Lobster
Quick Start
git clone https://github.com/evergreen-ci/lobster.git
cd lobster
npm install
npm build
node server --logs ./path/to/local/logs
You can now view lobster by going tohttp://localhost:9000/lobster?server=localhost:9000/api/log
.
Type node server --help
for additional options, including the option to bind
to 0.0.0.0
What is Lobster
Lobster is a log viewer implemented as a React-based frontend. As such its an easy to extend system. It also includes a node based dummy backend to load files from the provided URI and optionally cache them locally.
Lobster can:
- apply a regexp filter to the log lines returned by the backend (e.g.
primary|secondary
will show only lines that has primary or secondary etc.) - cache the recently accessed files locally to imporve load time. It can be set with the --cache
server command line argument (e.g.
node server --cache=/tmp/lobster
) - once it's supported by the mongod and mongos binaries it will link the log lines of the evergreen
log viewer raw output to the corresponding lines of code that printed them (those line are
hightlighted). This feature is available in a demo-mode with the POC evergreen build:
You can put
https://logkeeper.mongodb.org/build/db6fa7c6a6d5fae2c959dd0996b71ead/test/59811f87c2ab68415701df6d?raw=1
in the Log field and click on the navy colored lines to get to the corresponding github line.
Running locally
git clone https://github.com/evergreen-ci/lobster.git
cd lobster
npm install
npm run build
node server
- You can now view lobster by going to
http://localhost:9000/lobster?server=localhost:9000/api/log
.
The root directory for the local server is build./build
, so you can place local log files in this directory to allow them to be resolved by the local server.
Dev Guide
Structure
- ./src/actions: Redux actions, including their typedefs
- ./src/api: functions for interacting with APIs
- ./src/components: React components
- ./src/models: typedefs for various structures that are not actions
- ./src/reducers: Redux action processors aka. reducers
- ./src/selectors: Redux selectors (functions to compute derived state, or simply get state from the store)
- ./src/sagas: redux sagas (asynchronous code like API fetches)
- ./src/thirdparty: directory for vendoring 3rd party code that requires an ES6 compatible minifier (which create-react-app doesn't support)
Running locally
For development use, after running npm install
, simply run npm start
. This
will automatically recompile your code and refresh the browser
Building
npm build
will place build artifacts inside the build
directory
Testing
The testing framework is Jest, with Enzyme.
To run in local development:
npm test
This will watch the lobster development directory for changes, and automatically retest your code
The end-to-end tests can be run with npm run-scripts test:e2e
.
chromedriver
must be your system's path, and it must be able to start Chrome.
You can also run these tests with Firefox with npm run-scripts test:e2e -- --browser firefox
,
but geckodriver
must be in your path.
Flow
Flow is Facebook's static typing system for Javascript. You can run this
with npm run-scripts flow
.
Linting
npm run-scripts lint
to run the linter; npm run-scripts lint:fix
will fix automatically fixable lints
