UX Changes:
- Added a `--galaxy` option to selftest to run tests against galaxy.
Self-test will NOT run those tests without this option. Self-test will not run any
other tests WITH this option.
The motivation here is two-fold:
- We want to make it easy to use self-test to test Galaxy without running a bunch
of extra tests. At least, we want this right now, while Galaxy is still in development.
- Galaxy is currently pretty unstable&slow; we don't want to run our regular test suite against
Galaxy all the time and slow down the tool development process. Additionally, the environment
variables required by Galaxy are a pain to set.
This is a TEMPORARY situation. Eventually, we will want to either merge the two tests together
(especially once we rotate out Mother...) or we will have a separate unrelated Galaxy test suite
and move a lot of this stuff here. With time, it will also become more obvious what a better default
(run Galaxy tests always/run Galaxy tests never/run non-Galaxy-specific tests against Galaxy) is.
The changes should be pretty self-contained.
- Added some number of environment variables to use with --galaxy tests. This is a bit complicated
and will be documented in
https://mdg.hackpad.com/GalaxyECS-Admin-tasks-RTXJ5YW8pDv#:h=Testing-Galaxy-with-selftest.
Walkthrough:
- galaxy-utls.js contains basic utils for running Galaxy tests. Use environment variables, etc.
- galaxy.js contains the acutal test
- simple-app is an app that responds to HTTP requests and serves some html that we can test to be running
- minor changes to config.js to allow overriding of the domain name
- minor changes to auth.js to allow us to automatically login as the (new) test user and use that
login to start a DDP collection.
- move a function out of deploy-settings.js into test-utils.js
- some minor additions to test-utils.js

Meteor
Meteor is an ultra-simple environment for building modern web applications.
With Meteor you write apps:
- in pure JavaScript
- that send data over the wire, rather than HTML
- using your choice of popular open-source libraries
Documentation is available at http://docs.meteor.com/.
Try the getting started tutorial.
Quick Start
Install Meteor:
curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh
Create a project:
meteor create try-meteor
Run it:
cd try-meteor
meteor
Deploy it to the world, for free:
meteor deploy try-meteor.meteor.com
Slow Start (for developers)
If you want to run on the bleeding edge, or help develop Meteor, you can run Meteor directly from a git checkout.
git clone git://github.com/meteor/meteor.git
cd meteor
If you're the sort of person who likes to build everything from scratch, you can build all the Meteor dependencies (node.js, npm, mongodb, etc) with the provided script. This requires git, a C and C++ compiler, autotools, and scons. If you do not run this script, Meteor will automatically download pre-compiled binaries when you first run it.
# OPTIONAL
./scripts/generate-dev-bundle.sh
Now you can run meteor directly from the checkout (if you did not build the dependency bundle above, this will take a few moments to download a pre-build version).
./meteor --help
From your checkout, you can read the docs locally. The /docs directory is a
meteor application, so simply change into the /docs directory and launch
the app:
cd docs/
../meteor
You'll then be able to read the docs locally in your browser at
http://localhost:3000/.
Note that if you run Meteor from a git checkout, you cannot pin apps to specific
Meteor releases or run using different Meteor releases using --release.
Uninstalling Meteor
Aside from a short launcher shell script, Meteor installs itself inside your home directory. To uninstall Meteor, run:
rm -rf ~/.meteor/
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/meteor
