Building assets on adhoc environment

Flow of CI build system

  • bin/start-build

    • signal a cron job on daemon servers (e.g. adhoc, staging, test) to restart the build on that server by creating ./build-started file

  • cookbooks/cdo-apps/templates/default/crontab.erb

    • Run aws/ci_build every minute on daemon environments.

  • aws/ci_build

    • Fetch and pull git changes. Run bundle install. Run bundle exec rake ci
    • lib/cdo/rake_utils.rb contains git, npm, rake helper functions

  • lib/rake/ci.rake

    • Run Firebase CI (:upload_rules, :set_config, :clear_test_channels)
    • Build apps, dashboard, pegasus and tools
    • Deploy: Upgrade frontend and update CloudFormation stack
    • Flush cache
    • Publish GitHub release if on production

  • lib/rake/build.rake

    • Build apps (first), dashboard, pegasus, and tools (last)

    • Build apps

      • Only build if any of the apps_build_trigger_paths have changed since last build.
      • Install dependencies by running yarn
      • Rebuild PhantomJS npm rebuild phantomjs-prebuilt
      • Then npm run build or npm run build:dist (minified/uglified version) depends on the environment
        • Execute grunt build tasks as set in apps/package.json, e.g. grunt clean build
        • apps/Gruntfile.js confgiures and delegates work to the various webpack tasks
        • apps/webpack.js bundles javascript files and minifies them. Results are in apps/build/package/js/
      • Write file build/commit_hash when done

    • Build dashboard

      • Run bundle install in dashboard dir
      • Migrate database bundle exec rake db:setup_or_migrate
        • dashboard/lib/tasks/setup_or_migrate.rake
      • Update schema cache file (only on non-prod environments) bundle exec rake db:schema:cache:dump and bundle exec rake db:round_trip_schema_cache
      • Seed dashboard bundle exec rake seed:all
        • dashboard/lib/tasks/seed.rake
        • Can skip this on development env by setting skip_seed_all: true in locals.yml
      • Clean dashboard asset bunlde exec rake assets:clean
      • Precompile dashboard assets bundle exec rake assets:precompile
        • This rake task does a few things
          • Generates/compiles all the static assets (including images, css, js, etc.) using the rails asset pipeline
          • Copies over all the files that were generated by webpack, adding a unique digest hash to the filenames, and constructing a manifest file with the mapping
          • Results are in dashboard/public/assets/
        • dashboard/lib/tasks/asset_sync.rake runs 2 other actions after runing assets:precompile
          • assets:precompile_application_js precompile application.js with js_compressor (:uglifier)
          • assets:sync synchronizes newly-added assets to S3 if CDN deployment is enabled
        • Configurations for the asset pipeline (config.assets lines)
          • dashboard/config/application.rb
          • dashboard/config/environments/production.rb
      • Upgrade dashboard sudo service dashboard upgrade

  • More details on building apps and asset pipeline: apps/docs/build.md

How to debug asset pipeline issue on adhoc

  • Check build log for issue. (The system auto rebuild whenever we switch branch.)
    • tail -f log/chat_messages.log
    • Example of a successful build

  • Fix the issue and rebuild by running bin/start-build. If everything works, asset changes should show up correctly.
  • Alternative option:
    • Manually re-try the failed step and follow next steps in lib/rake/build.rake to re-build apps and dashboard.
    • Upgrade dashboard service. May need to restart varnish
      • sudo service dashboard upgrade
      • sudo service varnish restart

How to fix seeding issue when building adhoc

  • Option 1: Fix seeding file (e.g. ApSchoolCode seeding)
    • Go to dashboard/lib/tasks/seed.rake to see how that table is seeded. It could be seeded from a CSV or S3.
    • Edit the seed CSV file to remove conflicting rows. Make a backup of the file first.
  • Option 2: Skip seeding
    • Edit lib/rake/build.rake -> task dashboard -> comment out seed:all call
