idea of what might be going wrong with the snapshots. Troubleshooting now...

[SimenB]

@Alex-Cannon hey! are you still interested in working on this? 🙂
