API jobs

The API flow uses the following other jobs.

• get-changes

• determine-images

• get-image-tag

• lint

• build-images

• publish-images

test-api

Initialises the API using the api/init recipe and runs tests for the API using the api/test recipe. Tests are run inside a Docker container so neither Python nor Node.js needs to be installed.

This job is skipped if the API codebase has not changed. Its counterparts are

• test-cat for the catalog

• test-ing for the ingestion server

• nuxt-build for the frontend

• build-docs for the documentation

This job exports the api_logs artifact.

Note

This job is treated as the proof of functionality for publishing Docker images for the API and deploying the image to staging.

Since the job also initialises the API, it provides a basic verification of the ingestion server’s core functionality of populating the API database and Elasticsearch.

django-checks

Runs a matrix of various Django checks for the API using the following just recipes.

Name	Recipe
check_django	api/dj check
validate_openapi	api/dj spectacular --format openapi-json --validate --file openapi.json
check_migrations	api/dj makemigrations --check --noinput --merge
test_doc	api/doc-test

This job is skipped if the API codebase has not changed. Its counterpart is nuxt-checks for the frontend.

Since this is a required check for a matrix job, it has a bypass counterpart. Refer to the documentation for bypass jobs.

The job with the name test_doc in this matrix exports the openapi.json artifact.
