Hello Eric,
That sounds like a pretty good idea. If there was a pre-built image available for whatever release I wanted to test against I could just
cache
it and (hopefully) get my tests running a bit faster. I'm not sure
if
anyone else is already doing this?
Also, I remember there being mentioned pre-building docker images for
each
release of Galaxy, which would accomplish something similar, but I'm
not
really sure how that's being handled. I think Björn's Docker image
is kept
up to date with Galaxy stable each time it's built
https://github.com/bgruening/docker-recipes/blob/master/galaxy/Dockerfile#L5....
So, this could be handled by modifying his Dockerfile to build Galaxy
at
whatever tagged release you want to test against.
I will try hard to create with every Galaxy stable release a new Galaxy
docker image. You can create a github branch with a specific tag, that will end up as a new tagged version of the main Galaxy Docker image.
Try hard to create? No no, what can we do to automatically create these? I'm not so familiar with how one might build a galaxy release specific docker image, but if you can provide a generalized process, let's stick it in a CI server/cron job somewhere and never worry about it again!
One downside to docker is that you need to get it installed on your
CI
server, which may or may not be possible (needs a very recent kernel
for
example).
So true. SL7 for the win! :)
Docker, Docker, Docker! Bjoern

Hi Aaron,
Yeah, absolutely understandable. I want my tools tested early and
often.
I abuse my CI server for everything, especially for building and packaging software. In this case I was imagining that I might have
it
produce an archive on every tagged release, as well as producing a "daily" archive. All of these would be available on some ftp/http
server
somewhere with symlinks for latest archives (e.g. galaxy-latest-release.tgz and galaxy-latest-daily.tgz). Would that
work
for your use case as well?

Hello Eric,
Your right about that, downloading the archive, installing all the
eggs,
and then updating the database takes a bit of time (especially if
you're
like me and like re-running tests on nearly every change you make
:P).
I think it would be cool to have a pre-package Galaxy for
integration
testing which is quick to setup. I once thought of downloading
Björn's
Docker image from Galaxy Bootstrap and using it that way, but
thinking
is about as far as I got with that one. One problem I could see is
it
would have to be re-built on every release of Galaxy you want to
test
against (whereas mercurial cloning/pulling makes sure you're always
up
to date with the latest code).

Hi Aaron, Good points, I was considering using galaxy bootstrap. This is mostly for the CI folk who want to download an archive, unpack
it,
and be ready to install/test their tools. The hg clone and
egg/db
steps seem like unnecessary overhead for this specific use
case.
Cheers, Eric
