Integration test PSC
This directory contains artifacts related to the PSC instance that psc.rb deploys to run its integration tests. Highlights below.
bin/
The integrated test infrastructure looks in this directory for a file
named psc.war to deploy. If you don't want to provide your own, you
can download the latest nightly by running rake int-psc:war.
This means you can run the integration tests against different
versions of PSC by swapping out psc.war.
hsqldb/
The PSC instance is backed by HSQLDB. There are rake tasks to assist
in bootstrapping this database instance (which is mostly done via PSC
itself) in tasks/int-psc.rake. Process overview:
- Create a "baseline" configuration
- Deploy PSC against this configuration. PSC automatically creates its schema and lookup data.
- Interactively (i.e., this part is not scripted) walk through PSC's setup flow. Create a user named "superuser/superuser" that has all privileges.
- Shut down the "baseline" PSC. The HSQLDB database named "baseline" now contains the minimum set of data needed to deploy PSC and use its API.
- Copy the "baseline" database to a database named "datasource".
- Deploy PSC using the "datasource" database.
- Use PSC's dev demo-creator infrastructure to apply a consistent set
of data (defined in
int-psc/state) to this instance. - Shut down the "datasource" instance of PSC.
- Mark the "datasource" database as read-only.
("baseline" and "datasource" are separate so that re-applying the state data can be entirely scripted; baseline will (hopefully) never need to be recreated.)
After this process is finished, each time you start up the integration PSC instance it will be in the same state -- i.e., it will not persist any data across restarts.
state/
The desired contents of the integration test PSC instance on
startup. The key file is int-psc-state.xml, which is full of
comments describing its format.
Whenever you change the data this directory, you should run rake
int-psc:rebuild and then commit the changed versions of
hsqldb/datasource.* along with your data changes.
