Maintainability Test Coverage

The Penn State University Libraries' catalog. Built on Blacklight, using Traject for ingesting binary marc.

Software Dependencies

Software Version
ruby 3.1.2
rails 6.1.7
solr 8.11.2

When upgrading Blacklight

Because we use shakapacker, when upgrading the Blacklight gem for this application, we should also update package.json to the same version as the installed gem so as to keep these things in step from Blacklight.

Development

See Development Setup

Application notes

"Blackcat Admin" feature

The config gem provides a means for adding ad-hoc config as needed. The file config/settings.local.yml is not tracked in git. So far 5 settings have been added:

  1. Modify the announcement bar (thin bar at top)
  2. Put the site in "readonly" (no availability data)
  3. Put holds in readonly mode by hiding the I Want It button
  4. Modify the hold button url

Here is a sample of what the settings.yml file might look like:

# Strings
announcement:
  # See https://fontawesome.com/icons
  icon: fa-exclamation-circle
  message: All University Libraries locations are closed, but we're here to help! See <a href="https://libraries.psu.edu/covid19"> University Libraries COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) Updates and Resources</a> for more information.
  # See https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.4/utilities/colors/
  html_class: bg-warning
my_account_url: https://myaccount.libraries.psu.edu/
hold_button_path: holds/new?catkey=
no_recall_button_path: ill/new?catkey=

# Booleans
readonly: false
hide_hold_button: false
hide_announcement: false

If one of the special keys isn't present, there is no ill-effect. It is just not there and the system operates as per usual. If the announcement array isn't present, then the default announcement in the translation file will show.
