BCMI (mem-mmti-public)

https://mines.nrs.gov.bc.ca/

Introduction

The Ministry of Energy, Mines, and Low Carbon Innovation (EMLI), Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy (ENV), and Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) have collaborated to make information on the Province’s oversight of major mines in British Columbia accessible.

The application is being developed as an open source solution.

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running follow these steps.

Prerequisites

Git commit signing is required for commits. How to setup git commit signing

Software Requirements

• Node 20 or higher must be installed.
• @angular/cli should be installed.

Installation

• Clone the mem-mmti-public repository

To connect to the openshift dev database:

1. Login to openshift and copy the login token (Click your name in the top right)
2. In a terminal paste and run the login command.
3. Ensure no other postgres instance is running or choose another port (brew services stop postgresql)
4. Run the command: (Note: If the pod restarts, the pod name may change.) oc port-forward cms-postgres-1-2cn2c 5432:5432 -n f00029-dev

To connect to the frontend:

1. Install angular/cli npm i -g @angular/cli
2. cd bcmi
3. npm install

4. npm run start

   To connect to Strappi and graphql:

5. create an .env file in the cms folder using the .env.template, find secrets in openshift
6. npm install
7. cd cms
8. npm install
9. npm run develop
10. go to the pods openshift secrets to find the strappi login details
11. Login to strapi admin at http://localhost:1337/admin
12. See graphql queries at http://localhost:1337/graphql (ensure the strappi content has the 'find' role enabled)

Running tests:

Unit tests

Set up via Jest.

1. Run npm test to execute the unit tests.

End-to-end functional tests

Set up with BDDStack and BrowserStack. Modify GebConfig.groovy to customise your preferred browser. Configured remotes, confirmed to work with current tests include Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Internet explorer and Safari are available as well, but tests fail due to driver compatiblity with current tests.

BrowserStack Config

Open Source projects have free access to Browserstack Live and Automate, for up to 5 team members. To run tests with Browserstack you need to set the following environemnt variables:

1. BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME
2. BROWSERSTACK_TOKEN
3. DEBUG_MODE (true or false)

Run tests against local application:

• Run ng run e2e to automatically start the application locally and execute the end-to-end tests against a headless Chrome.

  OR

• Download BrowserStack binary set BASEURL to your local application address, and run ./gradlew remoteChrome

Note, e2e functional testing requires Java 10+.

Run tests against remote application:

1. Determine the URL at which the application is running.
2. Update the baseurl to the URL from step 1:
   • Either modify the GebConfig.groovy baseUrl directly.
   • Or set a BASEURL environment variable
3. See functional-tests/readme.md for how to execute the tests.

See the BDDStack Wiki for more information.

Architecture

BCMI is built using TypeScript and Angular for the front end, with Jest for testing. It employs PostgreSQL for database management and Node.js for the server, alongside Bootstrap and jQuery for design and interactivity. GraphQL facilitates data querying, while Strapi acts as the headless CMS.

Our production and staging environments run on an OpenShift container platform cluster. OpenShift templates for services are located in the openshift/ folder, along with more information about dev and staging environments on our cluster.
