Workflow for a release

Workflow for a release

1. Test your code on the dev server, commit the code to be released to the 'dev' branch.
2. Copy the 'live' database to 'staging' database.
3. On the staging server (ubuntu-vm-3):

• Checkout 'dev': git checkout dev
• Pull the code: git pull origin dev
• Migrate: laravel/artisan migrate
• If required: Update the SOFA Toolbox: git -C ~/lib/SOFAtoolbox/ pull.
• Test the website. If problems repeat from step #1. Iterate until happy.
• Ultimate tests:
  • Bulk upload on https://sonicom-staging.amtoolbox.org/databases/28 as Admin
  • Bulk upload on https://sonicom-staging.amtoolbox.org/databases/28 as "Piotr NOT Admin"
  • Wait until https://sonicom-staging.amtoolbox.org/databases/28/datathek? shows an empty Jobs table
  • Check if https://sonicom-staging.amtoolbox.org/databases/28/datathek? shows an empty Service Logs table

4. On your computer:

• Checkout 'live' branch (git checkout live), merge from 'dev' to 'live' (git merge dev).
• In 'live' branch, tag that commit with 'vX.Y.Z' where X, Y, Z are the major, minor, and patch numbers, respectively (git tag vX.Y.Z).
• Push code and tags.
• Checkout 'dev' branch (git checkout dev) and merge from 'live' to 'dev' (git merge live).

7. On the staging server:

• reset hard (git reset --hard)
• switch to live (git checkout live)
• pull the code, fetch all tags and checkout that tag: git pull origin live && git fetch --tags && git checkout vX.Y.Z
• Sanity check of the website on the staging server: https://sonicom-staging.amtoolbox.org/about: correct version?

9. On the live server (ubuntu-vm-2):

• Prepare git: git pull origin live && git fetch --tags
• Checkout that release: git checkout vX.Y.Z
• If required, update the SOFA Toolbox: git -C ~/lib/SOFAtoolbox/ pull.
• Check the live server if alive and working:
  • https://ecosystem.sonicom.eu/about: correct version?
  • Bulk upload on https://ecosystem.sonicom.eu/databases/28 as "Piotr NOT Admin".
  • Wait until https://ecosystem.sonicom.eu/databases/28/datathek? shows an empty Jobs table
  • Check if https://ecosystem.sonicom.eu/databases/28/datathek? shows an empty Service Logs table

Done!
