README

Next generation of EnhancedRetrieval

This documentation is for developers.

Create VM

• Install Virtualbox - https://www.virtualbox.org/
• Install Vagrant - https://www.vagrantup.com/

Open cmd and change to folder "vm-ubuntu" and run:

vagrant up

Enter VM by running:

vagrant ssh

SOLR

and go to /var/www/html/mediawiki/vm-ubuntu and run:

sudo ./solr-installPowerSearch.sh
sudo ./solr-installCore.sh

ElasticSearch

goto to /var/www/html/mediawiki/vm-ubuntu and run:

sudo ./install-elastic.sh
sudo ./set-password-for-elastic.sh

This creates a user "elastic" with a password and sets it in the env.php file.

Build Frontend

Install NPM - https://nodejs.org/en/download

Open CMD console and change to folder "fs-react"

• npm install (initially or after dependency update)
• npm start (to run the webserver for local development)
• npm run dev-build (DEV build)
• npm run build (PROD build)
• npm run installjs (copies the deployable to the public folder)
• npm test (to run all unit tests)
• npm run it-test (to run all integration-tests)

Backend

To run backend tests, login via SSH to VM and run:

/var/www/html/mediawiki/runTests.sh

To import test data for frontend:

php /var/www/html/mediawiki/test/importTestdataForFrontend.php
