A temporary fork of StackViz while the conversion to Angular is in progress. Changes here will be merged back into the main StackViz repository when things have stabilized.

Installation of the frontend requires Node.js and Gulp. On Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install nodejs npm nodejs-legacy
sudo npm install -g gulp

Then, install the Node modules by running, from the project directory:

npm install

A development server can be run as follows:

gulp dev

This will open a web browser and reload code automatically as it changes on the filesystem.

The production application can be build using:

gulp prod

The result will be written to ./build and should be appropriate for distribution. Note that all files are not required:

• Directory structure (js/, css/, fonts/, images/): required.
• Static resources (fonts/, images/): required.
• Core files (index.html, js/main.js, css/main.css): required unless gzipped versions are used.
• Gzipped versions of core files (*.gz): not required, but preferred. Use instead of plain core files to save on disk usage and bandwidth.
• Source maps (js/main.js.map, js/main.js.map.gz): only required for debugging purposes.

• Project split: All server-side components will be removed, and replaced with specialized data transformation tools.
  • Data sources and processing: moving to external project, potentially integrated directly with Testr and subunit2sql.
  • Web interface:
    • Will remain in this namespace (openstack-qa/stackviz).
    • Will decouple data processing from build process, allowing for distribution to nodes as a prebuilt static site.
    • Data sources will be configured in in a config.json.
    • Will support local and remote sources via REST/JSONP (pending API spec).
• Angular conversion: current codebase will be rewritten to use Angular.
• Python dependency removal: all Python depedencies and build requirements will be removed from this project.
