[updated] JsUnit and Firefox mysterious timeout

Here is the thing. I was trying to get my JsUnit Tests to work using Firefox 3.x and it wont work no matter what.

[UPDATE] (Thank you Kevin, see comments)
Before you start using JsUnit you NEED to keep in mind that ALL inputs must be FULL qualified and not just relative paths.
[UPDATE]

I kept on getting timeout from the Runner. I use the runner locally rather than letting it be o server mode or even on my Apache config. So here is my test environment:

1. Software:
1.1. Firefox 3.6.2 (but the same happens on 3.x)
1.2. JsUnit 2.2
1.3. OS: Fedora 12

2. Run the JsUnit TestRunner locally, like: file:///var/local/jsunit/testRunner.html
3. Inform a local html test page, like: file:///home/gustavo/projects/jsunit-tsts/failingTest.html (which is a copy of $JSUNIT_HOME/tests/failingTest.html, setting the path to jsUnitCore.js correctly)
4. Hit Run

Then I got:

Reading Test Page file:///home/gustavo/projects/jsunit-tsts/failingTest.html timed out.
Make sure that the file exists and is a Test Page.

It does not make any sense, since running the same test from JsUnit it works: file:///var/local/jsunit/tests/failingTest.html

So I Google it and found this page: http://siliconforks.com/jscoverage/faq.html (oddly enough).

The answer is: Firefox has a very strict policy about accessing local files, thus preventing JsUnit TestRunner to run my tests.

Solution:

1. Go to your configuration page: about:config
2. Search for: security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy
3. And set it to FALSE

NOTE: This presents a security problem, so do yourself a favour and get another Firefox profile to run your tests and not to browse.

Now the tricky part: I like organizing and this means that I want to use Test Suites and modularize my tests. But the documentation does not tell you a very dirty story about that: You need full path when running tests like I do (local file URLs) and thus the relative paths do not work properly. Lets go to the example:

The test suite page snippet:

<script type="text/javascript">

function suite() {

var result = new top.jsUnitTestSuite();
var currentURL = location.href;

<!-- extract the current URL path -->
currentURL = currentURL.substr(0, currentURL.lastIndexOf("/", currentURL.length));

<!-- prepend each test page relative URL with the current URL path -->
result.addTestPage(currentURL + "/html_tst/my_tests.html");

return result;
}
</script>

The tree structure:


SOME WHERE IN YOUR DISK:
testSuite.html
html_tst/my_tests.html


If you do not fully qualify the test page path (the currentURL part) you get a time-out when trying to load the test suite with the sub-pages.

Have fun!

Installing Atlassian FishEye and Crucible

Here I will explain how to install another Atlassian tool, the Fisheye (v2.2.1) (see the previous post for more about JIRA and Confluence). This documentation is based on the original guide, which I recommend you to read:


http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/FISHEYE/FishEye+Installation+Guide

1. First you need to download it. You can go to the download page: http://www.atlassian.com/software/fisheye/FishEyeDownloadCenter.jspa or get it with:

#---
wget http://www.atlassian.com/software/fisheye/downloads/binary/fisheye-2.2.1.zip
#---

I will assume that you already done the first steps from the JIRA and Confluence installation guide (MySQL + Tomcat) and that you have a running SVN server (see installation here). It is also assumed that you already enrolled a license for FishEye and Crucible. Have it handy.

2. To install FishEye you need to decompress the archive file:
#---
unzip fisheye-2.2.1.zip -d /usr/local/
#---

3. You need to create the database for FishEye and Crucible (I assume that the daemon is running):
#---
mysql -u root -p
#---

4. At the MySQL shell:
#---
CREATE DATABASE fisheyedb CHARACTER SET utf8;
GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP,ALTER,INDEX,LOCK TABLES ON fisheyedb.* TO 'fisheyeuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
\q
#---

5. Check if you can access the databases:
#---
mysql \--user=fisheyeuser \--password= \--database=fisheyedb
#---

6. Then prepare for running:
#---
export FISHEYE_HOME="/usr/local/fecru-2.2.1/"
mkdir -p /var/local/atlassian/fisheye
export FISHEYE_INST="/var/local/atlassian/fisheye"
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/default/"
export JRE_HOME="/usr/java/default/jre/"
cp $FISHEYE_HOME/config.xml $FISHEYE_INST/
cd $FISHEYE_HOME/bin
./run.sh
#---

6.1. Wait until the server is up an than go to: http://localhost:8060/

7. Go directly to the Database Configuration and provide the following fields with the following data:

Type: MySQL
URL: jdbc:mysql://localhost/fisheyedb
User Name: fisheyeuser
Password: <plain text pass for fisheyeuser>

Hit "Test Connection" and than "Save & Migrate"

8. Go to Users and add a user putting it as administrator (in Administrators)

9. Add a user to your JIRA Server, if you have one: http://localhost:8080/jira

10. Set JIRA to accept API remote calls:
Administration -> General Configuration -> Accept remote API calls (must be ON)

11. Then return to FishEye and configure your JIRA server with the corresponding user. (You have to have at least one project).

12. Add a user in SVN by editing the files (for the very crude installation): [/var/svn/<repository>/conf/passwd]

13. Then return to FishEye and configure your SVN repository: svn://localhost/var/svn/<project>

P.S.: You may need to add an additional rule to your IPtables in the file [/etc/sysconfig/iptables]:

...
# Tomcat (FishEye)
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8060 -j ACCEPT
...

#---
service iptables restart
#---

Jira and Confluence - Backup

This is a follow-up from my previous post about how to install and configure Jira and Confluence.

Backing everything up:

Create the backup directory:
#---
mkdir -p /var/local/atlassian-bkp/
chmod 750 /var/local/atlassian-bkp/
#---

Create the backup script:
#---

#---

NOTE: DO edit the resulting file: /var/local/atlassian-bkp/atlassian_bkp.sh to put the correct passwords for the database users.

It will store all backups at /var/local/atlassian-bkp/ and a typical backup will have a file list as follows:

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 3112 2010-03-17 19:32 atlassian_bkp.sh
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 796 2010-03-17 19:32 bkp-20100317-223145.log
-r--------. 1 root root 181902319 2010-03-17 19:32 confluence-20100317-223145.tgz
-r--------. 1 root root 8572 2010-03-17 19:31 confluencedb-20100317-223145.gz
-r--------. 1 root root 79531583 2010-03-17 19:31 jira-20100317-223145.tgz
-r--------. 1 root root 15302 2010-03-17 19:31 jiradb-20100317-223145.gz

Test the script:
#---
sh -x /var/local/atlassian-bkp/atlassian_bkp.sh
#---

Put the script in the crontab (daily):
#---
ln /var/local/atlassian-bkp/atlassian_bkp.sh /etc/cron.daily/atlassian
#---

Notice that it is a HARD link to the cron.daily, so that when you edit the original file it also reflects a change at the crontab.

BUT to remove the file completely you MUST remove from BOTH locations:
#---
rm -f /var/local/atlassian-bkp/atlassian_bkp.sh
rm -f /etc/cron.daily/atlassian
#---

Checkout if the starting time is okay for you (the standard is 03:00):
#---
cat /etc/anacrontab
#---

[UPDATE] Jira and Confluence

I will not explain what are Jira (v4.0.2) and Confluence (v3.1.2) (read at their corresponding description) but how to put both of them to run in a Fedora box using MySQL and Tomcat v5.5 (just one).

This procedure is based on the original documentation (given below) and when in doubt please DO read the originals.

Jira: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Installing+JIRA+on+Tomcat+5.5
Confluence: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Installing+Confluence+EAR-WAR+on+Tomcat


NOTE: Before you start installing please do get it handy both licenses. I will also assume that you already downloaded both programs in the WAR/EAR form. This is *VERY* important because you do *NOT* want the standalone versions. The links are provided here: Jira v4.0.2 and Confluence v3.1.2.

Or:
#---
wget http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/downloads/binary/atlassian-jira-enterprise-4.0.2.tar.gz
wget http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/downloads/binary/confluence-3.1.2.tar.gz
#---

1. Install the necessary software:
#---
yum -y install \
mysql \
mysql-server \
mysql-connector-java \
javamail \
tomcat5
#---

2. Install Sun's JDK:
JDK: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/widget/jdk6.jsp

Get the some additional libs from Atlassian:
#---
wget http://confluence.atlassian.com/download/attachments/200709089/jira-jars-tomcat5.zip
#---

3. Put the necessary libs in the Tomcat lib dir:
#---
unzip jira-jars-tomcat5.zip -d /tmp/
mv /tmp/jira-jars-tomcat5/*.jar /var/lib/tomcat5/common/lib/
rm -rf /tmp/jira-jars-tomcat5/
unzip jaf-1_1_1.zip -d /tmp/
mv /tmp/jaf-1.1.1/activation.jar /var/lib/tomcat5/common/lib/
rm -rf /tmp/jaf-1.1.1/
ln -s /usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java-5.1.12.jar /var/lib/tomcat5/common/lib
ln -s /usr/share/java/javamail/mail-1.4.3.jar /var/lib/tomcat5/common/lib
ln -s /usr/share/java/javamail/dsn-1.4.3.jar /var/lib/tomcat5/common/lib
#---

4. Create a build directory for Jira and Confluence:
#---
mkdir -p /usr/local/atlassian/
tar -vxzf atlassian-jira-enterprise-4.0.2.tar.gz -C /usr/local/atlassian/
tar -vxzf confluence-3.1.2.tar.gz -C /usr/local/atlassian/
#---

5. Create the home directory for Jira and Confluence:
#---
mkdir -p /var/local/atlassian/jira/
mkdir -p /var/local/atlassian/confluence/
#---

6. Forces Tomcat to use Sun's JRE by editing [/etc/tomcat5/tomcat5.conf] and setting the following variables:

JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/default/"
JRE_HOME="/usr/java/default/jre/"

Also add the following statements (do NOT remove the already existing ones, just ADD):

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dorg.apache.jasper.runtime.BodyContentImpl.LIMIT_BUFFER=true -Dmail.mime.decodeparameters=true -Xms128m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"

7. Prepare the MySQL:

You need to create the databases for Jira and Confluence:
#---
mysql -u root -p
#---

[UPDATE]At the MySQL shell:
#---
CREATE DATABASE jiradb CHARACTER SET utf8;
CREATE DATABASE confluencedb CHARACTER SET utf8;
GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP,ALTER,INDEX,LOCK TABLES ON jiradb.* TO 'jirauser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<plain text pass for jirauser>';
GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP,ALTER,INDEX,LOCK TABLES ON confluencedb.* TO 'confluenceuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<plain text pass for confluenceuser>';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
\q
#---

Check if you can access the databases:
#---
mysql \--user=jirauser \--password=<plain text pass for jirauser> \--database=jiradb
#---

#---
mysql \--user=confluenceuser \--password=<plain text pass for confluenceuser> \--database=confluencedb
#---

8. Install Jira:

8.1. Set Jira to use MySQL in the file [/usr/local/atlassian/atlassian-jira-enterprise-4.0.2/edit-webapp/WEB-INF/classes/entityengine.xml]

Change from:
<datasource name="defaultDS" field-type-name="hsql"
schema-name="PUBLIC"

to:
<datasource name="defaultDS" field-type-name="mysql"

8.2. Set Jira home dir in the file: [/usr/local/atlassian/atlassian-jira-enterprise-4.0.2/edit-webapp/WEB-INF/classes/jira-application.properties]

It looks like this:
jira.home = /var/local/atlassian/jira/

8.3. Compile Jira:
#---
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/default/"
cd /usr/local/atlassian/atlassian-jira-enterprise-4.0.2/
rm -f /usr/local/atlassian/atlassian-jira-enterprise-4.0.2/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/{activation-1.1.1.jar,mail-1.4.1.jar}
sh ./build.sh
rm -f /var/local/atlassian/jira/atlassian-jira-4.0.2.war
cp /usr/local/atlassian/atlassian-jira-enterprise-4.0.2/dist-tomcat/atlassian-jira-4.0.2.war /var/local/atlassian/jira/
cp /usr/local/atlassian/atlassian-jira-enterprise-4.0.2/dist-tomcat/tomcat-5.5/jira.xml /etc/tomcat5/Catalina/localhost/
chown -R tomcat:tomcat /var/local/atlassian/jira/
chmod 755 /var/local/atlassian/jira/
chmod -R ug+rw /var/local/atlassian/jira/
chmod -R o+r /var/local/atlassian/jira/
chmod -R o-w /var/local/atlassian/jira/
#---

8.4. Setup the Jira application to use MySQL in file [/etc/tomcat5/Catalina/localhost/jira.xml]

The resource section must look like this:
<Context path="/jira" docBase="/var/local/atlassian/jira/atlassian-jira-4.0.2.war" debug="0">
...
<Resource name="jdbc/JiraDS" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
username="jirauser"
password="<plain text pass for jirauser>"
driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/jiradb?autoReconnect=true&amp;sessionVariables=storage_engine=InnoDB&amp;useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=UTF8"/>

If a complementary build is necessary try this shorter form:
#---
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/default/"
cd /usr/local/atlassian/atlassian-jira-enterprise-4.0.2/
rm -f /usr/local/atlassian/atlassian-jira-enterprise-4.0.2/webapp/WEB-INF/lib/{activation-1.1.1.jar,mail-1.4.1.jar}
sh ./build.sh
rm -f /var/local/atlassian/jira/atlassian-jira-4.0.2.war
cp /usr/local/atlassian/atlassian-jira-enterprise-4.0.2/dist-tomcat/atlassian-jira-4.0.2.war /var/local/atlassian/jira/
chown tomcat:tomcat /var/local/atlassian/jira/atlassian-jira-4.0.2.war
#---


8.5. Checking it out if Jira is working:
#---
service mysqld restart
service tomcat5 restart
#---

Go to: http://localhost:8080/jira/

9. Install Confluence:

9.1. Set Confluence home dir in the file: [/usr/local/atlassian/confluence-3.1.2/confluence/WEB-INF/classes/confluence-init.properties]

It looks like this:
confluence.home = /var/local/atlassian/confluence

9.2. Compile Confluence:
#---
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/default/"
cd /usr/local/atlassian/confluence-3.1.2/
rm -f /usr/local/atlassian/confluence-3.1.2/confluence/WEB-INF/lib/{activation-1.0.2.jar,mail-1.4.1.jar}
sh ./build.sh
rm -f /var/local/atlassian/confluence/confluence-3.1.2.war
cp /usr/local/atlassian/confluence-3.1.2/dist/confluence-3.1.2.war /var/local/atlassian/confluence/
cat > /etc/tomcat5/Catalina/localhost/confluence.xml << __END__
<Context path="/confluence" docBase="/var/local/atlassian/confluence/confluence-3.1.2.war" debug="0" reloadable="true">
</Context>
__END__
chown -R tomcat:tomcat /var/local/atlassian/confluence/
chmod 755 /var/local/atlassian/confluence/
chmod -R ug+rw /var/local/atlassian/confluence/
chmod -R o+r /var/local/atlassian/confluence/
chmod -R o-w /var/local/atlassian/confluence/
#---

Shorter version for recompile:
#---
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/default/"
cd /usr/local/atlassian/confluence-3.1.2/
rm -f /usr/local/atlassian/confluence-3.1.2/confluence/WEB-INF/lib/{activation-1.0.2.jar,mail-1.4.1.jar}
sh ./build.sh
rm -f /var/local/atlassian/confluence/confluence-3.1.2.war
cp /usr/local/atlassian/confluence-3.1.2/dist/confluence-3.1.2.war /var/local/atlassian/confluence/
chown tomcat:tomcat /var/local/atlassian/confluence/confluence-3.1.2.war
#---

9.3. Checking it out if Confluence is working:
#---
service mysqld restart
service tomcat5 restart
#---

Go to: http://localhost:8080/confluence/

Setting up Confluence (at http://localhost:8080/confluence/)

9.4. Enter the key and go to Custom Installation

9.5. At External Database choose MySQL and click at External Database >>

At Configure Database choose Direct JDBC >>

9.6. For the Database configuration fill with the following:

Driver Class Name: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
Database URL: jdbc:mysql://localhost/confluencedb?autoReconnect=true&amp;sessionVariables=storage_engine=InnoDB&amp;useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=UTF8
User Name: confluenceuser
Password: <plain text pass for confluenceuser>


The rest is straight forward.

P.S.: You may want to change your MySQL maximum allowed packet size to allow plugin installation (which normally requires more than the default 1Mb size). Edit the file [/etc/my.cnf] and put the following line (or change it) to:
...
[mysqld]
...
max_allowed_packet = 16M

Important logs for trouble shooting:
System: /var/log/messages
Tomcat: /var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out
MySQL: /var/log/mysqld.log
Jira: /var/log/tomcat5/catalina.out (all gets thrown at the Tomcat log)
Confluence: /var/local/atlassian/confluence/logs/atlassian-confluence.log
Jira database config: /etc/tomcat5/Catalina/localhost/jira.xml
Confluence database config: /var/local/atlassian/confluence/confluence.cfg.xml

Some Fedora 12 issues

There are some issues with Fedora 12 and some workarounds:

- Eclipse:
-- Problem:
Some buttons, specially OK and Finish, are not responding to the mouse click. You need to focus the button (mouse over it, for instance) and then press ENTER.

-- Solution (first attempt):
You need to override an environment variable and then execute eclipse:

#---
GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true eclipse
#---

-- Solution (for desktop laucher):

Create the following script and add it as the launcher command:

#---
cat > ~/bin/eclipse.sh << __END__
GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=true eclipse
__END__
chmod 755 ~/bin/eclipse.sh
#---

--- NVIDA
#---
yum -y install \

-- Note about the driver:
It messes the font resolution up (IMHO). So to keep the same aspect between the normal driver and the NVIDIA driver you need to edit the file: [/etc/X11/xorg.conf] and add the following line in the section Device:

Option "DPI" "90 x 90"

My section device looks like this:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
Option "DPI" "90 x 90"
EndSection
