Does 'irissession' take any additional args like username and password?

I'm helping maintain a fairly old code base that wasn't built around test-driven development.  I know debugging and testing are two different things, but I often find that the only way to test my code is to use the debugger.  If I had better ways of stepping and out of entry points to automate these tests it would be great, but the debugger doesn't work like that. 

Does anyone else find that their unit testing is also using the debugger?  

I have followed these steps both from the GitHub readme file and this more detailed article and I'm having an issue.

To start, however, know I was able to follow the instructions on the the DockerHub page for IRIS and I got my container running and VS Code connected and working.  Since I got that working, I decided to better understand starting with this template.

I downloaded the objectscript-docker-template from GitHub to my local drive K:\objectscript-docker-template.  I ran the commands to install and run the IRIS container in Git Bash and I see it running in Docker Desktop. I can go in the container's command line and type 'iris TERMINAL IRIS' and I'm brought to the USER namespace.

Back in the project location, I run 'docker-compose up -d' and I get a series of errors:

$ docker-compose up -d
Creating objectscript-docker-template_iris_1 ... error

ERROR: for objectscript-docker-template_iris_1  Cannot create container for service iris: status code not OK but 500: {"Message":"Unhandled exception: Filesharing has been cancelled","StackTrace":"   at Docker.ApiServices.Mounting.FileSharing.<DoShareAsync>d__6.MoveNext() in C:\\workspaces\\stable-2.3.x\\src . . .

It goes on and on so I won't paste the whole thing.

If I stop the Docker container it's also deleted.  

Has anyone had a similar issue or can see right off the bat what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,

Mike

I see below that you've asked Raj to get a webinar going, so I will look forward to that!

I think I'm just getting bogged down in terms.  You said that server-side dev is the only option IRIS provides, but so far what I've experienced is that I can edit a .CLS or .MAC file in my local workspace and then on save it's sent to the server (the container running IRIS) and compiled. 

Now that I've saved that file and it's on the server, to continue making changes I should open up the server-side file and continue editing from there?  Or I can continue working on the local and it will overwrite the sever side?

I think I'm seeing your point about commits then.  I edit it locally, it's sent to the server, the server sends it to the repo, and locally I should pull down the repo before continuing any changes. Is that the idea?

The development lifecycle and source control at my work doesn't utilize modern source control (git) and it's my first programming job (no context elsewhere), so it takes me a while to grasp some of these things :)

Ok this makes sense. 

Yes, a webinar!

I'm not following the concept of starting with the project and using VS Code to compile/test.  Where would you do your local development then?  Isn't that why we use VS Code?

Reading the documentation, I'm also confused if local development is even desirable?  In my case I have IRIS community running docker and I have Cache 2018 running on my local machine (can't get IRIS locally as it's a work computer and locked down).  In this case I probably just want to develop all my code on the server?

@Dmitry Maslennikov 

Is this true for MAC files too?

I guess where I'm a little confused is this: is the code for Sergey's demo a docker image?  The little code mix graph on GitHub says it's mostly TypeScript.  So it's just Javascript code for the most part?  What is the 'docker-compse up' command doing to that bundle of code from the git repo while it sits in my web app in IRIS?

So am I to understand that for this demo to work, I would need to run a containerized IRIS using docker, not a local instance on my machine?

Ugh, chicken and egg here . . . I think I need to know more about Docker and IRIS before I even attempt this.

@Ben Spead Thanks for taking a stab at it. 

Ok yes, good, it makes sense that is the default behavior.

I think really the only other pressing question is if this tutorial should run on Cache, not just IRIS.   I thought I had Docker installed on my machine, but I think I must be lacking an AD group or something to actually run it.

That said, Docker is new territory for me too: I just read the 'docker-compose up' command documentation and I'm a bit confused.  When you run a Docker image, isn't there a virtual machine at play?  How is Docker working in this context where I've unloaded the code from GitHub to my webapp and then running the docker-compose up command in that directory?  

Thanks for any help.

Mike

@Sergei.Shutov 

Hi there!  I started following this tutoiral and got stuck pretty fast.  Some questions you might be able to help with:

- Should I be able to do this in Cache 2018?  We are not yet on IRIS.

- If so, was it correct to clone the app into my CSP application root (e.g. for me it was C:\InterSystems\Cache\CSP\mxdtest\new-project)?  I did this becuase for example I have C:\InterSystems\Cache\CSP\mxdtest\testpage.html and it renders as expected when I visit http://localhost:57772/CSP/mxdtest/test/testpage.html (I know you can't use these links, but I'm just trying to show you the best I can what I'm doing).

- General web application question for Cache/IRIS: once I create the web application for example at \csp\mxdtest, any subfolder there is treated as part of the app, yes?  So i could create C:\InterSystems\Cache\CSP\mxdtest\images and the images folder are part of the web applcation  \csp\mxdtest?

Questions maybe you can advise on but might be something for my system admin to answer:

- When I run npm run -- ng build --watch I get this:

$ npm run -- ng build --watch

> angular-ngrx-material-starter@8.3.0 ng C:\InterSystems\Cache\CSP\mxdtest\new-project
> ng "build" "--watch"

Then when I run the docker command it says docker isn't running, though I seem to have it installed.

Your thoughts are appreciated!

Mike

Well that makes perfect sense! 

I'm curious to know what you're doing that you are looking for a random record in such a large dataset?  Sincerely interested in what you're doing so I can learn and not challenging the validity of your task!

I just got a badge!  Evidently a post of mine was added to favorites 10 times. 

How does one now which post this was though?

Best,

Mike

Using:

Cache 2018

Excel 2013

Using my local Cache so localhost 1972

Thanks!  I don't seem to have that option (54).  I do have the others however,

I downloaded and installed in USER, but unfortunately I am having a lot of trouble following your documentation and your examples.  When clicking around in the interface, I got lots of errors and ultimately had to force quit the program.  I wonder if my config file isn't right, but that is hard for me to follow and understand too.

Hopefully you can clean up your documentation and I can try again!
