⁠Developing

⁠Setting up a development environment

Requirements:

• Some sort of shell environment
• A reasonably recent version of Docker (>= 17.06, ideally 17.12)
• docker-compose (= 1.18)
• Basic familiarity with Docker keywords: image, container (https://docs.docker.com/get-started/#docker-concepts⁠)

Setup:

1. Clone the repo
2. Navigate to the root of the working copy, where the README file is.
3. Copy default.env file to .env in root.
4. Uncomment the COMPOSE_FILE= line in .env to enable mounting of working copy code into the containers.
5. Build a Docker image containing our backend code: docker-compose build contract_observer
6. Create the database and migrate it to the latest schema: docker-compose run contract_observer alembic upgrade head
7. Run the backend systems: docker-compose up. You can shut everything down with Ctrl+C at any time.

Tips:

• There are multiple containers running our backend code: contract_observer, etherdelta_observer, websocket_server.
• Running docker-compose build <service-name> for any of the above builds the same image.
• docker-compose build contract_observer builds an image, copying the code and installing Python libraries in our dependencies. You have to rebuild any time the dependencies change; however, in development, code in the working copy is mounted into the container, so it's enough to restart the container (with docker-compose restart <service-name>) to apply changes for a given service.
• You can inspect the list of currently running containers with docker-compose ps.
