Chrome Platform Status

chromestatus.com

Get the code

git clone --recursive https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chromium-dashboard

Installation

First, install the Google App Engine SDK for Python.

You'll also need pip, node, npm, and gulp:

npm install -g bower gulp
npm install

This will also pull down bower_components and run gulp to build the site.

Developing

To start the main server and the notifier backend, run:

./scripts/start_server.sh

FCM setup

If you want to test push notification features, you'll need to create a file named .fcm_server_key in the main project root. Copy in the FCM server key obtained from the Firebase console.

When ./scripts/start_server.sh is run, it will populate this value as an environment variable.

Notes

• Locally, the /feature list pulls from prod (https://www.chromestatus.com/features.json). Opening one of the features will 404 because the entry is not actually in the local db. If you want to test local entries, modify templates/features.html to pull locally and add some db entries by signing in to the app (bottom link). Make sure to check the "sign in as admin" box when doing so. Note that you can also simply go to http://127.0.0.1:8080/ instead of localhost to pull locally.

Seed the blink component owners

Visit http://localhost:8080/admin/blink/populate_blink to see the list of Blink component owners.

Debugging / settings

settings.py contains a list of globals for debugging and running the site locally.

VULCANIZE - False, will run the site without vulcanizing the Polymer elements.

SEND_EMAIL - False will turn off email notifications to feature owners.

SEND_PUSH_NOTIFICATIONS - False will turn off sending push notifications for all users.

Deploying

Note you need to have admin privileges on the cr-status cloud project to be able to deploy the site.

First, update the version field in app.yaml. That will ensure the app deploys to a versioned URL and helps for rolling back later. Then, run the helper script:

./scripts/deploy_site.sh

This will build the site and deploy it to GAE.

Lastly, open the Google Developer Console and flip to the new version.
