DCAT USMetadata Form App for CKAN

Project description

Github Actions CircleCI

ckanext-dcat_usmetadata

This extension provides a new dataset form for inventory.data.gov. The form is tailored to managing metadata meeting the DCAT-US Schema.

Usage

Dependencies

This module currently depends on the USMetadata app for server-side validation and rendering. Make sure it is enabled in CKAN's plugins.

This extension is compatible with these versions of CKAN.

CKAN version Compatibility
<=2.7 no
2.8 yes
2.9 complete

Installation

To install this package, activate CKAN virtualenv (e.g. "source /path/to/virtenv/bin/activate"), then run

(virtualenv) pip install ckanext-dcat-usmetadata

In your CKAN .ini file add dcat_usmetadata to your enabled plugins:

ckan.plugins = [YOUR PLUGINS HERE...] dcat_usmetadata

Commands

publishers-import

This extension adds a new CLI command for importing publishers linked to CKAN organizations. The list of publishers should be exported in a CSV data and it should have the following structure (note the headers):

organization,publisher,publisher_1,publisher_2,publisher_3,publisher_4,publisher_5
agricultural-marketing-service-department-of-agriculture,Department of Agriculture,Agricultural Marketing Service,,,,
ars-usda-gov,Department of Agriculture,Agricultural Research Service,,,,
aphis-usda-gov,Department of Agriculture,Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service,,,,
risk-management-agency-department-of-agriculture,Department of Agriculture,Departmental Management,,,,
usda-gov,Department of Agriculture,Office of Chief Information Officer,,,,
usda-gov,Department of Agriculture,Economic Research Service,,,,
usda-gov,Department of Agriculture,Farm Service Agency,,,,
usda-gov,Department of Agriculture,Food and Nutrition Service,,,,
usda-gov,Department of Agriculture,Food Safety and Inspection Service,,,,
usda-gov,Department of Agriculture,Foreign Agricultural Service,,,,

usda-gov,Department of Agriculture,Rural Development,,,,
usda-gov,Department of Agriculture,GIPSA,Federal Grain Inspection Service,,,

Each CKAN organization must have its own list of publishers.

Example of running the command:

$ paster --plugin=ckanext-dcat_usmetadata publishers-import publishers.csv -c /etc/ckan/production.ini

Development

Prerequisites

These tools are required for development.

Setup

Install Node.js dependencies.

yarn install

Build the JS application. The new build files can be found in ckanext/dcat_usmetadata/public folder.

yarn build

Build and start the docker containers.

yarn build:docker
yarn up

Testing

There are several levels of testing:

Suite Description Command
Unit tests for the JS app Tests for the React app. yarn test:metadata-app
CKAN extension tests Python tests using Nosetests yarn test
End to end tests Cypress tests against inventory app yarn e2e

Linting

Lint the python code.

yarn lint:python3

Lint the JavaScript code.

yarn lint:js

Metadata app

The Metadata app is a Create React App-bootstrapped project.

To run the app use yarn && yarn start:metadata-app command.

TODO briefly describe how the metadata application relates to the CKAN extension.

Development

This project uses cosmos for development.

Run CKAN locally (yarn up), get the Admin user's API Key and add it in /metadata-app/public/index.html as data-apiKey attribute of the div element. Add a test org for development purposes.

Run yarn && yarn cosmos to start the cosmos server, which will watch the metadata-app/src directory for changes.

Run the unit tests:

yarn test:metadata-app
# To run it in watch mode:
yarn test:metadata-app:watch

Update Jest snapshots

Some tests render a fixture component with Jest and then match against a known good snapshot (HTML rendering) of the component. When you edit a component, you'll usually have to update the snapshot and inspect the diff to make sure all changes are as intended.

yarn test:metadata-app --updateSnapshot

Local development and end-to-end testing

We use the inventory app locally for development and end-to-end (e2e) testing.

To build the latest JS code and update assets in the CKAN extension, you can run the following command from the root directory of this project:

yarn build

For convenience, we have prepared a single script that you can run to perform end-to-end tests locally. Don't forget to yarn build prior to running e2e tests, otherwise, the tests could run against older builds:

yarn e2e

Note, it may be necessary to remove cached images when rebuilding the inventory app docker container, in order to ensure that the new usmetadata-app template is included in the build. If you want to make sure that you aren't using cached builds, you can try:

docker-compose build --no-cache --pull ckanext-dcat_usmetadata_app

To run e2e tests interactively use:

yarn e2e:interactive

Publishing a new version of the extension

We publish this extension to PyPI - https://pypi.org/project/ckanext-dcat-usmetadata/. This is done by CI job that is triggered on tagged commit on master branch. When you need to release a new version of the extension, you need to:

  1. Create a new branch for releasing a new version of the extension. You can name your branch with the following convention: release/x.y.z;
  2. Update version in setup.py;
  3. Get your PR merged to master branch;
  4. Tag the merged commit with the new version (git tag $version).

In the CI job, the following is done for tagged commits:

  • It builds the JS bundles and puts them into the relevant directory so the extension can use them;
  • It runs integration tests to make sure everything is working as expected;
  • It packages the extension and publishes it to PyPI.

Below is a sequence diagram demonstrating the flow (you need to have github + mermaid chrome extension to view it):

sequenceDiagram
    Developer->>Git: Push tagged commit to master branch
