QE Dashboard tool for displaying jenkins test results. Currently deployed at greenboard.hq

To build and deploy your own instance of greenboard:

git clone https://github.com/tahmmee/greenboard.git

Have the following dependencies ready before getting started:

• golang
• nodejs
• local instance of couchbase server with 3 buckets (mobile, sdk, server)

Build Backend service. From top of repo run

go build

go install

Build UI:

cd app

npm install

bower install

./node_modules/.bin/grunt

Open config.json and verify CouchbaseAddress and ListenAddress for greenboard service are correct.

greenboard

Greenboard service should be running on host and port specified from ListenAddress. Default localhost:8181

Now that greenboard is running you will need to collect jobs from jenkins. This is currently done via jinja.

git clone https://github.com/tahmmee/jinja.git

python jinja.py

This will run the collector once. In production you may want to wrap it in some continuous loop to get constant updates.

"My Jobs aren't showing up"

• Make sure you ran your job with expected build number
• Make sure your job produced test results. Append the following uri to your job and check for totalCount keyword - ie. 'http://qa.sc.couchbase.com/job/cen006-p0-sanit-vset01-00/1624/api/json?pretty=true'
• Check that the collector is running
• Look in constants.py of the collector repro (jinja) and make sure the job you are looking for matches within 'SERVER_PLATFORMS' and 'SERVER_FEATURES', both matches are necessary for job to be picked up

"My Job should be removed"

• Check that your job was first deleted from jenkins. Greenboard only purges deleted jobs
• Make sure that the purger is running
• Wait some time, purger have 5 minute delay
• Debug the purger in scripts/purger.go, check to see what jobs it's picking up and why yours may be missing

"Greenboard is down"

• Make sure greenboard service itself is running
• Make sure that couchbase backend is running
• Check config.json that ListenAddress is correct for greenboard service. Also make sure CouchbaseAddress is correct
• Check for system firewalls that may be blocking greenboard http port

Greenboard must run against a single instance of couchbase - preferably localhost. This is because all data is loaded into vbucket 0 due to a legacy workaround to avoid dependencies on sdks ie golang/nodejs/python.
