Support application
Internal application used to administer specific support tasks related to the Topcoder platform.
- node.js v6+
- npm v3+
- Google Chrome browser version >= 55.0.2883.0
To install npm dependencies run:
npm install
The configuration is provided in config.json in the base directory.
It contains four environments (local, dev, qa, prod) which are controlled by the BUILD_ENV environment variable,
it defaults to the dev environment if BUILD_ENV is empty.
The following configuration parameters are available:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| API_URL | URL of the topcoder API |
| ADMIN_TOOL_URL | URL of the admin tool API |
| API_VERSION_PATH | Version of the API |
| COOKIES_SECURE | If true the cookies set by this App will only be transmitted over secure protocols like https. |
| AUTH_URL | Url of Topcoder auth form |
| ACCOUNTS_CONNECTOR_URL | Url to TC account connector |
| JWT_V3_NAME | jwt V3 cookie name |
| JWT_V2_NAME | jwt V2 cookie name |
As application uses Topcoder authorization we have to run it on the one of allowed domains. For development purposes we can use local.topcoder-dev.com:3000. So before run we have to add into hosts file the line 127.0.0.1 local.topcoder-dev.com. Be aware, that we also have to run on the port 3000 to be able to authorize when run locally.
Simply execute the following command to start the app in development mode (with browsersync)
npm install
gulp build
gulp serve
Application will be hosted and running at http://local.topcoder-dev.com:3000.
Before executing the end-to-end (e2e) protractor tests, these environment variables should be set:
| Name | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
| BUILD_ENV | Deployment configuration to be tested by e2e tests. | See Configuration for possible values. Defaults to dev. |
| TEST_PORT | Port from which to serve the app for e2e tests. | Defaults to 3000. |
npm test
