Build Status

Windows	Linux / macOS

For more information about the application and how to use it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/service-fabric-visualizing-your-cluster

Preparing the development machine

To develop Service Fabric Explorer, the following components are required.

• Git: https://git-scm.com/
• Node.js (use LTS version): https://nodejs.org/

The recommended IDE for Service Fabric Explorer development is VSCode because VSCode is a cross-platform editor, which supports Windows, Linux and macOS. But you can use whatever editor to develop.

Here's a list of common IDE used.

• VSCode: https://code.visualstudio.com/
• Visual Studio: https://www.visualstudio.com/

Set up the development environment

1. Clone the master branch. git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Microsoft/service-fabric-explorer.git <path to the local folder>

2. Install project dependencies: This can be done inside VSCode or use a console window.

   1. [SFX] install the following CLI for the angular project

   npm install -g @angular/cli
   

   1. [SFX] Navigate to src/SfxWeb and run the following scripts.

   npm install   
   

   1. [SFX Proxy] Navigate to src/Sfx-Proxy and run the following scripts.

   npm install   
   

3. Build projects

   • VSCode
     1. Open src/SfxWeb and src/Sfx-Proxy in VSCode with multiple-root workspce.
   • Console
     1. [SFX] Navigate to src/SfxWeb and run the following scripts. For a develop/quick build

     npm run build
     

     For a production build

     npm run build:prod
     

Develop Locally and Run Local Proxy

Navigate to src/SfxWeb

npm start

Navigate to src/Sfx-Proxy

npm start

There are 2 optional flags -r which would record every request to a folder(by default called playbackRecordings) and overwriting if the same request is made again -p every request will be checked for a saved response and if one exists get served instead

npm start -- r p

If proxying requests to a secure cluster adding a file called localsettings.json to src/Sfx-Proxy can take a cert pfx location like below.

{
  "TargetCluster": {
    "Url": "https://test.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com:19080",
    "PFXLocation": "C:/some_cert.pfx",
    "PFXPassPhrase": "password"
  },
  "recordFileBase": "playbackRecordings/"
}

Testing

Run unit tests

Navigate to src/SfxWeb folder and run

npm test

Run E2E tests

Navigate to src/SfxWeb folder and run

npm run cypress:local

This assumes that the angular local dev server is running

Generate test coverage report

(see the following for reference https://lukas-klement.medium.com/implementing-code-coverage-with-angular-and-cypress-6ed08ed7e617)

Run a full E2E suite above and this will generate a code coverage report. Navigate to src/SfxWeb folder and run

npm run test:coverage

Then you can also view a full report at

sfxWeb/coverage/lcov-report/index.html

CI overview

The CI will run the following

• production build
• unit tests
• E2E tests
