Core schema and data model for GSP.

gsp-core

Core schema and data model for GSP.

Artifact	Platform(s)	Description
gsp-core-model	JVM+JS, Scala 2.12	GSP core data model.
gsp-core-testkit	JVM+JS, Scala 2.12	GSP core laws and arbitraries.
gsp-core-ocs2-api	JVM+JS, Scala 2.12	OCS2 PIO parsers for GSP core data model.

In addition, this library builds and tests (but does not publish) core database bindings, epheris parsing, and OCS2 program import functionality. These modules will be moved into application projects as GSP progresses.

Setting Up a Local Database

In order to build and run tests you will need a Postgres database running locally. There are two ways to do this.

Option 1: Postgres in Docker

This option is what's used in CI and is what you want if you're ok starting over with an empty database when things change. It does not require you to install or administer your own Postgres instance. Make sure you have Docker installed, then you can use the included docker-compose file. In the project root run:

docker-compose up -d

This will start a new Postgres database initialized with the schema defined in the schema project, configured as follows.

Parameter	Value	Notes
Port	5432	This is the standard port.
Database	gem
User	postgres
Password	(none)

If you have psql installed locally you can connect to the database thus:

psql -h localhost -U postgres -d gem

Otherwise you can run it in a container:

docker-compose exec db psql -U postgres -d gem

To stop and delete the database:

docker-compose down

Option 2: Local Postgres Installation with Flyway

If you want to maintain a database full of data and peform migrations instead of starting with a fresh database every time, this option is probably what you want. Install Postgres.app and add its binaries to your path, something along the lines of

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin

Next you can run the following to create the postgres user and gem database.

psql -c 'create user postgres createdb'
psql -c 'create database gem' -U postgres

Initialize the database by running the migration scripts.

sbt schema/flywayMigrate

If you ever want to wipe out the database and start over, you can do

psql -c 'drop database gem' -U postgres

And then redo the steps above starting from create database.

You can do

psql -U postgres -d gem

to poke around with the database on the commandline.

Generating Enumerated Types

There are many enumerated types in the database, represented by tables named e_whatever. The Scala equivalents are generated on demand by queries, then checked into source control like normal source files. This is only needed if you update the contents of an enum in the schema, or add/modify a the generation code in the gen project. In any case, you can [re]-generate the enumerated types thus:

sbt genEnums

The source files appear in modules/model/shared/src/main/scala/gem/enum.
