Setting up Metasmoke development

NobodyNada

Dec 15, 2016 22:24

If there's anything I can help with, I can in about an hour

I don't know Ruby though

ArtOfCode

@Undo I was debating whether I had time, but probably not

@NobodyNada that's probably a limiting factor, really

given that the entire thing is Ruby

well

Undo

@NobodyNada Art didn't either until... what, a few months ago?

I learned Ruby on a consulting project. It's really not that hard.

ArtOfCode

@Undo look up my first MS commit, and I learned it about a week before that

mid-January this year

NobodyNada

I could git clone MS and try to figure it out

Undo

@NobodyNada Note that if you're on Windows, it's a little bit harder.

NobodyNada

Dec 15, 2016 22:26

I'm on Mac

ArtOfCode

^

as in much harder

Undo

@NobodyNada oh, then it's fine. Clone away.

ArtOfCode

as in you need a Linux VM to be anywhere near productive

Undo

"a little bit"

I can walk you through getting it set up.

I wonder if it works without a db dump

ArtOfCode

@Undo Yes, now that we have seeds

Undo

Dec 15, 2016 22:27

@ArtOfCode Oh, sweet. You've tested them from scratch?

ArtOfCode

the only thing that didn't before now was not having a SmokeDetector record, but you can seed that in now

@Undo yeah, once about a month ago

Undo

yay

ArtOfCode

should be able to git clone, bundle install, db:schema:load, db:migrate, db:seed and you're ready to go

NobodyNada

I know how to do the git clone part, but that's about it :p

Undo

@NobodyNada cd into the metasmoke directory

NobodyNada

Dec 15, 2016 22:29

done

Undo

What's ruby --version say?

I forget what's bundled with OS X these days

NobodyNada

ruby 2.0.0p648 (2015-12-16 revision 53162) [universal.x86_64-darwin16]

thanks for helping!

Undo

good enough, probably

NobodyNada

I can update it with Homebrew

SmokeDetector

naa- by DavidPostill

Undo

Dec 15, 2016 22:30

actually, it requires 2.2.2+

ArtOfCode

probably want 2.3.0

Undo

@NobodyNada I'd recommend using rvm instead, makes things a little cleaner

ArtOfCode

seems to be more stable than the 2.2.x series

Undo

rvm.io

gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3

\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby=2.3.3

NobodyNada

installing, thanks!

ArtOfCode

Dec 15, 2016 22:31

(yes the backslash is significant)

no idea what it does, but things break if you don't include it

NobodyNada

Stack Overflow says it prevents the command from being aliased

SmokeDetector

@Undo would installing ruby on rails be easier on windows 10, now that it comes with a subsystem for ubuntu? (its like a full blown ubuntu environment in windows, including sudo)

NobodyNada

Dec 15, 2016 22:38

it failed to install it:

> There was an error while trying to resolve rubygems version for 'latest'.
Halting the installation.

> /Users/jonathan/.rvm/bin/rvm: line 66: shell_session_update: command not found
bash: line 850: shell_session_update: command not found

Undo

@NobodyNada What's the error?

whut

NobodyNada

which is strange, since running shell_session_update works just fine in the terminal

Undo

What command did you run?

NobodyNada

I'll try running the command again, and if that doesn't work I'll just use Homebrew.

\curl -sSL get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby=2.3.3

Undo

hrmph

Yeah, go ahead and just use Brew. Won't hurt anything

NobodyNada

Dec 15, 2016 22:40

I just ran the installer again; it completed in about a second and it works now

ArtOfCode

@Ferrybig yes, if that's in production now

NobodyNada

ruby -v:

ruby 2.3.3p222 (2016-11-21 revision 56859) [x86_64-darwin16]

Undo

dat'll work

gem install bundler next

NobodyNada

done

Undo

You have some kind of awesome Internet connection

@NobodyNada bundle install, it should fail for some reason

Always does, then we just track down what it wants

ArtOfCode

Dec 15, 2016 22:42

I dunno, worked first time for me when I did a fresh clone

NobodyNada

@Undo I think it's being faster than it usually is right now

Undo

@ArtOfCode Yeah, you already had the Nokogiri dependencies and such installed

ArtOfCode

true

NobodyNada

it says I need to install mysql; I'm doing that right now with Homebrew

Undo

You're having a suspiciously smooth time of it

NobodyNada

Dec 15, 2016 22:49

I think bundle install succeeded, but it gave me a bunch of information about Passenger and about configuration files

Undo

@NobodyNada About restarting it with touch?

You can ignore that stuff

NobodyNada

yeah, that's what it is; thanks!

Undo

When you installed MySQL through Brew, did you follow up on mysql_secure_installation and such?

NobodyNada

no; I didn't pay any attention

I probably should have

Undo

There should be some instructions that Brew threw at you, follow those to get MySQL set up

(it's possible to just use SQLite, but MySQL works better)

NobodyNada

Dec 15, 2016 22:52

Should I install "VALIDATE PASSWORD PLUGIN"?

Undo

@NobodyNada Never heard of it, but it probably wouldn't hurt

your choice, leaving it off is probably fine

NobodyNada

okay, done

Undo

Did Brew give you a root password for it?

NobodyNada

I set up a password

Undo

kk

So now mysql -u root -p and it'll ask you for your password

NobodyNada

Dec 15, 2016 22:54

ok

Undo

Once you're in, CREATE DATABASE metasmoke;

NobodyNada

ok

Undo

Followed by CREATE USER 'metasmoke'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

Change password if you want, it doesn't matter much

NobodyNada

k

Undo

Then GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON 'metasmoke'.* TO 'metasmoke'@'localhost';

FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

NobodyNada

Dec 15, 2016 22:56

> ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ''metasmoke'.* TO 'metasmoke'@'localhost'' at line 1

Undo

ugh

just a sec

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `metasmoke`.* TO `metasmoke`@`localhost`;

perhaps

(backticks)

NobodyNada

that worked; thank you!

Andy

Could all of these steps get put in the MS wiki ?

Undo

@Andy I think we're generating one right now

Andy

Woot

Undo

Dec 15, 2016 22:58

@NobodyNada Now cntrl-d to exit MySQL

NobodyNada

ok

Undo

Inside the metasmoke folder (cli):

cd config; cp database.sample.yml database.yml

Open database.yml in your editor of choice.

Replace the development: section with something like this:

development:
  adapter: mysql2
  database: metasmoke
  encoding: utf8
  username: metasmoke
  password: yourpass
  host: 127.0.0.1
  port: 3306

Replacing yourpass with... your password, of course

NobodyNada

ok

Undo

Now, hypothetically, this should work:

In the metasmoke root, run:

Nope, not that (unless it worked, then it's fine)

rails db:create

rails db:seed

NobodyNada

that worked

ArtOfCode

Dec 15, 2016 23:03

you're gonna want schema:load in between those two @Undo

Undo

@ArtOfCode seed doesn't load it for you?

Let's test it. @NobodyNada rails c

ArtOfCode

not that I've noticed

Undo

Then ap Post.last

NobodyNada

it gave me a console thing, after spitting out a warning:

/Users/jonathan/Desktop/Metasmoke/config/initializers/appconfig.rb:1: warning: already initialized constant AppConfig
/Users/jonathan/Desktop/Metasmoke/config/environments/development.rb:19: warning: previous definition of AppConfig was here

irb(main):001:0>

Undo

yup

ArtOfCode

Dec 15, 2016 23:04

normal

Undo

ap Post.last in there

NobodyNada

  Post Load (0.3ms)  SELECT  `posts`.* FROM `posts` ORDER BY `posts`.`id` DESC LIMIT 1
#<Post:0x007fc28b5ed170> {
                        :id => 1,
                     :title => "Test Post",
                      :body => "Test Post",
                      :link => "//stackoverflow.com/a/40291627",
        :post_creation_date => Thu, 15 Dec 2016 22:02:16 UTC +00:00,
                :created_at => Thu, 15 Dec 2016 23:02:16 UTC +00:00,
                :updated_at => Thu, 15 Dec 2016 23:02:16 UTC +00:00,

Undo

yeah, so it worked.

Sweet

NobodyNada

great! thank you!

Undo

rails s to start the webserver

(short for rails server, as c is short for console)

NobodyNada

Dec 15, 2016 23:04

I'll start learning Ruby soon and start working on it

ArtOfCode

and you should have a functioning metasmoke on localhost:3000
