Mumuki Laboratory

Code assement web application for the Mumuki Platform

About

Laboratory is a multitenant Rails webapp for solving exercises, organized in terms of chapters and guides.

Preparing environment

1. Install essentials and base libraries

First, we need to install some software: PostgreSQL database, RabbitMQ queue, and some common Ruby on Rails native dependencies

sudo apt-get install autoconf curl git build-essential libssl-dev autoconf bison libreadline6 libreadline6-dev zlib1g zlib1g-dev postgresql libpq-dev rabbitmq-server

2. Install rbenv

rbenv is a ruby versions manager, similar to rvm, nvm, and so on.

curl -fsSL https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv-installer/raw/master/bin/rbenv-installer | bash
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc # or .bash_profile
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc # or .bash_profile

3. Install ruby

Now we have rbenv installed, we can install ruby and bundler

rbenv install 2.6.3
rbenv global 2.6.3
rbenv rehash
gem install bundler

4. Clone this repository

Because, err... we need to clone this repostory before developing it 😛

git clone https://github.com/mumuki/mumuki-laboratory
cd mumuki-laboratory

5. Install and setup database

We need to create a PostgreSQL role - AKA a user - who will be used by Laboratory to create and access the database

# create db user for linux users
sudo -u postgres psql <<EOF
  create role mumuki with createdb login password 'mumuki';
EOF

# create db user for mac users
psql postgres
#once inside postgres server
create role mumuki with createdb login password 'mumuki';

# create schema and initial development data
./devinit

Installing and Running

Quick start

If you want to start the server quickly in developer environment, you can just do the following:

./devstart

This will install your dependencies and boot the server.

Installing the server

If you just want to install dependencies, just do:

bundle install

Running the server

You can boot the server by using the standard rackup command:

# using defaults from config/puma.rb and rackup default port 9292
bundle exec rackup

# changing port
bundle exec rackup -p 8080

# changing threads count
MUMUKI_LABORATORY_THREADS=30 bundle exec rackup

# changing workers count
MUMUKI_LABORATORY_WORKERS=4 bundle exec rackup

Or you can also start it with puma command, which gives you more control:

# using defaults from config/puma.rb
bundle exec puma

# changing ports, workers and threads count, using puma-specific options:
bundle exec puma -w 4 -t 2:30 -p 8080

# changing ports, workers and threads count, using environment variables:
MUMUKI_LABORATORY_WORKERS=4 MUMUKI_LABORATORY_PORT=8080 MUMUKI_LABORATORY_THREADS=30 bundle exec puma

Finally, you can also start your server using rails:

rails s

Running tests

# Run all tests
bundle exec rake

# Run only web tests (i.e. Capybara and Teaspoon)
bundle exec rake spec:web

Running Capybara tests with Selenium

The Capybara config of this project supports running tests on Firefox, Chrome and Safari via Selenium. The webdrivers gem automatically installs (and updates) all the necessary Selenium webdrivers.

By default, Capybara tests will run with the default dummy-driver (Rack test). If you want to run on a real browser, you should set MUMUKI_SELENIUM_DRIVER variable to firefox, chrome or safari. Also, a Rake task to run just the Capybara tests is available.

Some examples:

# Run web tests, using Firefox
MUMUKI_SELENIUM_DRIVER=firefox bundle exec rake spec:web

# Run Capybara tests on Chrome
MUMUKI_SELENIUM_DRIVER=chrome bundle exec rake spec:web:capybara

Running JS tests

The webdrivers gem also works with Teaspoon, no need to install anything manually. By default tests run on Firefox, but this behavior can be changed by setting MUMUKI_SELENIUM_DRIVER (see section above).

bundle exec rake spec:web:teaspoon

Running `eslint`

yarn run lint

Using a local runner

Sometimes you will need to check laboratory against a local runner. Run the following code in you rails console:

require 'mumuki/domain/seed'

# import a new language
Mumuki::Domain::Seed.languages_syncer.locate_and_import!  Language, 'http://localhost:9292'

# update an existing language object
Mumuki::Domain::Seed.languages_syncer.import!  Mumukit::Sync.key(Language, 'http://localhost:9292'), language

Using a remote content

Likewise, you will sometimes require a guide that is not locally available. Run the following code in rails console:

require 'mumuki/domain/seed'

# import a new guide
Mumuki::Domain::Seed.contents_syncer.locate_and_import! Guide, slug

# update an existing guide object
Mumuki::Domain::Seed.contents_syncer.import!  Mumukit::Sync.key(Guide, slug), guide

After that you will probably to add it somewhere. The easiest way is to create a complement of central:

o = Organization.central
o.book.complements << Guide.locate!(slug).as_complement_of(o.book)
o.reindex_usages!

Now you will be able to visit that guide at http://localhost:3000/central/guides/#{slug}

Debugging email sender

The development environment is configured to "send" emails via mailcatcher, a mock server, if it is available. Run these commands to install and run it - and do it before the emails are sent, so it can actually catch them:

gem install mailcatcher
mailcatcher

Once up and running, go to http://localhost:1080/ to see which emails have been sent. Unfortunately, the developers recommend not to install it via Bundler, so it has to be done this way. 🤷‍♀️

Kids Call order

Laboratory Kids API Initialization
Runner Editor JS
Laboratory Kids Layout Initialization
Runner Editor HTML

Generic event system

Laboartory provides the mumuki.events object, which acts as minimal, generic event system, which is mostly designed for third party components built on top of laboratory and runners. It does nothing by default.

This API has two parts: consumers API and producers API.

// ======
// producer
// ======

// you need to call this method in order to enable registration of event handlers
// otherwise, it will  be ignored
mumuki.events.enable('myEvent');

// fire the event, with an optional event object as payload
mumuki.events.fire('myEvent', aPlainOldObject);

// clear all the registered event handlers
mumuki.events.clear('myEvent');

// ========
// consumer
// ========

// register an event handler
mumuki.events.on('myEvent', (anEventObject) => {
  // do stuff
});

Custom editors

Mumuki provides several editor types: code editors, multiple choice, file upload, and so on. However, some runners will require custom editors in order to provide better ways of entering solutions.

The process to do so is not difficult, but tricky, since there are a few hooks you need to implement. Let's look at them:

1. Before state: adding layout assets

If you need to provide a custom editor, chances are that you also need to provide assets to augment the layout, e.g. providing ways to render some custom components on descriptions or corollaries. That code will be included first.

In order to do that, add to your runner the layout html, css and js code. Layout code has no further requirements. It can customize any public selector previously.

Although it is not required, it is recommended that your layout code works with any of the mumuki layouts:

input_right
input_bottom
input_primary
input_kindergarten

⚠️ Not all the selectors will be available to all layouts.

Then expose code in the MetadataHook:

class ... < Mumukit::Hook
  def metadata
    {
      layout_assets_urls: {
        js: [
          'assets/....'
        ],
        css: [
          'assets/....'
        ],
        html: [
          'assets/....'
        ]
      }
    }
  end
end

Finally, it is recommended that you layout code calls mumuki.assetsLoadedFor('layout') when fully loaded.

That's it!

2. Adding custom editor assets

The process for registering custom editors is more involving.

2.1 Add your assets and expose them

Add your js, css and html assets to your runner, and expose them in MetadataHook:

class ... < Mumukit::Hook
  def metadata
    {
      editor_assets_urls: {
        js: [
          'assets/....'
        ],
        css: [
          'assets/....'
        ],
        html: [
          'assets/....'
        ]
      }
    }
  end
end

These assets will only be loaded when the editor custom is used.

2.2 Add your components to the custom editor

Using JavaScript, append your components the custom-editor root, which can be found using the following selectors:

mu-${languageName}-custom-editor
#mu-${languageName}-custom-editor
.mu-${languageName}-custom-editor

$('#mu-mylang-custom-editor').append(/* ... */)

2.3 Extract the test

If necessary, read the test definition from #mu-custom-editor-test, and plump into your custom components

const test = $('#mu-custom-editor-test').val()
//...use test...

2.4 Exposing your content

Before sending a submission, mumuki needs to be able to your read you editor components contents. There are two different approaches:

Register a syncer that writes #mu-custom-editor-value or any other custom editor selectors
Add one or more content sources

// simplest method - you can register just one
mumuki.editors.registerContentSyncer(() => {
  // ... write here your custom component content...
  $('#mu-custom-editor-value').val(/* ... */);
});

// alternate method
// you can register many sources
mumuki.editors.addCustomSource({
  getContent() {
    return { name: "solution[content]", value: /* ... */ } ;
  }
});

2.5 Optional: Triggering submission processing programmatically

Your solution will be automatically sent to the client and processed when the submit button is pressed. However, if you need to trigger the whole submission process programmatically, call mumuki.submission.processSolution:

mumuki.submission.processSolution({solution: {content: /* ... */}});

2.6 Optional: Sending your solution to the server programmatically

Your solution will be automatically sent to the client when the submit button is pressed, as part of the solution processing. However, if you just need to send your submission to the server programmatically, call mumuki.submission.sendSolution:

mumuki.submission.sendSolution({solution: {content: /* ... */}});

2.7 Optional: customizing your submit button

You can alternatively override the default submit button UI and behaviour, by replacing it with a custom component. In order to do that, override the .mu-submit-button or the kids-specific .mu-kids-submit-button:

 $(".mu-submit-button").html(/* ... */);

However, doing this is tricky, since you will need to manually update the UI and connecting to the server. See:

mumuki.kids.showResult
mumuki.bridge.Laboratory.runTests
mumuki.updateProgressBarAndShowModal

2.8 Register kids scalers

Kids layouts have some special areas:

state area: its display initial and/or final states of the exercise
blocks area: a workspace that contains the building blocks of the solution - which are not necessary programming or blockly blocks, actually

If you want to support kids layouts, you need to register scalers that will be called when device is resized. Skip this step otherwise.

mumuki.kids.registerStateScaler(($state, fullMargin, preferredWidth, preferredHeight) => {
  // ... resize your components ...
});

mumuki.kids.registerBlocksAreaScaler(($blocks) => {
  // ... resize your components ...
});

2.9 Notify when your assets have been loaded

In order to remove loading spinners, you will need to call mumuki.assetsLoadedFor when your code is ready.

mumuki.assetsLoadedFor('editor');

Transparent Navigation API Docs

In order to be able to link content, laboratory exposes slug-based routes that will redirect to the actual content URL in the current organization transparently:

GET <organization-url>/topics/<organization>/<repository>
GET <organization-url>/guides/<organization>/<repository>
GET <organization-url>/exercises/<organization>/<repository>/<bibliotheca-id>

REST API Docs

Before using the API, you must create an ApiClient using rails c, which will generate a private JWT. Use it to authenticate API calls in any Platform application within a Authorizaion: Bearer <TOKEN>.

Before using the API, take a look to the roles hierarchy:

.

Permissions are bound to a scope, that states in which context the operation can be performed. Scopes are simply two-level contexts, expressed as slugss <first>/<second>, without any explicit semantic. They exact meaning depends on the role:

ex_student: organization/course
student: organization/course
teacher and headmaster: organization/course
writer and editor: organization/content
janitor: organization/_
moderator and forum_supervisor: organization/_
admin: _/_
owner: _/_
