* dashboards: new command for validating dashboard before update Removes validation logic from saveDashboard and later on use the new command for validating dashboard before saving a dashboard. This due to the fact that we need to validate permissions for overwriting other dashboards by uid and title. * dashboards: use the new command for validating dashboard before saving Had to refactor dashboard provisioning a bit to be able to sidetrack the permission validation in a somewhat reasonable way. Adds some initial tests of the dashboard repository, but needs to be extended later. At least now you can mock the dashboard guardian * dashboards: removes validation logic in the save dashboard api layer Use the dashboard repository solely for create/update dashboards and let it do all the validation. One exception regarding quota validation which still is in api layer since that logic is in a macaron middleware. Need to move out-commented api tests later. * dashboards: fix database tests for validate and saving dashboards * dashboards: rename dashboard repository to dashboard service Split the old dashboard repository interface in two new interfaces, IDashboardService and IDashboardProvisioningService. Makes it more explicit when using it from the provisioning package and there's no possibility of calling an incorrect method for saving a dashboard. * database: make the InitTestDB function available to use from other packages * dashboards: rename ValidateDashboardForUpdateCommand and some refactoring * dashboards: integration tests of dashboard service * dashboard: fix sqlstore test due to folder exist validation * dashboards: move dashboard service integration tests to sqlstore package Had to move it to the sqlstore package due to concurrency problems when running against mysql and postgres. Using InitTestDB from two packages added conflicts when clearing and running migrations on the test database * dashboards: refactor how to find id to be used for save permission check * dashboards: remove duplicated dashboard tests * dashboards: cleanup dashboard service integration tests * dashboards: handle save dashboard errors and return correct http status * fix: remove log statement * dashboards: import dashboard should use dashboard service Had to move alerting commands to models package due to problems with import cycles of packages. * dashboards: cleanup dashboard api tests and add some tests for post dashboard * dashboards: rename dashboard service interfaces * dashboards: rename dashboard guardian interface

Run from master
If you want to build a package yourself, or contribute - Here is a guide for how to do that. You can always find the latest master builds here
Dependencies
- Go 1.9
- NodeJS LTS
Building the backend
go get github.com/grafana/grafana
cd ~/go/src/github.com/grafana/grafana
go run build.go setup
go run build.go build
Building frontend assets
For this you need nodejs (v.6+).
npm install -g yarn
yarn install --pure-lockfile
npm run watch
Run tests
npm run jest
Run karma tests
npm run karma
Recompile backend on source change
To rebuild on source change.
go get github.com/Unknwon/bra
bra run
Open grafana in your browser (default: http://localhost:3000) and login with admin user (default: user/pass = admin/admin).
Dev config
Create a custom.ini in the conf directory to override default configuration options. You only need to add the options you want to override. Config files are applied in the order of:
- grafana.ini
- custom.ini
In your custom.ini uncomment (remove the leading ;) sign. And set app_mode = development.
Running tests
Frontend
Execute all frontend tests
npm run test
Writing & watching frontend tests (we have two test runners)
- jest for all new tests that do not require browser context (React+more)
- Start watcher:
npm run jest - Jest will run all test files that end with the name ".jest.ts"
- Start watcher:
- karma + mocha is used for testing angularjs components. We do want to migrate these test to jest over time (if possible).
- Start watcher:
npm run karma - Karma+Mocha runs all files that end with the name "_specs.ts".
- Start watcher:
Backend
# Run Golang tests using sqlite3 as database (default)
go test ./pkg/...
# Run Golang tests using mysql as database - convenient to use /docker/blocks/mysql_tests
GRAFANA_TEST_DB=mysql go test ./pkg/...
# Run Golang tests using postgres as database - convenient to use /docker/blocks/postgres_tests
GRAFANA_TEST_DB=postgres go test ./pkg/...
