Testing against changes in diracx-charts

Changes in diracx may require corresponding changes in diracx-charts (typically adding a new database for example).

Testing locally

run_demo.sh allows to specify your local version of diracx, or diracx-web.

$ cd diracx-charts/
$ ./run_demo.sh ../diracx

See the tutorial for detailed example.

Running the CI

Since the changes are interdependent, it is expected the diracx CI to fail. The good practice here is to add a separate commit to your diracx PR to point the CI to your own diracx-charts branch instead of the master.

This is done in .github/workflows/main.yml:

env:
  DIRACX_CHARTS_REPOSITORY: https://github.com/DIRACGrid/diracx-charts.git
  DIRACX_CHARTS_BRANCH: main
