File/Folder | Description |
---|---|
node_modules/ | Any Node modules packaged with the app |
package.json | npm package descriptor |
.openshift/ | Openshift specific files |
.openshift/action_hooks/pre_build | Script that gets run every git push before the build |
.openshift/action_hooks/build | Script that gets run every git push as part of the build process (on the CI system if available) |
.openshift/action_hooks/deploy | Script that gets run every git push after build but before the app is restarted |
.openshift/action_hooks/post_deploy | Script that gets run every git push after the app is restarted |
Please leave the node_modules
and .openshift
directories but feel free to
create additional directories if needed.
Note: Every time you push, everything in your remote repo dir gets recreated.
Please store long term items (like an sqlite database) in the OpenShift data directory, which will persist between pushes of your repo.
The OpenShift data directory is accessible relative to the remote repo directory (../data) or via an environment variable OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR
.
OpenShift provides several environment variables to reference for ease of use. The following list are some common variables but far from exhaustive:
process.env.OPENSHIFT_GEAR_NAME - Application name
process.env.OPENSHIFT_GEAR_DIR - Application dir
process.env.OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR - For persistent storage (between pushes)
process.env.OPENSHIFT_TMP_DIR - Temp storage (unmodified files deleted after 10 days)
When embedding a database using 'rhc app cartridge add', you can reference environment variables for username, host and password:
process.env.OPENSHIFT_DB_HOST - DB Host
process.env.OPENSHIFT_DB_PORT - DB Port
process.env.OPENSHIFT_DB_USERNAME - DB Username
process.env.OPENSHIFT_DB_PASSWORD - DB Password
When embedding a NoSQL database using 'rhc app cartridge add', you can reference environment variables for username, host and password:
process.env.OPENSHIFT_NOSQL_DB_HOST - NoSQL DB Host
process.env.OPENSHIFT_NOSQL_DB_PORT - NoSQL DB Port
process.env.OPENSHIFT_NOSQL_DB_USERNAME - NoSQL DB Username
process.env.OPENSHIFT_NOSQL_DB_PASSWORD - NoSQL DB Password
To get a full list of environment variables, simply add a line in your
.openshift/action_hooks/build
script that says "export" and push.

First install Jasmine:
$ npm install jasmine-node -g
Then you can run the test suite with:
$ jasmine-node . --autotest --watch spec
Or with RequireJS:
$ jasmine-node --runWithRequireJs --requireJsSetup spec/requirejs-setup.js spec
If you want Jasmine to automatically rerun the whole test suite when a file changes, use:
$ jasmine-node . --verbose --runWithRequireJs --requireJsSetup spec/requirejs-setup.js --autotest --watch spec
