Setting Up Development Environment

Setting Up Development Environment

Create host certs for https://localhost:8080 needed for https://app.powerbi.com/ live testing:

./bootstrap_host.dev.sh

MS docs: Install a certificate

Create PowerBI dev account:

• https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/ -> start free
• pbi online account -> settings -> developers -> enable developer mode
• in a report (ex: HR), add a Developer visuals
• it will show a greyed component with "Can't contact visual server"

Versions

Version numbers are automatically taken from the latest git tag, and sometimes with suffix -dev.

Use environment variables to override how it is used for base docker images and/or published package versions. Read scripts to see which are used and how.

Publish

• Update CHANGELOG.md with intended version number
• Merge your PR and ensure CI passes
• From main branch:

git tag X.Y.Z
git push --tags

This will create a new tag and release: https://github.com/graphistry/graphbi/releases

OS X

• The keygen stuff might do funny keychain stuff
  • keychain: search for 'localhost' and allow all
  • may not still work in chrome, but maybe in firefox
  • or a reboot
• If ./dc.dev.sh up fails with Error response from daemon: invalid mount config for type "bind": bind source path does not exist: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/powerbi-visuals-tools/certs
  • In docker -> preferences -> resources -> file sharing: /usr/local/lib/node_modules
  • ... or wherever npm list -g --silent | head -1 goes
