pip install -r requirements.txt

Build the local Docker images:

Setup

Run all the services:

sudo docker-compose up \
    --detach \
    --build \
    --renew-anon-volumes

Health Checks

Validate MongoDB is running:

sudo docker logs iguazu_nosql-server_1

You should expect to see the following:

[...]
[...] waiting for connections on port 27017
[...]

Validate Redis is up and running:

sudo docker logs iguazu_cache-server_1

You should expect to see the following:

[...]
[...] Running mode=standalone, port=6379.
[...]

Validate the web service is up and running:

sudo docker logs iguazu_web-server_1

You should expect to see the following:

[...]
[...] INFO success: uwsgi entered RUNNING state
[...]

Validate that the app is up and running.

curl -i -d '' -XPOST http://localhost:8080/check

You should expect to see the following:

{
    "health": "ok"
}

Validate that Celery is up and running:

sudo docker logs iguazu_worker-1_1 --follow --tail 30

You should expect to see the following:

[...]
[...] mingle: searching for neighbors
[...] mingle: all alone
[...] celery@b0d4e3fc35bb ready.
[...]

Development

You may perform changes to the Flask app and then run:

sudo docker restart iguazu_web-server_1 iguazu_worker-1_1

You may tail the web server logs using this command:

sudo docker logs iguazu_web-server_1 --follow --tail 100
sudo docker logs iguazu_web-worker_1 --follow --tail 100

Unit Tests

Execute this command to run Unit Tests:

export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:$(pwd)"
nosetests \
    --cover-min-percentage 20 \
    --logging-level=DEBUG \
    -a "unit_test=true" \
    --with-coverage \
    --cover-erase \
    --detailed-errors \
    --cover-package ./app \
    ./tests

You should expect something like this:

Regression Tests

1st test: Basic Health Check

Validate that the app is up and running.

curl -i -d '' -XPOST http://localhost:8080/check

Expect this response:

{
    "health": "ok"
}

In case of errors, you would get something like this:

{
    "code": 503,
    "subcode": 5002,
    "error": "App Not Healthy"
}
2nd test: Unauthorized Access

Send an unauthorized request:

curl -i -d '{
    "sender": 0, "recipient": 1,
    "content": {"type": "video", 
        "source": "youtube",
        "url", "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbZZy9yogg8"}}' \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -XPOST http://localhost:8080/messages

Expect this response:

{
  "msg": "Missing Authorization Header"
}
3nd test: Unauthorized Access

Send an unauthorized request:

curl -i -d '{
    "sender": 0, "recipient": 1,
    "content": {"type": "video",

    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer lorem-ipsum" \
    -XPOST http://localhost:8080/messages

Expect this response:

{

    "username": "daikiri",
    "password": "...',
    "token": "...",
    "refresh_token": "..."
}

You may then save the token to a variable this way:

TOKEN=$(curl -d '{"username": "daikiri", "password": "tekila"}' \ 
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -XPOST http://localhost:8080/login | jq -r '.token')

15th test: Messages pagination

List messages and record the last ID:

SEARCH=$(curl -d '{
        "sender_id": "'$USER1'",
        "recipient_id": "'$USER2'",
        "limit": 2
    }' \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -XGET http://localhost:8080/messages)
LAST_MESSAGE_ID=$(echo $SEARCH | jq -r '.messages[-1].id')
echo $SEARCH | jq -r '.messages[] | "\(.id) \(.timestamp)"'

Now recursively fetch more messages:

SEARCH=$(curl -d '{
        "sender_id": "'$USER1'",
        "recipient_id": "'$USER2'",
        "start": "'$LAST_MESSAGE_ID'",
        "limit": 2
    }' \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
    -XGET http://localhost:8080/messages)
LAST_MESSAGE_ID=$(echo $SEARCH | jq -r '.messages[-1].id')
echo $SEARCH | jq -r '.messages[] | "\(.id) \(.timestamp)"'

You should expect to see a reverse time series in your CLI:
