OpenEuropa Dashboard Agent

Drupal module that integrates with the central Dashboard.

It provides a series of endpoints which expose information about the site to the Dashboard.

Installation

In order to use this module with the Dashboard, you will need to configure you site settings to have two required values:

// The token used by the Dashboard to authenticate its requests to the site.
$settings["oe_dashboard_agent.token"] = '';
// An array of IPs that are whitelisted for making requests to the Dashboard routes.
$settings["oe_dashboard_agent.allowed_ips"] = [];

To set up this module within the European Commission, OpenEuropa-based infrastructure, you will need to do the following:

  • Establish the environment specific token that both the site environment and the Dashboard are aware of. Set that token in an environment variable called DASHBOARD_TOKEN.
  • Create a site environment variable called DASHBOARD_ALLOWED_IPS which contains a comma separated (or one) list of IPs to be whitelisted.
  • Ensure the site settings.php reads the environment and sets them in the above-mentioned settings, like so:
$settings["oe_dashboard_agent.token"] = getenv('DASHBOARD_TOKEN');
$settings["oe_dashboard_agent.allowed_ips"] = explode(',', getenv('DASHBOARD_ALLOWED_IPS'));

Development setup

You can build the development site by running the following steps:

  • Install the Composer dependencies:
composer install

A post command hook (drupal:site-setup) is triggered automatically after composer install. It will make sure that the necessary symlinks are properly setup in the development site. It will also perform token substitution in development configuration files such as behat.yml.dist.

Please note: project files and directories are symlinked within the test site by using the OpenEuropa Task Runner's Drupal project symlink command.

If you add a new file or directory in the root of the project, you need to re-run drupal:site-setup in order to make sure they are be correctly symlinked.

If you don't want to re-run a full site setup for that, you can simply run:

$ ./vendor/bin/run drupal:symlink-project
  • Install test site by running:
./vendor/bin/run drupal:site-install

The development site web root should be available in the build directory.

Using Docker Compose

Alternatively, you can build a development site using Docker and Docker Compose with the provided configuration.

Docker provides the necessary services and tools such as a web server and a database server to get the site running, regardless of your local host configuration.

Requirements:

Configuration

By default, Docker Compose reads two files, a docker-compose.yml and an optional docker-compose.override.yml file. By convention, the docker-compose.yml contains your base configuration and it's provided by default. The override file, as its name implies, can contain configuration overrides for existing services or entirely new services. If a service is defined in both files, Docker Compose merges the configurations.

Find more information on Docker Compose extension mechanism on the official Docker Compose documentation.

Usage

To start, run:

docker-compose up

It's advised to not daemonize docker-compose so you can turn it off (CTRL+C) quickly when you're done working. However, if you'd like to daemonize it, you have to add the flag -d:

docker-compose up -d

Then:

docker-compose exec web composer install
docker-compose exec web ./vendor/bin/run drupal:site-install

Using default configuration, the development site files should be available in the build directory and the development site should be available at: http://127.0.0.1:8080/build.

Running the tests

To run the grumphp checks:

docker-compose exec web ./vendor/bin/grumphp run

To run the phpunit tests:

docker-compose exec web ./vendor/bin/phpunit

To run the behat tests:

docker-compose exec web ./vendor/bin/behat

Step debugging

To enable step debugging from the command line, pass the XDEBUG_SESSION environment variable with any value to the container:

docker-compose exec -e XDEBUG_SESSION=1 web <your command>

Please note that, starting from XDebug 3, a connection error message will be outputted in the console if the variable is set but your client is not listening for debugging connections. The error message will cause false negatives for PHPUnit tests.

To initiate step debugging from the browser, set the correct cookie using a browser extension or a bookmarklet like the ones generated at https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/marklets/.
