Configuration Process for Internal Developers

In the public repo, you will notice that Bluepic-Server/cloud_config.json, Bluepic-Server/properties.json, and Bluepic-OpenWhisk/local.env are pretty empty. To populate those with the values we use for testing internally, follow these steps:

1. Clone the Bluepic Testing Credentials repo:

   git clone https://github.com/IBM-Swift/BluePic-Testing-Credentials.git
   

2. Next, clone the DevOps repo:

   git clone https://github.com/IBM-Swift/DevOps.git
   

3. Now navigate to the /DevOps/scripts_assets/gradle_assets/build-deploy-assets/ directory, on your local machine, where the copy-project-properties.gradle script is.

4. Make sure you have Gradle installed, if not, you can install it like this with Homebrew:

   brew install gradle
   

5. Now, you simply run the script with the appropriate parameters. Here is an outline:

   gradle copyProperties -b copy-project-properties.gradle -PappOpenSourceFolder=<BluePic-Testing-Credentials-RootDirectory> -PappRootFolder=<BluepicRootDirectory>
   

   This script simply copies the files from -PappOpenSourceFolder and puts them in -PappRootFolder, overwriting if necessary and retaining the directory structure. Afterwards, the configuration files; Bluepic-Server/cloud_config.json, Bluepic-Server/properties.json, and Bluepic-OpenWhisk/local.env should be populated with valid credentials and will be untracked by git so we don't accidentally commit them to the remote repo.
