AdminModule

AdminModule is a tool to allow maintenance and configuration of AMS environments through the command line or Rake tasks.

Because it is scriptable, it can be used to create efficient and repeatable migrations resulting in low risk deployments.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'admin_module'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install admin_module

Usage

Command Line Help

Tasks

AdminModule provides tasks you can use in your rake file.

Stage Tasks

Add require 'admin_module/rake/stage_tasks' to your rake file and admin_module will add a set of stage tasks for each configured environment. All tasks are prefixed with am:ENV_NAME:.

Task options are displayed within brackets like so: am:dev:stage:read[name]. If the option contains spaces, surround the option, or the entire task name with single or double quotes:

rake am:dev:stage:read['Some Stage Name']

# or

rake 'am:dev:stage:read[Some Stage Name]'

Tasks include:

  • stage:delete deletes a stage
  • stage:export exports all stages to a yaml file
  • stage:import imports stage configs from a yaml file
    • the allow_create flag is optional. Default: false. If true, stages can be created during import.
  • stage:list list all stage names
  • stage:read output a stage configuration in yaml format
  • stage:rename rename an existing stage

Scripting

You can use the Client for scripting.

ToDo

  • complete conversion to thor
  • PPM configuration specs
  • clean up (remove) old cli files
  • document new commands in README
    • PPMs
    • Tasks
    • Snapshots

Process Flow (CLI)

  • Command entered in console
  • lib/admin_module/cli.rb processes args
  • cli.rb hands command off to lib/admin_module/cli/gdl.rb
  • gdl.rb validates command and hands off to lib/admin_module/guideline.rb
  • guideline.rb processes command and uses lib/admin_module/page_factory.rb to get instance of web page objects needed to fulfill command request
  • guideline.rb completes command

Process Flow (Rake Task)

  • Rake imports/requires lib/admin_module/rake/deploy_task.rb
  • Rake task requires API object lib/admin_module/guideline.rb
  • API object processes task request, gets needed page objects from page_factory.rb
  • API object completes task request, returns control to task

Thor Conversion Process

Detailing the conversion steps taken while converting to Thor CLI interface.

  1. Create CLI spec for new interface (spec/lib/admin_module/cli/gdl_spec.rb)
  2. Create new CLI object (lib/admin_module/cli/gdl.rb)
  3. Create API spec for API object (spec/lib/admin_module/guideline_spec.rb)
  4. Create new/modify existing API object (lib/admin_module/guideline.rb)
  5. Make tests/specs pass
  6. Delete old CLI object (lib/admin_module/cli/cli_guideline.rb)

Create CLI Spec

Create a new spec file spec/lib/admin_module/cli/gdl_spec.rb.

Create a new CLI object lib/admin_module/cli/gdl.rb.

Edit lib/admin_module/cli.rb creating new base command pointing to new object (AdminModule::Gdl in this case).

Create lib/admin_module/guideline.rb which is an object that provides an API interface to the actual Guideline page object.

  • The Guideline page object only contains functionality that the actual webpage contains, ie. Add, Modify, Delete
  • The Guideline API object contains functionality that manipulates the webpage object to provide results. Maybe this means it uses the page object to lookup the available guidelines, throw an error if a guidline doesn't exist, or deletes a guideline if exists.
  • The API object also hides the fact that the app needs to go to a Guidelines page, select a guideline, then go to the GuidelineDetails page before it can manipulate a guideline, say, to change its name.

Testing

The specs are tested with the latest version of Chromium (44.0.2403.89) and chromedriver] (2.19) at this time.
