FusionIIIT

FusionIIIT is the automation of various functionalities, modules and tasks of/for PDPM Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing, Jabalpur being developed in python3.8 and using Django Webframework.

System Configuration

Software Requirements

  • Python 3.8
  • Git

How to get started

  • on Ubuntu:

    // Install the required packages using the following command:

sudo apt install python3-pip python3-dev python3-venv libpq-dev build-essential git
sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade pip

  • on Windows:

    • Get Python 3.8 from here for AMD64/x64 or here for x86
    • Git from here
    • Install both using the downloaded exe files
      Important: Make sure to check the box that says Add Python 3.x to PATH to ensure that the interpreter will be placed in your execution path

Downloading the Code

  • Go to (https://github.com/FusionIIIT/Fusion) and click on Fork
  • You will be redirected to your fork, https://github.com/<your_user_name>/Fusion
  • Open the terminal, change to the directory where you want to clone the Fusion repository
  • Clone your repository using git clone https://github.com/<your_user_name>/Fusion
  • Enter the cloned directory using cd Fusion/

Setting up environment

  • Create a virtual environment
    • on Ubuntu: python3 -m venv env
    • on Windows PowerShell: python -m venv env
  • Activate the env
    • on Ubuntu: source env/bin/activate
    • on Windows PowerShell: .\env\Scripts\Activate.ps1
      Note : On Windows, it may be required to enable the Activate.ps1 script by setting the execution policy for the user. You can do this by issuing the following command: Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
  • Install the requirements: pip install -r requirements.txt

Running server

  • Change directory to FusionIIIT cd FusionIIIT
  • Run the server python manage.py runserver

Working with Code (Method 1)

Setting upstream

  • git remote add upstream https://github.com/FusionIIIT/Fusion
    • Adds the remote repository (the repository you forked from) so that changes can be pulled from/pushed to it

Switching branch

  • git checkout -b <module-name>
    • Creates a new branch <module-name> in your repository
  • git checkout <module-name>
    • Switches to the branch you just created

Migrating Changes (Database)

  • Make migrations $ python manage.py makemigrations
  • Migrate the changes to the database $ python manage.py migrate

Committing

  • git add .
    • Adds the changes to the staging area
  • git commit
    • Commits the staged changes

Syncing

Pulling

  • git pull upstream master
    • Pulls the changes from the upstream master branch

Pushing

  • git push -u origin <module-name>
    • Pushes the changes to your repository (First time only); using git push is sufficient later on
  • Go to https://github.com/<your_user_name>/Fusion/tree/<module-name> and create pull request

Working with Code (Alternative)

Testing Procedure:

Selenium-webdriver

Selenium is a browser automation library. Most often used for testing web-applications, Selenium may be used for any task that requires automating interaction with the browser.

Installation

You can visit Selenium Official website and can download the language-specific client drivers(Java in our case)

https://selenium-release.storage.googleapis.com/3.141/selenium-java-3.141.59.zip

You will need to download additional components to work with each of the major browsers. The drivers for Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft's IE and Edge web browsers are all standalone executables that should be placed on your system [PATH]. Apple's safaridriver is shipped with Safari 10 for OS X El Capitan and macOS Sierra. You will need to enable Remote Automation in the Develop menu of Safari 10 before testing.

Browser Component
Chrome ChromeDriver
Internet Explorer IEDriverServer
Firefox GeckoDriver

Add the Cucumber Eclipse Plugin for BDD testing

  • Install the Cucumber Eclipse Plugin from Eclipse MarketPlace under help

Getting Started

  • Open the Test folder in Eclipse IDE(You are free to use any IDE)

    • Open the pom.xml and build the project
    • Change the driver path in System.setProperty in line 16 of Step_defination.java

  • Under the src/main/resources we have main.feature file to define Scenarios and Steps

  • Give the step defination of the defined scenarios and steps in Step_Defination.java under src/main/java

Notifications Support

The project now supports notifications across all modules. To implement notifications in your module refer to the instructions below.

  • Create your notification class in ./FusionIIIT/notifications/views.py 
    def module_notif(sender, recipient, type):
  url='slug:slug'
  module='ModuleName'
  sender = sender
  recipient = recipient
  verb = ''

  // Type conditioned verb
  if type == 'A':
      verb = "A Verb"
  elif type == 'B':
      verb = "B Verb "
  notify.send(sender=sender, recipient=recipient, url=url, module=module, verb=verb)
  • Import your Notification class in your module into your_module/views.py 
    from notification.views import module_notif
  • To create a Notification, simply call the class and pass user objects for sender, receiver and a string type. 
    module_notif(sender, receiver, type)
  • The Notifications should then appear in the dashboard for the recipient
