Building the testmodel application

1. Check that you have the required software installed and configured, see prerequisites.
2. Get the InterMine software
3. Create a file called 'testmodel.properties'
   • This file tells the testmodel application which databases to use.
   • You will need to change the properties to your own database server and database username/password.
   • Put it in ~/.intermine with the following contents.

     db.userprofile-test.datasource.serverName=test_host
     db.userprofile-test.datasource.databaseName=testmodel-webapp-userprofile
     db.userprofile-test.datasource.user=test_user
     db.userprofile-test.datasource.password=secret
     
     db.unittest.datasource.serverName=test_host
     db.unittest.datasource.databaseName=testmodel-webapp
     db.unittest.datasource.user=test_user
     db.unittest.datasource.password=secret
     # You don't really need to change these
     project.helpLocation=http://www.flymine.org/doc/manual
     project.sitePrefix=http://www.flymine.org/flymine
     project.releaseVersion=test
     
     # You may want to change the following 6 properties:
     webapp.deploy.url=http://localhost:8080
     webapp.path=intermine-test
     webapp.manager=manager
     webapp.password=manager
     # It doesn't work now, logs are saved in bin directory of tomcat
     webapp.logdir=/var/logs
     # It must be valid email address
     superuser.account=you@yourdomain.com
     
     # You don't need to change these
     webapp.os.alias=os.unittest
     webapp.userprofile.os.alias=osw.userprofile-test
     

4. You should now manually create the databases needed by the testmodel application. Execute:

   createdb testmodel-webapp
   createdb testmodel-webapp-userprofile
   

5. Now initialise the two databases:

   cd testmodel/dbmodel
   ant clean build-db
   ant insert-data-unittest
   
   cd testmodel/webapp/main
   ant build-db-userprofile
   

6. Build the testmodel web application and release to the running tomcat:

   cd testmodel/webapp/main
   ant default release-webapp
   

   If you have previously released a webapp to /intermine-test you will need to remove it as well:

   cd testmodel/webapp/main
   ant default remove-webapp release-webapp
   

7. Browse to http://localhost:8080/intermine-test to view the web interface for the testmodel application.
