Wikibase Query Service GUI

This repository contains the GUI for the Wikidata Query Service.

Please see more details about the service in the User Manual.

Download & setup

Clone git repo, go into created folder and then pull all dependencies via npm package manager.

$ git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/wikidata/query/gui
$ cd gui
$ npm install

Alternatively, use npm install.

npm install wikidata-query-gui

Configuration

Per default the Wikibase Query Service GUI is configured to be used as a local development test instance. It can be customized by creating a custom-config.json in the repository's root dir. This file can be used to override any of the default settings obtained from default-config.json.

Run tests

Run JSHint, JSCS and QUnit tests.

$ npm test

Debug

Start a test server for local debugging. Do not use it in production.

$ npm start

Build

Create a build with bundled and minified files.

$ npm run build

Deploy

To deploy the GUI, trigger a new build of the deploy repo on Jenkins.

This creates a new open change in the deploy repository: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/q/project:wikidata/query/gui-deploy+status:open That change will be based on the latest commit in the master branch, and thus it will include all previous commits. Optionally, you can edit the commit message in the Gerrit UI to include the Bug: Txxxxx line, to emphasize to which task the change belongs.

You can clone that repository and check out the change locally to test and verify it.

As that repository does not have any CI, you need to manually merge the change. That means, giving +2 to both the Code Review as well as the Verified label, and then clicking the "Submit" button.

The site will be deployed with the next puppet run, which should happen after at most 30 minutes.
