Sanity Check

The database is very large and we need to run verifications periodically. Instead of running a set of queries manually against a database, this batch runs it and sends the report to the WRT monthly.

Setup local database

You should an internal database for handling WCA data.

In case you do not have it installed yet, you will need to get MySQL.

• Install MySQL 8.0, and set it up with a user with username "root" with an empty password.

sudo mysql -u root
ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED WITH mysql_native_password BY '';

create database wca_development;

The database wca_development will be populated with WCA data. If you want to change password, username or others, make sure to also change on application-local.yml.

Before you run this

You need your copy of the database from WCA. If you already have it (with a user 'root' with no password), you can skip this.

Download the latest export and execute the sql (as stated in the last step). If you wish, you can execute the file get_db_export.sh in this folder.

chmod +x get_db_export.sh
./get_db_export.sh

It will ask you to run in sudo mode in order to execute the sql.

How to run it

• IDE: Most recent IDEs can run gradle, use its capabilities.

• Command line: ./gradlew bootRun

Tests

Tests use docker database to simulate the whole process.

• Start test database with migrations applied

docker-compose -f docker-compose-test.yml up -d --build

• Run tests

./gradlew test

Note: If you are running on Mac M1, maybe you will have issues starting docker. To try to fix it, you may add platform: linux/x86_64 to the service wca-test-db in the file docker-compose-test.yml.

Project details

This project uses Gradle as the build system. It was built using Spring Boot, an awesome framework also for building batches/jobs.

If you open the project in an IDE and the build seems to be failing (getters, setters, log...), you may need to install lombok.

Deploy to production

You'll need the AWS CLI.

• Build a jar ./gradlew build

• Build a docker image docker build -t thewca/db-sanity-check .

• Push the image docker push thewca/db-sanity-check

• Replace the environment variables in the cloudformation.yaml, run in the aws folder

aws cloudformation deploy --template-file cloudformation.yaml --stack-name sanity-check --capabilities CAPABILITY_IAM
