Use this guide if you plan on contributing (developing/testing/debugging) Harmony code, or if you need a setup that isn't well suited to the Quick Start.
For developing Harmony on Windows follow this document as well as the information in docs/dev_container/README.md.
Required:
- A local copy of this repository. Using
git clone
is strongly recommended - Node.js version 22. We strongly recommend installing NVM to add and manage node versions.
- Mac OSX, Linux, or similar command line tooling. Harmony is tested to run on OSX >= 10.14 and Amazon Linux 2. Command-line instructions and bash helper files under bin/ are tested on OSX >= 10.14.
- git - Used to clone this repository
- Mac:
- Install [Docker Desktop] https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop. Docker Desktop comes bundled with Kubernetes and
kubectl
. If you encounter issues runningkubectl
commands, first make sure you are running the version bunedled with Docker Desktop. - Run Kubernetes in Docker Desktop by selecting Preferences -> Kubernetes -> Enable Kubernetes
- Install [Docker Desktop] https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop. Docker Desktop comes bundled with Kubernetes and
- Linux / Generic:
- Docker compose version 1.20.0 or greater; preferably the latest version, which is v1.26 or greater.
- The AWS CLI - Used to interact with both localstack and real AWS accounts
- SQLite3 commandline - Used to create the local development and test databases. Install using your OS package manager, or download precompiled binaries from SQLite
- PostgreSQL (required by the pg-native library) -
brew install postgresql
on OSX - Earthdata Login application in UAT
- envsubst - Used to substitute environment variable placeholders inside configuration files.
- openssl Read this installation guide if you're a Windows user and openssl is not installed on your machine already.
Highly Recommended:
- An Amazon Web Services account - Used for testing Harmony against object stores and running Harmony in AWS
- An editor with syntax awareness of TypeScript. If you do not have this or any preference, consider Visual Studio Code
Optional:
- awscli-local - CLI helpers for interacting with localstack
- Python version 3.11 - Useful for locally running and testing harmony-docker and other backend services
If you have not yet cloned the Harmony repository, run
$ git clone https://github.com/nasa/harmony.git
Ensure envsubst
is installed on your system.
For Mac, envsubst
is part of the homebrew
gettext
package. Run
brew install gettext
if you are using homebrew
. The version installed by pip
is NOT compatible.
If you are running on an M1 Mac, you will have to run Harmony on Rosetta 2 due to some issues with GDAL Node packages. To do this, run this command before following the rest of these instructions.
arch -x86_64 zsh
or
arch -x86_64 bash
Ensure node is available and is the correct version, 22.x.y.
$ node --version
v22.5.1
Ensure npm is available and is version 10 or later.
$ npm --version
9.8.1
If either are not the correct versions and you are using NVM, install them and ensure your PATH
is up-to-date by running:
$ nvm install && nvm use
The output should include node 22 and npm 10.
Now using node v22.5.1 (npm v10.8.2)
Be sure to verify the version on the final line to make sure the NVM binary appears first in your PATH
.
From the harmony project root, install library dependencies:
$ npm install
Recommended: Add ./node_modules/.bin
to your PATH
. This will allow you to run binaries from installed node modules. If you choose not to do this, you will need to prefix node module calls with npx
, e.g. npx mocha
instead of just mocha
Harmony uses environment variables for managing much of its configuration. Most of the variables can be defaulted, and harmony provides those defaults suitable for local development in the env-defaults
file. In order to set up the remaining variables, run the following from the harmony project root:
$ bin/create-dotenv
The script will create a file named .env
in the root project directory containing only those parameters that cannot be defaulted. Open the file and update the values for any of the variables that are currently blank. Detailed information for the environment variables can be found in the env-defaults
file.
Harmony reads both the env-defaults
and .env
files at startup to determine the configuration. To override any default values, set the desired value in the .env
file. There is no need to duplicate parameters in the .env
file if using the default value.
Specifically, you will need to add the following to your .env file: Mac OS X
LOCALSTACK_HOST=localhost
WORK_ITEM_UPDATE_QUEUE_URL=http://localhost:4566/queue/work-item-update-queue
LARGE_WORK_ITEM_UPDATE_QUEUE_URL=http://localhost:4566/queue/large-work-item-update-queue
BACKEND_HOST=host.docker.internal
CALLBACK_URL_ROOT=http://host.docker.internal:3001
LOCAL_DEV=true
Linux
LOCALSTACK_HOST=localhost
WORK_ITEM_UPDATE_QUEUE_URL=http://localhost:4566/queue/work-item-update-queue
LARGE_WORK_ITEM_UPDATE_QUEUE_URL=http://localhost:4566/queue/large-work-item-update-queue
BACKEND_HOST=localhost
CALLBACK_URL_ROOT=http://localhost:3001
LOCAL_DEV=true
You can skip this step if you are using the default docker driver for minikube and set CALLBACK_URL_ROOT as described in the example dotenv file. If you are using a different driver such as virtualbox you may need to execute the following command to get the IP address minikube has bridged to localhost:
minikube ssh grep host.minikube.internal /etc/hosts | cut -f1
This should print out an IP address. Use this in your .env file to specify the CALLBACK_URL_ROOT
value, e.g., CALLBACK_URL_ROOT=http://192.168.65.2:4001
.
Harmony and the services can be run using the following:
./bin/bootstrap-harmony
./bin/start-dev-services
NOTE: You must set LOCAL_DEV=true
before running these to prevent bootstrap-harmony
from
starting harmony and its support services in kubernetes.
The provider services along with postgresql and localstack will now be running in kubernetes, while Harmony and its support services will be running as local Node.js processes. Each process has a specific port and debug port as shown in the following table:
Process | Port | Debug Port |
---|---|---|
harmony | 3000 | 9200 |
work-scheduler | 5001 | 9201 |
work-updater (large) | 5002 | 9202 |
work-updater (small) | 5003 | 9203 |
The services running in kubernetes can be stopped using the following (this will also delete
the harmony
namespace):
./bin/stop-harmony-and-services
The Node.js processes for Harmony and its support services can be stopped using the following:
./bin/stop-dev-services
Clone the Harmony service example repository into a peer directory of the main Harmony repo
$ cd ..
$ git clone https://github.com/nasa/harmony-service-example.git
(minikube only) From the harmony-service-example project root, run
eval $(minikube docker-env)
This will set up the proper environment for building the image so that it may be used in minikube.
Next run the following command to build and locally install the image:
./bin/build-image
This may take some time, but ultimately it will produce a local docker image tagged harmonyservices/service-example:latest
. (The docker images for each service must be available locally in order for the k8s deployment to succeed.)
Create the k8s deployment:
./bin/deploy-services
If you'd like to build and test a new service for Harmony see this reference.
To delete all resources associated with deployed services, postgres and localstack deployment, run:
$ kubectl delete namespaces harmony
minikube
users can stop Kubernetes by running minikube stop
. Docker Desktop users will
need to close Docker or disable Kubernetes support in the UI. Note that the latter uninstalls kubectl
.
To run Harmony locally such that it reloads when files change (recommended during development), run
$ npm run start-dev
In production, we use $ npm run start
which does the same but does not add the file watching and reloading behavior.
You should see messages about the two applications listening on two ports, "frontend" and "backend." The frontend application receives requests from users, while the backend application receives callbacks from services.
You should now be able to view the outputs of performing a simple transformation request. Harmony has its own test collection set up for sanity checking harmony with the harmony-service-example backend. This will fetch a granule from that collection converted to GeoTIFF: http://localhost:3000/C1233800302-EEDTEST/ogc-api-coverages/1.0.0/collections/all/coverage/rangeset?granuleId=G1233800343-EEDTEST&format=image/tiff
You can also set up a WMS connection in QGIS, for example, by placing the
http://localhost:3000/C1233800302-EEDTEST/wms
as the "URL" field input in the "Connection Details"
dialog when adding a new WMS connection. Thereafter, expanding the connection should provide a list of layers obtained through a
GetCapabilities call to the test server, and double-clicking a layer should add it to a map, making a WMS call to retrieve an appropriate
PNG from the test server.
To run the linter, tests, and coverage checks as the CI environment will, run
$ npm test
Harmony uses eslint as a linter, which can be invoked as $ npx eslint
(or $ eslint
if you have set up your PATH
). It uses mocha for tests, $ npx mocha
, and nyc for code coverage, $ npx nyc mocha
.
Rather than repeatedly perform the same queries against the CMR, our test suite uses node-replay to record and play back HTTP interactions. All non-localhost interactions are recorded and placed in files in the fixtures directory.
By default, the test suite will playback interactions it has already seen and
record any new interactions to new files. This behavior can be changed by setting
the REPLAY
environment variable, as described in the
node-replay README.
To re-record everything, remove the fixtures directory and run the test suite. This should be done to cull the recordings when a code change makes many of them obsolete, when CMR adds response fields that Harmony needs to make use of, and periodically to ensure no impactful CMR changes or regressions.
The Harmony Docker image can be built with the following command:
npm run build
The image can be deployed to DockerHub using the following commands:
npm run publish
- Set your AWS profile to the sandbox, e.g.,
export AWS_PROFILE=harmony-sandbox
VERSION=<some-tag> npm run build-all
(orVERSION=<some-tag> npm run build-all-m1
if you are building on a Mac M1/M2 machine).VERSION=<some-tag> npm run push-image-all
