camunda Webapp

This is the camunda BPM webapplication source. Clean, package and install it via Maven.

Structure of this project

The structure is as follows:

• ui - HTML, CSS and Javascript sources as well as plugins and test for the Camunda webapplications Cockpit, Tasklist and Admin.
• src - Java sources and tests for the Camunda webapplication.

UI

There are 3 webapplications available for the camunda BPM platform:

• cockpit: an administration interface for processes and decisions
• tasklist: provides an interface to process user tasks
• admin: is used to administer users, groups and their authorizations

The webapps above are relying on 2 libraries:

• camunda-bpm-sdk-js: provides tools for developers who want interact with the platform using Javascript
• camunda-commons-ui: is a set of shared scripts, templates and assets, used in the different webapps

Plugins

Parts of the webapplications can be extended using plugins.

See plugin development guide for details.

Libraries

camunda-bpm-sdk-js

Has tools to work with the REST API and forms (included transitively via camunda-commons-ui).

camunda-commons-ui

Contains resources like images, .less stylesheets as well as some angular.js modules and locales for the translation of the Tasklist interface texts.

Development

Prerequisite

You need node.js in version <= 4.4.1 with a npm version <= 2.14.20 - we recommend using nvm to install node.js. You will also need to install grunt globally using npm install -g grunt-cli.

Setup

Adjusting Maven Settings

See https://github.com/camunda/camunda-bpm-platform#building-camunda-bpm-platform

Using grunt

Installing the webapps is done by grunt:

# cd <path to your workspace>
git clone git@github.com:camunda/camunda-bpm-webapp.git
cd camunda-bpm-webapp
npm install
grunt

To start the server in development mode, call

mvn jetty:run -Pdevelop

The webapps are then available pointing a browser at http://localhost:8080. To login as admin user, use jonny1 as username and password.

You can now start developing using the grunt auto-build command in the webapp directory. To shorten compile times, you can specify the project you are going to make changes to by calling grunt auto-build:cockpit

If you are only changing Javascript files, you can set the environment variable FAST_BUILD to 1 to further improve compile times.

If you want to make changes in the camunda-commons-ui project or the camunda-bpm-sdk-js, you have to link the projects via npm:

# cd <path to your workspace>
git clone git@github.com:camunda/camunda-commons-ui.git
cd camunda-commons-ui
npm install
npm link
cd ../camunda-bpm-webapp
npm link camunda-commons-ui

Testing

Install the webapps with grunt and start the server in test mode:

mvn jetty:run -Pdev-e2e

Make sure that you terminate the server for development or use another port. You may configure the port the server runs on by passing the argument -Djetty.port=WHICH_PORT to the command line.

To run the tests, call

grunt test-e2e --protractorConfig=ui/common/tests/develop.conf.js

Now, it opens a new browser at http://localhost:8080 and do the tests steps. If you want to tests only one spec or a part of it then you can annotate the description of the spec with the keyword only:

describe.only('Cockpit Dashboard Spec', function() {
  // ...
}

Browsers support

The supported browsers are:

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Internet Explorer 9+
