Brandon Simmons da78a77fb2 In tests/dev.sh: upgrade ruamel to support python 3.7. Closes #3312
Tested on python 3.5 and 3.7

We make light use of pyenv to set an appropriate python version if
installed. We could easily install a correct version too if we wanted
but that seemed invasive.

The newer ruamel was an annoying upgrade but also offers some
improvements that exposed some test suite issues (fixed later).

# 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](https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/README/#how-to-install)
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) (>= v8.9)
- npm >= 5.7
- brotli
- libpq-dev
- python >= 3.5 with pip3
- [pyenv](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv) (Recommended, not required)
The Brotli can be installed from source using `git`, `cmake` and `pkgconf` on Debian with:
$ apt-get -y update \
&& apt-get -y install git cmake pkgconf \
&& git clone https://github.com/google/brotli.git && cd brotli && mkdir out && cd out && ../configure-cmake \
&& make && make test && make install && ldconfig
The last two prerequisites can be installed on Debian with:
$ sudo apt install libpq-dev python3 python3-pip python3-venv
### Upgrading npm
If your npm is too old (>= 5.7 required):
$ npm install -g npm@latest # sudo may be required
or update your nodejs.
## Development workflow
You should fork the repo on github and then `git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/graphql-engine`.
After making your changes
### Compile
...console assets:
$ cd console
$ npm ci
$ npm run server-build
$ cd ..
...and the server:
$ cd server
$ stack build --fast
### Run and Test
The easiest way to run `graphql-engine` locally for development is to first
launch a new postgres container with:
$ scripts/dev.sh postgres
Then in a new terminal launch `graphql-engine` in dev mode with:
$ scripts/dev.sh graphql-engine
The `dev.sh` will print some helpful information and logs from both services
will be printed to screen.
You can run the test suite with:
$ scripts/dev.sh test
This should run in isolation.
### Create Pull Request
- Make sure your commit messages meet the [guidelines](../CONTRIBUTING.md).
- 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](https://github.com/ndmitchell/hlint) to make sure your code has no warnings.
- Use [stylish-haskell](https://github.com/jaspervdj/stylish-haskell) to format your code.
