Developing for openIDL

openIDL is an open source project.  We will follow best practices for such projects.

Info
titleGeneral Guidelines

This page describes the practices for developing / contributing to openIDL

All commits should correspond to an issue in the GItHub repository.

All commits should mention the issue number at the beginning of the commit.  Use the format

#8 Updated the x to fix y

All pull/merge requests must reference the issue number.

Pull Requests

All pull requests must be reviewed by someone other than the developer.

All pull requests require DCO - this requires local machine pull signoff and push.  Follow directions in the pull request DCO details.

Tagging and Versioning

Use github releases to manage the iterations of the project in the different branches.

See https://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/releasing-projects-on-github/managing-releases-in-a-repository

Testing with Dependent Apps

identify all apps that are dependent and should be updated

for each we need to test them

pull the changed common component code

Helm

Here we discuss the DevOps for openIDL.

...

  1. Manage
  2. Develop / Build / Test
  3. Configure / Provision / Deploy

Manage

Managing the configuration in Git is one of the tenets of the architecture.

...

Updates to the configuration for a node in git trigger a workflow that can include a consent step for the node owner before configuration kicks off.

Develop / Build / Test

The Develop / Build / Test phase produces usable artifacts for the Deploy stage.

Developing for openIDL can be done locally.  You can create images and save them in your minikube docker or you can just run the particular component out of code.

Configure / Provision / Deploy

The Deploy stage assumes that the assets required (terraform, helm, container images) are all built and properly packaged.
