Deployment Process

Branch promotion works like this:
feature -> dev -> master

Create your feature branch as a branch off "dev". That feature branch will be merged into "dev", which will then be merged into "master."

CTXFloods uses TravisCI for continuous integration. Whenever you push to github, a TravisCI build will be triggered. By default this will only run the tests. If you want to deploy your feature branch on a git push, add the name of your feature branch to deployment/devDeployConfig with the option deploy: true. This will build a new S3 Bucket for your feature branch frontend. Subsequent pushes from the same branch will update this same bucket. If you want to connect it to a specific backend deployment, add the name of the backend branch under the backend option. Ex:

"195-camera": {
  deploy: true,
  backend: "195-camera"
}

If deploy: true is set without a specified backend, your frontend will point to the "dev" branch backend.

Environment variables are sourced from deployment/vars depending on your branch. (All feature branches share the same environment variables as dev.sh. Any feature branch specific configs should be handled in deployment/devDeployConfig.js.) Any environment variable prefixed with TRAVIS_ is a secret environment variable that is stored in TravisCI. It will get loaded in during the build phase of a TravisCI/github deployment.

It would be possible to deploy ctxfloods without continuous integration by running deployment/deploy.sh. However, you would have to provide your own substitutes for the TRAVIS_ environment variables.

Update settings in CloudFront if you want to use a custom DNS name.

Development Tips

• 🔑 Some pages require a login:

  

  📧 In case of such a page, you can log in as the default super admin user:

  • Email: [email protected]
  • Password: texasfloods

  This password is set as PG_SUPER_ADMIN_PW in /deployment/vars/local in ctxfloods-backend.

• Every route that is prefixed by /dashboard is a route that requires authentication. To get to the login page, manually enter the URL address localhost:3000/dashboard/map. After authentication succeeds, you will be redirected to the authenticated /dashboard/map page. To log off (i.e. remove you jwt_user_token from local storage), click "Sign out" in the upper right hand corner of the header and manually enter localhost:3000/map.

• If you added a new postgres migration file to the backend, regenerate the frontend's graphql schema file by running yarn get-schema

• Environment variables prefixed by TRAVIS_ are secret variables stored in TravisCI. They get loaded in during the build phase of a TravisCI/github deployment.
