How to contribute
Before contributing, read the guidelines
Build and Test
Build
You can build entire project using maven.
mvn clean package
This will build frontend and backend and create two artifacts : backend/target/ui-designer-1.13.0-SNAPSHOT.war backend/target/ui-designer-1.13.0-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar
Test
while running mvn clean package only unit tests are run. If you want to run the integration tests, run the following command
mvn clean install -Pintegration-test
Also frontend e2e test could be launched via
mvn clean install -Pe2e
Run
To run build standalone jar, just launch it as a standard jar :
java -jar backend/target/ui-designer-1.13.0-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar [-Dworkspace=/path/to/workspace] [-Drepository.widgets=/path/widgets/repository] [-Drepository.pages=/path/pages/repository][-Dbonita.data.repository.origin=datarepository.url]
Application is now available at http://localhost:8080/designer/
You can specify workspace location where pages and widgets are stored. Default value is {user.home}/.bonita
Available options can be listed by running
java -jar backend/target/ui-designer-1.13.0-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar -h
Other available options are listed here : http://tomcat.apache.org/maven-plugin-2.0/executable-war-jar.html
Develop
Backend and frontend side could be launched in dev mode by using server.sh script. It launch gulp serve backend task, waits for jetty to be running then launches gulp serve frontend task.
$ ./server.sh
You can access the application at http://localhost:3000/index-dev.html, backend side is accessible at http://localhost:8080/
Debug mode
How to debug backend with some breakpoint ?
In community/backend run debug mode:
mvnDebug jetty:run
Go in your IDE, edit run configuration: Select Remote. Only change port value (5000 by default) to value display in your shell. Run this configuration in debug.
In community/frontend, run:
yarn start
Now you can debug your application with breakpoint.
Docker
You can run the ui-designer locally using Docker (of course, you need to install Docker to do so). The Dockerfile is a really simple one, using a base image with java7, adding the build standalone jar and starting it. Before building docker image, you need to build the project.
To build the image :
docker build -t bonita/ui-designer .
To run the image built with the previous command :
docker run -p 8080 bonita/ui-designer
This will start the builder on a random port on your docker host (either the local host if you're running linux, or the boot2docker VM if you're on MacOS). For boot2docker, you can find your VM IP with :
boot2docker ip
You can find the random port used with :
docker ps
For example, the application can start on http://192.168.59.103:49153/designer (192.168.59.103 being the default boot2docker IP and 49153 the random port used).
You can also run the image on a fixed port, 8000 for example, with :
docker run -p 8000:8080 bonita/ui-designer
