sdc-sapi

SAPI is the Services API, one of the core services of Triton DataCenter ("Triton" for short). This API allows operators to specify, configure, deploy, and upgrade applications in Triton. Specifically, SAPI is used to hold the configuration data for the services and instances that make up Triton itself -- grouped under the "sdc" SAPI application. The "sdc" app name is historical: Triton DataCenter was initially known as SmartDataCenter (SDC). See the SAPI docs.

Note: This repository is part of the Joyent Triton project. See the contribution guidelines and general documentation at the main Triton project page.

Development

Typically, development of SAPI is done in COAL (a Triton-in-a-local-VMware-VM). It should be possible to run a SAPI server locally, but that's not well supported.

Quick dev cycle

Warning: "./tools/rsync-to" is not a fully faithful build.

  1. Get a COAL running, including optionally a "coal" alias in your "~/.ssh/config" file:

     Host coal
         User root
         Hostname 10.99.99.7
         StrictHostKeyChecking no
         UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
    
  2. Get a local clone of the repo:

     git clone git@github.com:joyent/sdc-sapi.git
     cd sdc-sapi
     make
    
  3. Make local edits to JS files, and sync those changes to your COAL:

     ./tools/rsync-to coal
    

    Warning: This method is not perfect. In particular, it allows for syncing changes from a different architecture and OS, so binary modules can not be handled. However, this can be handle for a quicker dev cycle to start.

Building SAPI images

The more "correct" dev cycle, at least for final testing, is to create a new SAPI image for your changes. This can be done by following the procedure for building Triton component images defined here. Or, for Joyent employees, you can use our Jenkins and the TRY_BRANCH build option:

  1. Push your change to a feature branch of https://github.com/TritonDataCenter/sdc-sapi

  2. Build the "sapi" Jenkins job with TRY_BRANCH=<your feature branch name>.

  3. After the image is built, run this in COAL to update your SAPI using the latest "sapi" image on the "experimental" channel of updates.joyent.com:

     sdcadm up -C experimental sapi
    

Commiting

Before pushing, ensure your changes pass:

make prepush

Also, directly pushes to "master" are not allowed. Changes must go through Joyent's Gerrit CR. See the note and link for contribution guidelines above.

Testing

In addition to the test suite (see below), any significant changes to SAPI should also run through both (a) creating a SAPI image and updating SAPI in COAL using that (see "Building SAPI images" above) and (b) creating and setting up a new COAL using that SAPI image. The latter is important because SAPI is an early core zone in Triton DataCenter headnode setup, with interactions that are only tested with headnode setup.

Testing headnode setup

If you created a TRY_BRANCH build of SAPI via Jenkins (see above), you can use that SAPI image in a new COAL via something like:

git clone git@github.com:joyent/sdc-headnode.git
cd sdc-headnode

Include something like the following in "sdc-headnode/build.spec.local":

{
    "build-tgz": "false",
    "zones": {
        "sapi": {
            "source": "manta",
            "branch": "<feature branch name>"
        }
    }
}

Then run:

make coal-and-open

If successful, that will create a COAL VMware VM using your custom SAPI image, start the VM, and setup the headnode successfully.

Test suite

Testing prerequisites:

  • Set the marker file that allows testing in a TritonDC:

      ssh coal
      touch /lib/sdc/.sdc-test-no-production-data
    
  • Ensure that dev sample data has been added to your COAL:

      sdcadm post-setup common-external-nics
      sdcadm post-setup dev-sample-data
    

To test, SSH to your test machine and run the "runtests" driver script:

ssh coal
sdc-login -l sapi
/opt/smartdc/sapi/tests/runtests

To run a single test (for example):

TEST_SAPI_PROTO_MODE=false ./node_modules/.bin/nodeunit \
    ./test/mode.test.js -t 'upgrade to full mode'

When running tests, the SAPI SMF service will be disabled so the server logs will be rewritten by nodeunit on a separate file located at:

/opt/smartdc/sapi/test/tests.log
