Onboarding

Note: Before completing this guide, make sure you have completed the general onboarding guide in the base mojaloop repository.

  4. Running Inside Docker

  6. Common Errors/FAQs

1. Prerequisites

If you have followed the general onboarding guide, you should already have the following cli tools installed:

  • brew (macOS), [todo: windows package manager]
  • curl, wget
  • docker + docker-compose
  • node, npm and (optionally) nvm

In addition to the above cli tools, you will need to install the following to build and run the central-event-processor:

1.1. macOS

#none - you have everything you need!

1.2. Linux

[todo]

1.3. Windows

[todo]

2. Installing and Building

Firstly, clone your fork of the central-event-processor onto your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/<your_username>/central-event-processor.git

Then cd into the directory and install the node modules:

cd central-event-processor
npm install

If you run into problems running npm install, make sure to check out the Common Errors/FAQs below.

3. Running Locally (with dependencies inside of docker)

In this method, we will run core dependencies (mongodb, kafka) inside of docker containers, while running the central-event-processor server on your local machine.

Alternatively, you can run the central-event-processor inside of docker-compose with the rest of the dependencies to make the setup a little easier: Running Inside Docker.

1. Run the dependencies in docker-compose:

# start the dependencies inside of docker
docker-compose up mongo kafka

3. Configure the default files and run the server

# start the server
npm run start

Upon running npm run start, your output should look similar to:

> [email protected] start /<path_to>/central-event-processor
> WITH_SASL=0&&LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD/node_modules/node-rdkafka/build/deps&& node app.js

2019-06-03T07:23:27.850Z - info: Connection with database succeeded.
2019-06-03T07:23:27.863Z - info: CreateHandle::connect - creating Consumer for topics: [topic-notification-event]
2019-06-03T07:23:28.116Z - info: CreateHandle::connect - successful connected to topics: [topic-notification-event]
healthcheck is listening on port 3080

4. Running Inside Docker

We use docker-compose to manage and run the central-event-processor along with its dependencies with one command.

Note: Before starting all of the containers however, start the mysql container alone, to give it some more time to set up the necessary permissions (this only needs to be done once). This is a short-term workaround because the central-ledger (which is a dependency of central-event-processsor) doesn't retry it's connection to MySQL.

1. First run the mysql container, then run the test of the containers

docker-compose up mysql #first time only - the initial mysql load takes a while, and if it's not up in time, the central-ledger will just crash

npm run docker:up

This will do the following:

  • docker pull down any dependencies defined in the docker-compose.yml file
  • docker build the central-event-processor image based on the Dockerfile defined in this repo
  • run all of the containers together (central-ledger, ml-api-adapter, central-event-processor)

4.1 Handy Docker Compose Tips

You can run docker-compose in 'detached' mode as follows:

npm run docker:up -- -d

And then attach to the logs with:

docker-compose logs -f

When you're done, don't forget to stop your containers however:

npm run docker:stop

5. Testing

We use npm scripts as a common entrypoint for running the tests.

# unit tests:
npm run test:unit

# integration tests
npm run test:integration

# check test coverage
npm run test:coverage

5.1 Testing the central-event-processor API with Postman

Note: Make sure you have installed Postman and cloned the mojaloop/postman repo, which contains all the required collections and environments. You can find detailed instructions for this in the general onboarding guide.

Prerequisites:

  • ml-api-adapter and central-ledger services running (follow the Running Inside Docker guide to get these services up and running)
  • Optionally, run central-timeout , cental-settlement as well.

Running Example Requests

  1. Import the Mojaloop v0.1 draft collection, and open API Examples > mojaloop v1.0 > 6.a. Transfer Prepare Request
  2. Click Send
  3. If you get a valid response, continue to the next step, otherwise it reveals an issue in your configuration.
  4. Select the 7.a. Transfer Fulfil Request and perform a corresponding fulfilment request
  5. You can check the database to see the transfer state, status changes, positions and other such information. After this if everything looks good, you should be ready to go.

6. Common Errors/FAQs

6.1 sodium v1.2.3 can't compile during npm install

Resolved by installing v2.0.3 npm install [email protected]

6.2 ./src/argon2_node.cpp:6:10: fatal error: 'tuple' file not found

Resolved by running CXX='clang++ -std=c++11 -stdlib=libc++' npm rebuild

6.3 On macOS, npm install fails with the following error

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data", referenced from:
      _rd_kafka_transport_ssl_term in rdkafka_transport.o
  "_CRYPTO_num_locks", referenced from:
  ........
  ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Resolved by installing openssl brew install openssl and then running:

export CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include 
export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib 
npm install
