Getting Started As a Developer

Install meteor

$ curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh

Configure your evironment variables

You will need to create a env.sh file in the /config directory of the project. This file defines configuration and security settings. An example env file has been provided. Copy this file to env.sh and fill in the values as needed.

Source your environment variables

$ source config/env.sh

Start your server

If running on port 3000

$ meteor

If running on a specific port

$ meteor --port <port>

Seed your database with sample data (optional)

Note: Seeding tickets is only necessary if you're working offline; otherwise data from the JIRA API feed will be used. Seeds for tickets and the release are added automatically by Meteor.

Install [MongoDB][]. [MongoDB]: http://www.mongodb.org/downloads

Copy the two ticket CSV files in the server/samples directory to the folder where you saved your MongoDB download.

From within the bin directory of the MongoDB package, run:

./mongoimport -h localhost:3001 --db meteor --collection tickets --type csv --file ../../non_bug_tickets.csv --fields component,id,type,title,priority,status,points
./mongoimport -h localhost:3001 --db meteor --collection tickets --type csv --file ../../bug_tickets.csv --fields component,id,type,title,priority,status,points

If you fail to connect to the database, check your running processes to see which port your Meteor DB is running on. Update localhost:3001 in the above command to reflect the appropriate port.

Deleting data

The following methods can be executed from the console:

  • Meteor.call('removeAllSettings')
  • Meteor.call('removeAllTickets') (if you've seeded your database with sample data)
  • Meteor.call('removeReleases')

Debugging server side code

As with other languages, your browser's developer tools can be used for debugging client-side code. For server-side debugging, you can use node-inspector.

Install node-inspector

$ npm install -g node-inspector

Start Meteor in debug mode

$ env NODE_OPTIONS='--debug' meteor

In a new terminal, start node-inspector

$ node-inspector

Go to the URL given to you by node-inspector. You'll see a screen that resembles Chrome's developer tools. Use this interface to insert breakpoints and do any other debugging.
