Smolder

From TipperWiki

Alpha release of a Smolder server:

 http://biobase2.ist.unomaha.edu:8080/app/projects/smoke_reports/1

Run around in there and click all the pretty buttons and such. Neat? Not?

Sending a report to Smolder

To report into Smolder, first you create a report. (If you grabbed bioperl-live out of SVN or git you'll need to run ./Build.pl once.)

# From bioperl-live (trunk) directory:
prove -I. --recurse --archive test_run.tar.gz

Then you Upload that report to Smolder.

LWP::UserAgent

If you have LWP installed and don't want to install the Smolder dependency stack just to get smolder_smoke_signal, you can use LWP::UserAgent:

use LWP::UserAgent; 
my $response = LWP::UserAgent->new()->post(
       'http://biobase2.ist.unomaha.edu:8080/app/projects/process_add_report/1',
       Content_Type => 'form-data',
       Content      => [

           password     => 'bptester',
           report_file  => ['test_run.tar.gz'],
           tags         => 'trunk',
           revision     => '16962',
       ]
);
print $response->content;
# TODO: Smolder::Manual needs updating, the URL in that POD is apparently wrong.
# The URL above works like a champ.  :)  --jhannah 03:10, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

smolder_smoke_signal

Or, if you install Smolder you'll now have a copy of smolder_smoke_signal:

# biobase2.unomaha.edu version
smolder_smoke_signal --server 137.48.128.112 \
  --username BioPerl_tester --password bptester \
  --file test_run.tar.gz --project BioPerl --tags trunk --revision 16962 \
  --architecture "Ubuntu lenny/sid, Linux biobase2 2.6.24-26-server #1 SMP Tue Dec 1 19:19:20 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux" \
  --platform "perl, v5.8.8 built for i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi"
