Fix failing Docker build

[kaihendry]

https://github.com/unee-t/frontend/pull/750 which I think solves https://github.com/unee-t/frontend/pull/892#issuecomment-583220464 because it locks down to .meteor/release

CI is failing here since it's not building in the more controlled Dockerfile environment

I need to update .travis.yml

https://github.com/unee-t/frontend/blob/master/.travis.yml#L23

WIP, don't have time to work on it.

It appears running tests in the docker environment is pretty tricky.

This is actually not accurate AFAICT: when the tests are run on the node js 12 image built by Travis CI then the tests are passing:

See https://travis-ci.org/unee-t/frontend/builds/647650880 for an example of this.

There are indeed a few warnings flagged in the tests but apparently nothing fatal.

One solution might be to: 1- get Docker to build an image similar to the image that Travis CI node js 12 builds <-- get a working Docker image. 2- Optimize our code to make sure we are addressing the warning flagged by the build

@kaihendry what do you think of this methodology?

More information:

• Docker installs meteor 1.9.

• Travis CI seems to be using an older (unspecified AFAICT) meteor version

See the latest build: https://travis-ci.org/unee-t/frontend/builds/647920287

https://travis-ci.org/unee-t/frontend/jobs/647935938?utm_medium=notification&utm_source=github_status has the same node_js as https://travis-ci.org/unee-t/frontend/builds/647650880 and it fails. meteor npm install --save bcrypt is probably something to do it.

More information:

There was a similar looking issue here: https://github.com/laverdet/node-fibers/issues/409. Need to check if the fix implemented will also work for us.

Spent too much time getting the proprietary travis env working here. I rather defer to https://github.com/unee-t/frontend/pull/897 and use CodeBuild & focus on solely using the Dockerfile as the build env as before

The should deploy via https://ap-southeast-1.console.aws.amazon.com/codesuite/codepipeline/pipelines/frontend/view?region=ap-southeast-1

But now the problem here is that the env in the code deploy was not updated since https://github.com/unee-t/frontend/blob/master/buildspec.yml#L36 only updates the image name, not the environment.

The workaround I think is to do a manual ./deploy.sh to refresh/resync the env and create a new task. There might be a automated way of doing it by somehow mapping SSM secrets into the ECS docker-compose, but I am not sure how to do that.

Moving to a logic where the Docker image in seen as a separate entity from the rest of the code as described in Issue #895 might be worth considering to have a clean way of maintaining our codebase... See this article for a description of the “Docker repo” pattern

Just ran a ./deploy.sh that created the new task https://ap-southeast-1.console.aws.amazon.com/ecs/home?region=ap-southeast-1#/taskDefinitions/meteor/394 with the updated API_ACCESS_TOKEN.

Changing a secret across the env amongst the frontend, backend and the all the lambdas presents a lot of challenges and it would take quite some work to automate.
