Nexus

Install/Start​

Linux Machine

cd droppr
./scripts/start_nexus.sh

The file start_nexus.sh contains the default password for admin: see variable "_REQ_PW"

  • If this message occurs:
docker: Error response from daemon: Conflict. The container name "/mynexus" is already in use by container

follow the steps at Full Clean.

Browser

  • Confirm that Nexus is running

http://localhost:8081

To manually run a test using Nexus:

Linux Machine

export NEXUS_PW=<admin_password>

where <admin_password> is determined during the install. For the default <admin_password>, look in file droppr/scripts/start_nexus.sh

  • Manually run a test (there will be no assertions)

Example:

cd droppr/test/Helm/nexus
../../../bin/droppr install -b ../bundle.tar.gz

Browser

  • Confirm the Nexus upload worked:

http://localhost:8081

  • There is residue left over from the test. If you try to run a different nexus test, e.g., for Maven, it will fail.
  • If one wishes to test a different format type, see Removing the droppr-test-repo.

Removing the droppr-test-repo​

Symptom: Repository droppr-test-repo has different format​

This can happen when working on the local Linux Machine.

For example:

$ cd droppr/test/Python/nexus
$ ../../../bin/droppr install -b ../bundle.tar.gz
Beginning install process on bundle ../bundle.tar.gz
   [ 25%] Component pkg:pypi/apispec@5.2.2 failed: Repository droppr-test-repo has format 'apt', format 'pypi' requested
...

This should not happen in the pipeline because one gets a fresh Nexus for every test case.

Web UI Clean​

This is a quicker way to perform the clean.

Browser

  • Logon to Nexus as admin

http://localhost:8081

  • Click on the Settings icon in the top navigation bar
  • Repository → Repositories
  • Click on "droppr-test-repo"
  • Click on "Delete repository"

Full Clean​

This performs a full clean by destroying the docker container and creating a new one

Linux Machine

  • Remove the Nexus container 
docker container ls -a
docker stop CONTAINER_ID
docker rm CONTAINER_ID
  • Start up nexus
cd droppr
./scripts/start_nexus.sh
