Adding New Fluid Releases to the Resource Server

Adding New Fluid Releases to the Resource Server

Jun 24, 2014

Fluid 1.4

Build Fluid

ant customBuild -Dexclude=jQuery,jQueryUICore,jQueryUIWidgets -Djsfilename="fluid-all-1.2.1.js" -DnoMinify=true

Locate unminified build resources

The new Fluid javascript and css resources can generally be found in the "products" directory in a build zip file. In 1.1.x versions of Fluid, the unminified JS resource may need to be collected from the "src" zip file. The unified javascript resource should be at the root of the build file, while the FSS resources will likely be in the "framework" directory.

Copy resources into resource server

A new directory should be added to resource-server/resource-server-content/src/main/webapp/rs/fluid, with the following format:

  • fluid

    • version (e.g. 1.2.1)

      • js

        • fluid-all-version.js (e.g. fluid-all-1.2.1.js)

      • fss

        • css

          • <individual css files>

        • images

          • <images and theme directories>

Create FSS framework file

We also use a custom FSS aggregation file to decrease the number of CSS imports in the main theme. A file named fss-framework-<version>.css should be created by combining (in order) fss-reset.css, fss-layout.css, and fss-text.css. For example, from the directory resource-server/resource-server-content/src/main/webapp/rs/fluid/1.2.1/fss/css:

cat fss-reset-global.css fss-base-global.css fss-layout.css fss-text.css > fss-framework-1.4.0.css

Fluid 1.5

Build Fluid

Install the pre-requisites (node.js, grunt-cli) as noted in the readme file in Infusion https://github.com/fluid-project/infusion.

# download and install node.js. If need be, create links to insure you have npm and node executable from the command line. sudo npm install -g grunt-cli # Install additional pre-requisites npm install grunt custom --exclude="jQuery,jQueryUICore,jQueryUIWidgets" --source=true

This should create products/infusion-custom-1.5.0-SNAPSHOT.zip.  The unminified files needed are in the zip file:

  • infusion/infusion-custom.js

  • infusion/framework/fss/css/*

  • infusion/framework/fss/images/*

Create FSS framework file

We also use a custom FSS aggregation file to decrease the number of CSS imports in the main theme. A file named fss-framework.css should be created by combining (in order) fss-reset.css, fss-layout.css, and fss-text.css. For example, from the directory resource-server/resource-server-content/src/main/webapp/rs/fluid/1.5.0/fss/css:

cat fss-reset-global.css fss-base-global.css fss-layout.css fss-text.css > fss-framework.css

Create Resource Server structure

A new directory should be added to resource-server/resource-server-content/src/main/webapp/rs/fluid, with the following format:

  • fluid

    • version (e.g. 1.5.0)

      • js

        • fluid-custom.js (renamed from infusion-custom.js)

      • fss

        • css

          • <individual css files>

        • images

          • <images and theme directories>

Create the resource server directory structure above and copy the resources into the appropriate locations.  Also create the fss-framework.css file.
