PortalModule

PortalModule is a tool to allow maintenance and configuration of AMS Portal environments through the command line or Rake tasks.

Because it is scriptable, it can be used to create efficient and repeatable migrations resulting in low risk deployments.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'portal_module'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install portal_module

Usage

Command Line Help

Thor's usage help is messed up related to subcommands (ie. subcommand help is sometimes listed without the subcommand's parent). For this reason, the 'help' is listed here.

Tasks

PortalModule provides tasks you can use in your rake file.

DTS Tasks

Add require 'portal_module/rake/dts_tasks' to your rake file and portal_module will add a set of dts tasks for each configured environment. All tasks are prefixed with am:ENV_NAME:.

Task options are displayed within brackets like so: am:dev:dts:upload[org,filepath]. If the option contains spaces, surround the option, or the entire task name with single or double quotes:

rake am:dev:dts:upload['Some Org Name','file/path with/spaces/file.xml']

# or

rake 'am:dev:dts:upload[Some Org Name,file/path with/spaces/file.xml]'

Tasks include:

• dts:upload uploads a DTS configuration file
• dts:download downloads a DTS configuration file

Loan Entry Tasks

Add require 'portal_module/rake/loan_entry_tasks' to your rake file and portal_module will add a set of loan_entry tasks for each configured environment. All tasks are prefixed with am:ENV_NAME:.

Task options are displayed within brackets like so: am:dev:loan_entry:upload[org,filepath]. If the option contains spaces, surround the option, or the entire task name with single or double quotes:

rake am:dev:loan_entry:upload['Some Org Name','file/path with/spaces/file.xml']

# or

rake 'am:dev:loan_entry:upload[Some Org Name,file/path with/spaces/file.xml]'

Tasks include:

• loan_entry:upload uploads a Loan Entry configuration file
• loan_entry:download downloads a Loan Entry configuration file

Scripting

You can use the Client for scripting.

Contributing

1. Fork it
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Create your tests (you do have tests, don't you?)
4. Write your code
5. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
6. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
7. Create new Pull Request

ToDo

• document CLI

Process Flow (CLI)

• Command entered in console
• lib/portal_module/cli.rb processes args
• cli.rb hands command off to lib/portal_module/command/dts.rb
• dts.rb validates command and hands off to lib/portal_module/dts.rb
• dts.rb processes command and uses lib/portal_module/page_factory.rb to get instance of web page objects needed to fulfill command request
• dts.rb completes command

Process Flow (Rake Task)

• Rake imports/requires lib/portal_module/rake/dts_task.rb
• Rake task requires API object lib/portal_module/dts.rb
• API object processes task request, gets needed page objects from page_factory.rb
• API object completes task request, returns control to task

Testing

All tests can be run with

bundle exec rspec spec/

There's an included Guardfile that can be started with

bundle exec guard

Creating a Command Spec

Create a new spec file spec/lib/portal_module/command/dts_spec.rb.

Create a new Command object lib/portal_module/command/dts.rb.

Edit lib/portal_module/cli.rb creating new base command pointing to new object (PortalModule::Command::Dts in this case).

Create lib/portal_module/dts.rb which is an object that provides an API interface to the actual DTS (DataTransformationPage) page object.

• The DataTransformationPage page object only contains functionality that the actual webpage contains, ie. Activate, Save, Loan Org Unit
• The Dts API object contains functionality that manipulates the webpage object to provide results. Maybe this means it uses the page object to lookup the available org units, or throw an error if a org doesn't exist.
• The API object also hides the fact that the app may need to go to a multiple pages to accomplish the request.
