Hello Eric,
I think that's a great idea. You may be interested in checking out Björn's Galaxy Docker image https://github.com/bgruening/docker-recipes/tree/master/galaxy which is very similar to what you're describing. A few other testing frameworks, like Galaxy bootstrap https://github.com/jmchilton/galaxy-bootstrap, use there own caching mechanism too.

Currently the checkout options consist of hg clones, and archives that mercurial produces.
Having pulled or cloned galaxy a few times lately, I'm wondering if anyone would have a use for a once-run galaxy instance in an archive? I.e., I'd clone, run once to grab eggs and do the db migration, then re-tar result and store online. Might cut down on build/test times for those who are using travis or other CIs. Thoughts/opinions?

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
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,
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.
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).

There is no way to only trigger one branch build. Until that is fixed in the docker-index I will do it manually.

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! :)

Currently the checkout options consist of hg clones, and archives that mercurial produces.
Having pulled or cloned galaxy a few times lately, I'm wondering if anyone would have a use for a once-run galaxy instance in an archive? I.e., I'd clone, run once to grab eggs and do the db migration, then re-tar result and store online. Might cut down on build/test times for those who are using travis or other CIs. Thoughts/opinions?
Hi Eric,
Given how close you can get now for minimal effort, this seem unnecessary.

My TravisCI setup this fetches the latest Galaxy as a tar ball (from a GitHub mirror as it was faster than a git clone which was faster than getting the tar ball from BitBucket, which in turn was faster than using hg clone), and a per-migrated SQLite database (using a bit of Galaxy functionality originally with $GALAXY_TEST_DB_TEMPLATE added to speed up running the functional tests).
Note this does not cache the eggs and all the other side effects of the first run like creating config files, so there is room for some speed up.

Peter

I know I've seen that used but was never able to get that working in practice (then again I didn't try that hard). If that's a working/usable feature, then that is already the majority of setup time. Eggs would be nice but not the biggest thing in the world.

Yes, the creation of the test-database and all the migrations was an obvious low-hanging fruit when we were looking at making running the tool functional tests faster - although originally in the context of running the tests on a local development Galaxy instance.
As to using this in practise, currently my TravisCI setup has:
export GALAXY_TEST_DB_TEMPLATE=https://github.com/jmchilton/galaxy-downloads/raw/master/db_gx_rev_0117.sqli...
I also added that line at the start of my local copy of script run_functional_tests.sh to benefit from this while doing development. That should be all there is to it (but from memory, this is only for use with the SQLite backend).
John - could you add a current schema snapshot to https://github.com/jmchilton/galaxy-downloads/ please?

Right. I do like your idea of automatically generated cutting-edge or each stable release Docker images though (even if I have no personal need for them at the moment).

Hey All,
Love this thread and effort! Keep up the good work - would love to replace say blend4j's automatic travisci testing to be backed by dockerized -stable and -central instance.
At any rate, I have uploaded a more updated sqlite template: https://github.com/jmchilton/galaxy-downloads/raw/master/db_gx_rev_0120.sqli.... The old template still exists at the same URL so hopefully this doesn't break anything.

John,
How are those generated? Would you be amenable to scripting that portion and running it once a month? (...say in a cron job, with a passwordless ssh key so you never have to touch it again)

How to generate it was going to be my next question too ;)
I'm impressed with Eric's zeal to automate things. Having a script for making the SQLite template would be good - under git in the same repository?
Peter
P.S. The schema version 120 template works great, thanks!:
https://travis-ci.org/peterjc/pico_galaxy/builds/30592828 https://travis-ci.org/peterjc/galaxy_blast/builds/30592097
Problem with automation is I could create dozens of templates over the next several years and consume less time in aggregate than it would take me to automate this. Nonetheless, there is a documentation component here that is important so I did enough to document - if someone wants to automate from there feel free.
The template is just a copy of the sqlite database after a fresh Galaxy is launched. I usually just do this against whatever development instance of Galaxy I am working on. For completeness though I have put together a script to automate this task against a fresh install (I think):
https://github.com/jmchilton/galaxy-downloads/blob/master/build_sqlite_templ...
Good luck!

Perfect - documentation target achieved :)
In terms of speeding up things like TravisCI using these SQLite database templates, refreshing this every few schema bumps should be enough.
