Building openBIS

Step By Step:

git clone https://sissource.ethz.ch/sispub/openbis.git
cd app-openbis-installer/
./gradlew clean
./gradlew build -x test "-Dorg.gradle.jvmargs=--add-opens=java.base/java.text=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/java.awt.font=ALL-UNNAMED"

Where the build is found?

./app-openbis-installer/targets/gradle/distributions/openBIS-installation-standard-technologies-SNAPSHOT-rXXXXXXXXXX.tar.gz

Why we disable tests to make the build?

They increase the time to obtain a build plus some tests could have additional environment requirements.

Why the core UI made using GWT is not build anymore?

The core UI is deprecated for removal on next mayor release and requires JDK8.

For now it can be build following the next commands and only with JDK8:

git clone https://sissource.ethz.ch/sispub/openbis.git
cd core-plugin-openbis/
./gradlew clean
./gradlew buildCoreUIPackageUsingJDK8 -x test

How to compile the V3 JS bundle used by the new Admin UI in production?

git clone https://sissource.ethz.ch/sispub/openbis.git
cd core-plugin-openbis/
./gradlew clean
./gradlew bundleOpenbisStaticResources -x test

The output can be found at: server-application-server/source/java/ch/systemsx/cisd/openbis/public/resources/api/v3

Development of openBIS

Requirements

• IntelliJ IDEA CE

Step By Step:

File -> New -> Project From Existing Sources
Select the build folder to load the gradle model
After the model is loaded execute the tasks:

openBISDevelopementEnvironmentASPrepare
openBISDevelopementEnvironmentASStart
openBISDevelopementEnvironmentDSSStart

Typical Errors

IntelliJ can't find package com.sun.*, but I can compile the project using the command line!

Turn off "File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Compiler | Java Compiler | Use --release option for cross-compilation".

IntelliJ can't find a particular method:

Code compatiblity 1.8 is set by default to work well with our javadoc tools but it can be set to 17 on IntelliJ. See image below.

Test seem to run through Gradle and fail:

They need to be set to run using IntelliJ.

Test seem to run through intelliJ but throw a package not open error:

The project does not uses modules yet. Add '--add-opens' statements manually when launching the tests as shown below.

Development of NG UI

1. Generate openBIS JS bundle by running in command line
   1. cd /<OPENBIS_PROJECT_ROOT>/core-plugin-openbis
   2. ./gradlew :bundleOpenbisStaticResources
2. Start openBIS in your chosen IDE (NG UI assumes it will run at: http://localhost:8888/openbis-test/):
   1. run openBISDevelopementEnvironmentASPrepare gradle task
   2. run openBISDevelopementEnvironmentASStart gradle task
3. In command line do:
   1. cd /<OPENBIS_PROJECT_ROOT>/ui-admin
   2. npm install
   3. npm run dev
4. Open in your chosen browser a url, by default: http://localhost:8124/ng-ui-path

Setting up IntelliJ Idea

1. Under "IntelliJ IDEA" -> "Preferences" -> "Languages and Frameworks" -> Javascript, set the language version to ECMAScript 6.
