bundle console assets into server (close #516, close #521, close #2130) (#2192)
This PR builds console static assets into the server docker image at `/srv/console-assets`. When env var `HASURA_GRAPHQL_CONSOLE_ASSETS_DIR=/srv/console-assets` or flag `--console-assets-dir=/srv/console-assets` is set on the server, the files in this directory are served at `/console/assets/*`.

The console html template will have a variable called `cdnAssets: false` when this flag is set and it loads assets from server itself instead of CDN.

The assets are moved to a new bucket with a new naming scheme:

```
graphql-engine-cdn.hasura.io/console/assets/
   /common/{}
   /versioned/<version/{}
   /channel/<channel>/<version>/{}
```

Console served by CLI will still load assets from CDN - will fix that in the next release.

Contributing

This guide explains how to set up the graphql-engine server for development on your own machine and how to contribute.

Pre-requisites

  • stack
  • A Postgres server (Recommended: Use docker to run a local postgres instance)
  • GNU Make (optional)
  • Node.js (v8.9+)
  • libpq-dev
  • psql
  • python >= 3.7 with pip3

Upgrading npm

If your npm is too old (< 5.7),

npm install -g npm@latest

or

sudo npm install -g npm@latest

or update your nodejs

Getting pip3

sudo apt install python3-pip

Development workflow

Fork and clone

  • Fork the repo on GitHub
  • Clone your forked repo: git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/graphql-engine
  • cd graphql-engine

Compile

  • compile console assets
    cd console
    npm ci
    npm run server-build
    cd ..
    
  • compile the server
    cd server
    stack build --fast
    

Run

  • Make sure postgres is running (Postgres >= 9.5)
  • Create a database on postgres
  • Run the binary: stack exec graphql-engine -- --database-url=<database-url> serve

Use --enable-console --console-assets-dir ../console/static/dist if you want console to be served.

database url looks like: postgres://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<dbname>

Running Postgres

The easiest way is to run docker in a container

docker run -p 5432:5432 -d postgres:11.1

Test if it's running by

telnet localhost 5432

psql

You will need psql or another client

sudo apt install postgresql-client

Work

  • Work on the feature/fix
  • Add test cases if relevant

Test

  • Install the py-test dependencies:
pip3 install -r tests-py/requirements.txt
  • Make sure postgres is running
  • Run the graphql-engine:
stack exec graphql-engine -- --database-url=<database-url> serve --enable-console
  • Set the environmental variables for event-trigger tests
export EVENT_WEBHOOK_HEADER="MyEnvValue"
export WEBHOOK_FROM_ENV="http://127.0.0.1:5592"
  • Run tests:
cd tests-py
pytest --hge-urls http://127.0.0.1:8080 --pg-urls <database_url> -vv

Create Pull Request

  • Make sure your commit messages meet the guidelines.
  • Create a pull request from your forked repo to the main repo.
  • Every pull request will automatically build and run the tests.

Code conventions

This helps enforce a uniform style for all committers.

  • Compiler warnings are turned on, make sure your code has no warnings.
  • Use hlint to make sure your code has no warnings.
  • Use stylish-haskell to format your code.
