Workbench Archiving Service

Lomax

Lomax is the Workbench Archiving Service. It will handle bulk movement of GCS data into and out of archives, with an overall goal of saving users' money by taking advantage of cheaper storage classes for archives.

This service is named after the legendary music archiver Alan Lomax.

For Developers

Setup for Node and npm

This codebase requires npm and Node.js. Specifically, it wants Node.js version 8.15.0, or whatever minor/patch version Google documents at https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/concepts/nodejs-8-runtime. npm is included in the Node.js install so typically you do not have to install it separately.

If you already have a different version of Node on your system, think you might need different versions in the future, or you have a hard time finding the right version of Node to install, you might be interested in nvm. nvm is not required to work with Lomax, but it is highly recommended and very useful to install and manage multiple versions of Node.

To install third-party libraries, first cd function, then npm install. You will need to npm install any time package.json or package-lock.json changes. Conversely, if those files have not changed since your last install, you should not have to run npm install. You must npm install before linting or testing.

This is a minimal set of commands that may work for you:

brew install nvm
nvm install 8.15.0
cd function
npm install
npm test

git-secrets

• If you have not done so already run brew install git-secrets
• To ensure git secrets is run please copy or link the hooks directory to .git/hooks/ locally.

Linting

1. cd function - make sure you're in the right directory. The root of this repostory is NOT the right directory!
2. npm run lint - note you need the extra run command.

If you have linter errors, you can access the linter directly with npx eslint. For instance, to ask eslint to fix the errors it found, run npx eslint . --fix.

Testing

1. cd function - make sure you're in the right directory. The root of this repostory is NOT the right directory!
2. npm test

npm test will automatically lint the code before running tests, and will fail on linter exceptions. This happens via the pretest hook in package.json.
