Setup development environment

Install Dependencies

Required

Optional

Basic setup instructions for developers

These instructions are for developers only. If you are a user/implementer, please check out our Installation page.

1. Install Dependencies

Install dependencies above

2. Install Grails

Check that you have SDK Man installed properly (otherwise follow instructions on the skdman install page).

$ sdk version
SDKMAN 3.1.0

Install Grails 1.3.9

$ sdk install grails 1.3.9
3. Clone repository
git clone [email protected]:openboxes/openboxes.git      

Otherwise, replace git url with the one of your forked repository

git clone [email protected]:<gitusername>/openboxes.git      
4. Create database

Create openboxes database

mysql -u root -p -e 'create database openboxes default charset utf8;'

Create openboxes user

mysql -u root -p -e 'grant all on openboxes.* to "openboxes"@"localhost" identified by "openboxes";'
5. Create Openboxes configuration file

Edit $HOME/.grails/openboxes-config.properties

# Database connection settings
# You can use dataSource.url when you are using a non-dev/non-test database (test-app may not run properly).
# If you want to run $ grails test-app you should comment out the dataSource.url below and create a new 
# openboxes_test database.  Eventually, we will move to an in-memory H2 database for testing, but we're 
# currently stuck with MySQL because I'm using some MySQL-specific stuff in the Liquibase changesets.  My bad.

dataSource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/openboxes?autoReconnect=true&zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull&sessionVariables=storage_engine=InnoDB
dataSource.username=openboxes
dataSource.password=openboxes

# OpenBoxes mail settings - disabled by default
grails.mail.enabled=false

# OpenBoxes > Inventory Browser > Quick categories
#openboxes.inventoryBrowser.quickCategories=ARVs,MEDICAL SUPPLIES,FOOD,EQUIPMENT,MEDICINE

# OpenBoxes > Choose Location > Required Activities
# The supported activities required in order for a location a location to show up on Choose Location page.
# Possible values: MANAGE_INVENTORY, PLACE_ORDER, PLACE_REQUEST, FULFILL_ORDER, FULFILL_REQUEST, SEND_STOCK, RECEIVE_STOCK, EXTERNAL
#
#openboxes.chooseLocation.requiredActivities = "MANAGE_INVENTORY"

# If you wish to not set up any test data, you can indicate this per the below 
# (eg. if you are running from a copy of a production db)
# openboxes.fixtures.enabled=false

# Google Product Search
#google.api.key=<Google API key>

# Hipaaspace.com API (NDC Lookup)
#hipaaspace.api.key=<hipaaspace API key>

# RXNorm API
#rxnorm.api.key=<RxNorm API key>

# Google analytics
#google.analytics.enabled = false
#google.analytics.webPropertyID = <Google Analytics Key>

NOTE: If you are running in development mode with a copy of an existing production database, you will need to instruct the application to not setup test fixtures automatically by uncommenting the above property:

openboxes.fixtures.enabled=false
6. Upgrade the project to the currently installed grails version

Either of the following actions (upgrade, compile, run-app) should generate the all important Spring configuration (/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml) and start the dependency resolution process.

grails upgrade

OR

grails compile

The grails compile step is not necessary since grails run-app will invoke the compilation step, but it doesn't hurt anything.

If you see any errors, run the command again.

IMPORTANT That last line is important. Because of some quirkiness with the way older versions of Grails resolve dependencies and generates config files, you may need to run either of these commands multiple times in order to resolve all dependencies and generate the config files.

Once the dependency resolution phase has completed, all dependencies will be stored in a local ivy cache (usually under $USER_HOME/.grails/ivy-cache). You do not have to worry about this, just know that the dependencies are now on your machine and Grails will attempt to find them there before it tries to resolve them in a remote repository.

7. Start application in development mode

The application can be run in development mode. This starts the application running in an instance of Tomcat within the Grails console. You may need to run 'grails run-app' several times in order to download all dependencies.

grails run-app
8. Open application in Google Chrome
http://localhost:8080/openboxes
9. Log into OpenBoxes

You can use the default accounts (manager:password OR admin:password). Once you are logged in as an admin, you can create own account. Or you can use the signup form to create a new account.

Troubleshooting

Problem

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not open ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]

Solution

Execute the grails upgrade command in order to generate the files nece

$ grails upgrade
