Fast way to rebuild the GUI?
Hi,
When you change a JavaScript file for the GUI, is there a fast way to
update the management server with this file short of having to rebuild the
entire codebase?
Thanks!

Hi Mike,
copying the changed files to generated-webapp and restarting jetty worked
for me.
In our jetty config, we set the scan interval to 0 and hence it never scans
for files changes.
Also, our jetty version is too old 6.1.26 while the latest is 9.2.*
from the [docs]
"As of Jetty 6.2.0pre0 a new feature to control webapp redeployment will be
available. The configuration parameter is:
<reload>[manual|automatic]</reload> When set to manual, no automatic
scanning and redeployment of the webapp is done. Rather, the user can
control when the webapp is reloaded by tapping the carriage return key. Set
to automatic the scanning and automatic redeployment is performed at
intervals controlled by the scanIntervalSeconds parameter. The choice of
reloading paradigm can also be configured on the command line by use of the
-Djetty.reload system parameter. For example: "mvn -Djetty.reload=manual
jetty:run" would force manual reloading, regardless of what is configured
in the project pom. Similarly: "mvn -Djetty.reload=automatic
-Djetty.scanIntervalSeconds=10 jetty:run" will force automatic background
reloading with a sweep every 10 seconds, regardless of the configuration in
the project pom."

Fastest way? How about edit in browser itself?
Add stubs/new JS/CSS etc. files in the repo, do a clean install on the client project, run mgmt server.
Open up Chrome, open developer tools -> sources, make sure you’ve the console open too.
Edit JS files, save it; it will say something on the console like “Recompilation and update succeeded”.
For tinkering purposes, you can use inspect elements; add break points, do resource/performance monitoring/benchmarking/optimizations etc.
Now, iterate until you’ve a solution; copy stuff from the JS files (Chrome) to the source files in the repository.
Hope this helps.

Re: Fast way to rebuild the GUI?

hi mike,
mvn -P developer -*pl* :cloud-client-ui -DskipTests=true
i guess running this command only builds the cloud-client-ui package,
ie client/target/cloud-client-ui-4.4.0-SNAPSHOT.war
but it won't be extracted to client/target/cloud-client-ui-4.4.0-SNAPSHOT
hence the new changes will not be reflected.
for an easy workaround you can scp the changed js file form your workspace
to the script folder in the running cloudstack and on refreshing the
browser will reflect the changes.
thanks.

I should clarify that that command runs successfully, but the GUI does not
incorporate the new changes from running that command anymore.

I could be wrong, but I thought we compressed JS files now.
This used to work:
mvn -P developer -pl :cloud-client-ui -DskipTests=true
Unfortunately it no longer does.

hi mike,
you can just replace the js file in
cloudstack-management/webapps/client/scripts/ folder and reload the
browser, js file will be reloaded in the cloudstack ui.
thanks.
