This repository contains the application that should be used as deployable workload in the exercise implementation.

For more information regarding the app, please have a look into its README.

The Makefile is the main entry point for this repository. It's meant to be used for documentation purposes and local development/invocation only. The following commands are available:

NOTE:

The Makefile is solely meant to showcase how to interact with the application and the code base, it is not recommended to invoke make targets from the CI/CD, but rather use automation-specific interfaces (e.g. Jenkinsfile, .travis.yml, etc.), which would then invoke logic also shown under some make target.

• install technology stack (Nodejs, npm, MongoDB) as prebuild binaries locally within the project
• in order for the application-related targets to pick up these binaries, the PATH variable is adjusted and exported for the corresponding target

• install npm dependencies for server and client

• start a local mongo database

• start a local mongo database

NOTE: it might be desired to start a database first (e.g. make run-db)

• build client
• start server with development configuration

NOTE: requires MongoDB to be running (e.g. make run-db)

• run client tests in CI mode (exits regardless of the test outcome; closed tty)
• run server tests in CI mode (exits regardless of the test outcome; closed tty)

• run client tests

• build client

• removes all dependencies that were installed locally
  • node, npm, mongo
  • npm modules for server and client

• start a MongoDB process with an explicit inline-configuration
• start the application process with variables being set only visible to that invocation (as an alternative to the environment configuration file app/server/dev.env)
• block terminal to keep it as the output medium. To stop again, send a termination signal via Ctrl+C
