End-of-lifed October 2nd, 2015

This project is no longer being maintained. It is end-of-lifed. I will be doing no more work on it.

Why? Because so many things have changed in the last couple of years that it makes sense to ditch this and start over. Bugzilla API and auth have changed. There's no good reason to pass Bugzilla requests through the server--the client should do them directly. I stopped using Flask and Angular for projects. Etc.

I used Ernest for 2 years, though. Got a lot of mileage out of it.

/will

I'm always frank and earnest with bugs. Uh, in GitHub I'm Frank, and Bugzilla I'm Ernest.

Ernest is a Bugzilla dashboard.

This is pretty hard-coded for SUMO as we fiddle with it and get it to our liking. Then maybe I'll work on generalizing it. If you're interested in working on it, that's totally cool---just let us know.

1. Create a virtual environment.
2. pip install -r requirements.txt
3. (optional) npm install if you want to run the JS tests.
4. cp ernest/settings_local.py-dist ernest/settings_local.py

5. Edit ernest/settings_local.py.

   You can see which settings are editable/overrideable in ernest/settings.py.

   Note: You MUST provide a SECRET_KEY either in settings_local.py or in the environment. No secret key--no soup!

6. Create the database and give it the alembic stamp:

   $ python manage.py db_create

   This creates the database based on the settings in ernest/settings_local.py.

To create a project:

$ python manage.py create_project <projectname>

To create a sprint for that project:

$ python manage.py create_sprint <projectname> <sprintname>

Run:

$ python manage.py runserver

Run the python tests with:

$ nosetests

Run the clientside tests with:

$ karma start karma.conf.js --single-run

To generate the tables for your db, do:

$ python manage.py db_create

Note: If you run this command twice, it shouldn't wipe your data.

To update your db by applying all unapplied migrations, do:

$ alembic upgrade head

To create a new migration make the model changes you need to make and then, do:

$ alembic revision -m "some message" --autogenerate

See: https://alembic.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorial.html#auto-generating-migrations

You can see the current migration with:

$ alembic current

Create the app:

# Log in if you haven't already
$ heroku login

# Use the buchner buildpack
$ heroku create --stack cedar --buildpack \
    git://github.com/rehandalal/heroku-buildpack-python.git

# Push the repository
$ git push heroku master

More details on Buchner build pack here.

Create the db:

$ heroku config | grep POSTGRESQL

# Heroku creates a color db and tells you the variable.
$ heroku pg:promote <COLOR VAR FROM PREVIOUS OUTPUT>

# Create db
$ heroku run "python manage.py db_create"

More details on Postgres on Heroku here.

Create a dyno and make sure it's working:

# Create a dyno
$ heroku ps:scale web=1

# Make sure it's working
$ heroku ps

# Open in your browser
$ heroku open
