This is the CONTRIBUTE.md for our project. Great to have you here. Have a look at our README.md if you're unfamiliar with Project Monitor.

The public Tracker project for ProjectMonitor is here.

A high level introduction to Project Monitor

There are two distinct layers to Project Monitor:

  1. the front end which polls the back end for updates and
  2. the back end which polls CI builds and receives webhook updates.

The front end is written in Backbone/CoffeeScript. Individual Backbone models are responsible for polling the database. Backbone views update when the model is updated. The back end receives updates through a REST/json interface, or it uses delayed_job to poll CI instances.

Gotchas (when things do not appear to be working as expected, try these...)

  • If you're testing anything with CoffeeScript, you probably want to run guard so that the files are re-compiled each time.
  • Are the workers running? Have you checked the worker log in log/delayed_job.log?
  • You can run rake projectmonitor:fetch_statuses to force update the builds.

Bug triage

If you encounter any bugs, feel free to file an issue in Github or contact our Product Manager: Graham Siener.

A final word

Please consider this a living document. When you've finished your work please take a minute to think of the developers who will follow in your footsteps. Is there anything missing from this document that you'd wished you'd known before you started coding?
