How to automate new modules’ registration within folio/testing-backend Vagrant box.

This "how to" describes a straightforward and simple approach to add new modules to the folio/testing-backend Vagrant box. This particular case is developed for 3 data-import modules "mod-source-record-storage", "mod-source-record-manager", "mod-data-import". But it can be easily extended/changed to deal with any other modules assuming all modules' dependencies are in place.

Step-by-step guide

1. Prepare jar files for all modules which will be added to the box and start the vagrant box.

   1 compile and package all modules you are going to add to the box. You should have *-fat.jar, ModuleDescriptor.json and DeploymentDescriptor.json files in the target folder for each module.

   

   2 extract folio-testing-backend-additionalModules.zip into the folder where the vagrant file will be located.

   

   3 For each module copy *-fat.jar, ModuleDescriptor.json and DeploymentDescriptor.json files into the target folder of the respective module under the additionalModules, Dockerfile into the respective module's folder under the additionalModules.

   

   

   4 Start Vagrant Box using "vagrant up" command

   

   5 Wait until the box starts.

   6 Enjoy, you have your modules added to the diku tenant in the folio/testing-backend Vagrant box.

2. In case you need to redeploy the module(s) just copy new versions of *-fat.jar, ModuleDescriptor.json and DeploymentDescriptor.json files as you did at the previous step and run "vagrant provision" command.
   
   
   

3. If you need to add another module to the box

   1 create a new folder for the module under the additionalModules

   

   2 Copy docker-DeploymentDescriptor.json and docker-TenantAssignment.json into this new folder from any existing module's folder

   

   3 Define new MACRO for the module in these files

   
   

   also define a new docker image name for the module

   

   4 Change run-basic.sh to include the new module into the box. The changes are quite straightforward just copy and paste code snippets for one of the existing modules and change the MACRO name.

   5 Recreate a vagrant box or run "vagrant provision" command.
