  • GPLv2 Licensed
• war - Configurations for Blazegraph and the service
  • GPLv2 Licensed
• tools - Tools for syncing a Wikibase instance with an SPARQL 1.1 compliant triple store
  • Apache Licensed
• common - Code shared between tools and blazegraph
  • Apache Licensed
• testTools - Helpers for testing
  • Apache Licensed
• dist - scripts for running the service

Logging

Mapped Diagnostic Context contains some information depending on the context:

• remote-query: a query sent to mediawiki
• a few request related context, see ch.qos.logback.classic.helpers.MDCInsertingServletFilter for details)

Development Notes

Eclipse

Works well with m2e.

Randomized Testing

Some tests use RandomizedRunner. If they fail you'll get a stack trace containing a "seed" that looks like this:

	at __randomizedtesting.SeedInfo.seed([A4D62887A701F9F1:1BF047C091E0A9C2]:0)

You can reuse that see by adding @Seed to the test class like this:

	@RunWith(RandomizedRunner.class)
	@Seed("A4D62887A701F9F1:1BF047C091E0A9C2")
	public class MungerUnitTest extends RandomizedTest {

Just remember to remove the @Seed annotation before committing the code.

We use RandomizedRunner because its a good way to cover a ton of testing ground with relatively little code. Its how Lucene consistently finds bugs in the JVM before they're hit in production.

Unit and Integration Testing

All tests either end in "UnitTest" or "IntegrationTest". "UnitTest"s are so named because they don't need any external services. "IntegrationTest"s either need to spin up some service like Blazegraph or they need an Internet connection to wikidata.org or test.wikidata.org.

Blazegraph

We use Blazegraph for testing SPARQL. You can start it from the command line by running

	cd tools && runBlazegraph.sh

It is started automatically during integration testing.

Maven

pom.xml files are sorted according to the usual code convention. The sortpom-maven-plugin is used to fail the build if this order is not respected. The pom.xml can be automatically sorted with:

mvn sortpom:sort

The application can be started by running the following command in the war submodule:

mvn -pl war jetty:run

The -pl war argument tells maven to run inside the war submodule, this is equivalent to running:

cd war && mvn jetty:run

The same target can be used directly from your IDE to run in debug mode and use all the nice IDE integration (automatic class reloading, ...). Check your IDE documentation for details.

Note: jetty:run will not automatically detect changes to other modules, but if you run mvn install in the root of the project, the changes should be compiled and jetty should auto reload the application.
