Puff is an open source smoke testing platform for students to collaboratively write and run tests on their assignment or project code for quick and easy sanity testing.
Spring-boot microservice managing courses, assignments and user actions for the puff platform. For the full overview of the puff project see the docs repository.
Clone the project with https://github.com/puffproject/course-management.git
You'll need Java to run Puff's microservices developed with Spring Boot.
- Download and install the Java JDK 8
- Set the
JAVA_HOME
environment variable - Verify your installation by running
java -version
Puff uses Maven as its build tool for its backend.
Keycloak is an open source Identity and Access Management solution aimed at modern applications and services. It makes it easy to secure applications and services with little to no code.
Puff uses keycloak as a user management and authentication solution. More information about Keycloak can be found on their offical docs page.
Follow the instructions found at https://github.com/puffproject/docs#setup-keycloak to setup a local keycloak server. This only needs to be configured once.
Once configured, generate an authentication token by making the following curl call replacing TEST_USER_USERNAME, TEST_USER_PASSWORD and USER_AUTH_CLIENT_SECRET with the credentials for the test accounts you created and the client-secret for user-auth.
curl -X POST 'http://localhost:8180/auth/realms/puff/protocol/openid-connect/token' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-urlencode 'grant_type=password' \
--data-urlencode 'client_id=user-auth' \
--data-urlencode 'client_secret=USER_AUTH_CLIENT_SECRET' \
--data-urlencode 'username=TEST_USER_USERNAME' \
--data-urlencode 'password=TEST_USER_PASSWORD'
In order to run a microservice locally run
mvn spring-boot:run -Dspring-boot.run.profiles=local
- If you need to build the
.jar
of the application runmvn package
. - In order to run tests run
mvn test
.
Puff's Spring-Boot backend exposes a REST API. The project utilizes Swagger to document and keep a consistent REST interface.
Once you have a microservice running (See run the backend) visit http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui.html. A json
api version to be consumed and used to generate client libraries can be accessed at http://localhost:8080/v2/api-docs. Select Authorize
and login with a test user account to try out any of the endpoints.
Puff's Spring-boot backend uses a H2 runtime database to simulate a database connection for local development. Once the project is running it can be accessed at http://localhost:8080/h2.
The credentials for the database are as follows:
Driver Class: org.h2.Driver
JDBC URL: jdbc:h2:mem:testdb
User Name: admin
Password:
For more information about H2 databases see the H2 Database Engine.
The codebase is auto-formatted with the formatter-maven-plugin that will format all source code files in the src/
and test/
directories according to the settings in the style.xml
file, which are based on eclipse profile settings.
Run the formatter:format
command to run the formatter. It is also bound to the format
goal that will run as part of the compile
phase.
You can also add the git hook in .hooks
to your local .git/hooks
folder to run the formatter on pre-commit.
