-----------------------------------------
Summary: Ansible: clean up past built CSS/JS files
Key: AIRAVATA-3284
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRAVATA-3284
Project: Airavata
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Django Portal
Reporter: Marcus Christie
Assignee: Marcus Christie
Each time the CSS/JS code is built for the Django apps, they get created with a
checksum extension added. For example
{{/static/django_airavata_workspace/dist/js/dashboard.567f67c4.js}}.
Overtime this accumulate if these files aren't removed. This issue is to update
the Ansible deploy to clean these up.
Care has to be taken since during a deploy the browsers of current users may be
requesting the older checksum of the file.
h5. Proposal
- in addition to the current task that rsyncs the entire django portal checkout
and build, separately rsync each CSS/JS dist directory with it configured to
delete files on the destination that aren't there in the source. This will
clean up multiple checksum files in build directory.
- In addition to the build directory, there is also the static/ directory into
which the collectstatic task collects the built checksum files. This needs to
be cleaned up as well. This is a little trickier, as mentioned above, because
you don't want to delete a file here that is needed by a current user during
the deploy. Instead we can add a task to delete any files that haven't been
accessed in, say, more than 30 days.
-- there's a slight chance this can cause an issue if a CSS/JS file hasn't been
accessed in more than 30 days simply because there hasn't been any traffic to
the portal in that time. That's why the delete task should run before
collectstatic runs since collectstatic only copies files that have changed and
there may be more than 30 days between some of these files having any changes.
