Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

maas-ui

This is repository contains sourcecode for the MAAS web frontend.

CircleCI

CI

It is comprised of the following yarn workspaces:

  • legacy: the angularjs maas client.
  • ui: the new react maas client (all new work should be in this workspace).
  • shared: code shared between both legacy and ui.
  • proxy: a proxying express project, used for serving both legacy and ui projects in development.

Adding a new workspace

To add a new workspace, edit package.json and add the project's directory name to the workspaces array.

To import modules from existing projects in your new project, add the dependant projects to your projects dependencies in package.json.

maas-ui development setup

Note: You will need access to an instance of MAAS running in order to run maas-ui.

Although we recommend developing against an already deployed MAAS, to setup a local MAAS in a container, you can follow the steps in this guide.

Generate an SSH key in your container (LXD and multipass)

Note: If you intend to develop against a local MAAS, the following instructions should be run in the container running MAAS.

Inside your container (LXD or multipass) generate a new SSH key and add it to your Github account.

Clone the repository

Inside your MAAS container (LXD or multipass), clone the maas-ui repository. If you are going to be developing on maas-ui then do the following:

git clone -o upstream [email protected]:canonical-web-and-design/maas-ui
cd maas-ui
git remote add origin [email protected]:<github-username>/maas-ui

Otherwise run:

git clone [email protected]:<github-username>/maas-ui

Edit local config

By default maas-ui will connect to karura.internal which requires Canonical VPN access. If you wish to develop against a different MAAS then you can create a local env:

cp proxy/.env proxy/.env.local

Update the contents of that file to:

MAAS_URL="http://<your-maas-ip>:5240/"

Install Docker inside your container (LXD and multipass)

The simplest way is to use dotrun snap. Once installed you can run dotrun in the root of this project.

macOS

VPN Configuration

To connect to a remote MAAS over the VPN, you'll need to configure nat on your macOS host:

  1. run ifconfig and make note of the utun interfaces.
  2. For every utun interface, add the following line to /etc/pf.conf directly after any existing nat-anchor or nat commands (the order is significant):
nat on utun0 from bridge100:network to any -> (utun0)
  1. Run sudo pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf to update configuration.
  2. You should be able to ping karura.internal from your maas multipass.

Be aware that this may prevent reaching hosts on your internal network. You can of course comment out the nat configuration and rerun sudo pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf to reset everything.

Docker

If running dotrun from your macOS, you'll need to Use multipass to creeate an Ubuntu VM.

Running

To run the MAAS UI project through a Docker container, from the root of the MAAS UI project run:

dotrun

If you get babel errors then you should run yarn clean-all and retry.

Otherwise you can run the project on your host machine directly if you have node and yarn installed, using:

yarn serve

From here you should be able to view the project at <your-local-maas-ip>:8400/MAAS/

Building

Ensure both node (current LTS) and yarn are installed.

From the root of the MAAS UI project run:

yarn build-all

Optimised production bundles for both ui and legacy will be built, and output to ./build.

Testing with Cypress

Cypress is an end-to-end Javascript testing framework that executes in the browser, and therefore in the same run loop as the device under test. It includes features such as time travel (through the use of UI snapshots), real-time reloads and automatic/intuitive waiting.

Running headless tests

To run headless Cypress tests, enter the following command from the root of the project:

yarn test-cypress

This will automatically start legacy, ui and proxy servers and run the Cypress tests, in which results are logged to the console. After running the tests, the servers and process will close.

Interactive testing

By launching the Cypress Test Runner, you will be able to to see commands as they execute while also viewing the UI while it's being tested. Note that because the Cypress Test Runner is a graphical application, launching it in a container or VM will require some extra steps because you will need to forward the XVFB messages from Cypress out of the container into an X11 server running on the host machine.

Interactive testing on host machine

If developing directly on your host machine, simply run maas-ui in development as normal:

yarn serve

Then open the Cypress Test Runner by running:

yarn cypress-open

You should then see a list of test specs in maas-ui. You can run all interactive tests by clicking "Run all specs" in the top-right of the window.

Interactive testing in LXD

You will need to create or update an LXD profile that allows running GUI applications. If creating a new profile, run:

lxc profile create gui

Open the profile config:

lxc profile edit gui

And replace with the following yaml:

config:
  environment.DISPLAY: :0
  raw.idmap: both 1000 1000
  user.user-data: |
    #cloud-config
    runcmd:
      - 'sed -i "s/; enable-shm = yes/enable-shm = no/g" /etc/pulse/client.conf'
      - 'echo export PULSE_SERVER=unix:/tmp/.pulse-native | tee --append /home/ubuntu/.profile'
    packages:
      - x11-apps
      - mesa-utils
      - pulseaudio
description: GUI LXD profile
devices:
  PASocket:
    path: /tmp/.pulse-native
    source: /run/user/1000/pulse/native
    type: disk
  X0:
    path: /tmp/.X11-unix/X0
    source: /tmp/.X11-unix/X0
    type: disk
  mygpu:
    type: gpu
name: gui
used_by:

Now either launch a new container with this profile, for example using Ubuntu 18.04:

lxc launch --profile default --profile gui ubuntu:18.04 container-name

Or if you have an existing LXD container, you can update the profile by running:

lxc profile assign existing-container default,gui
lxc restart existing-container

Install the following dependencies in your container, which are required for Cypress to relay information to the host machine:

sudo apt-get install xvfb libgtk-3-dev libnotify-dev libgconf-2-4 libnss3 libxss1 libasound2

You may need to install Cypress explicitly if you've set up file-sharing with your host/container.

node_modules/.bin/cypress install

You should now be able to open the Cypress Test Runner in your container by running:

yarn cypress-open

If you encounter an error with file watchers e.g. ENOSPC: System limit for number of file watchers reached, run:

echo "fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288" | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf
sudo sysctl -p

For more information on running GUI applications in LXD, refer to this blog post.

Interactive testing in multipass

Install the following dependencies in your multipass, which are required for Cypress to relay information to the host machine:

sudo apt-get install xvfb libgtk-3-dev libnotify-dev libgconf-2-4 libnss3 libxss1 libasound2

Next, validate whether ssh on the multipass VM is configured to forward X11 communication. Ensure you have the following values in /etc/ssh/ssh_config:

ForwardX11 yes
ForwardX11Trusted yes

And the following values in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
PrintMotd no
TCPKeepAlive yes

The following steps will differ depending on the OS of the host system.

Ubuntu setup

Since you are running from an Ubuntu graphical desktop then you already have an X11 server running locally so no further installation is necessary.

MacOS setup

First install XQuartz, which is the Mac version of X11. You can install XQuartz using homebrew with:

brew cask install xquartz

Or directly from the website here. You will now need to restart your machine.

Start XQuartz using:

open -a XQuartz

In the XQuartz preferences, go to the “Security” tab and make sure you’ve got “Allow connections from network clients” ticked.

Establish connection

Establish an ssh connection from your graphical desktop to the remote X client using the “-Y” switch for trusted X11 forwarding. Note that you may need to add your host's public SSH key to the multipass' list of allowed hosts.

ssh -Y multipass@<multipass-ip>

You should now be able to run the Cypress Test Runner by running:

yarn cypress-open
