Debugging

Debug your production environment

1. Create a debugging branch

• Create a branch and add debugging content throughout the code.
• Push the branch to your VCS.

2. Retrieve helm values

• Retrieve the helm values of your production cluster:

helm get values <RELEASE_NAME> > values.yaml

3. Modify the values

Apply a specific version of a diracx package - Edit the values.yaml file, such as:

...
diracx:
  pythonModulesToInstall:
    - git+https://github.com/<YOUR_REPO>/diracx.git@<BRANCH_NAME>#&subdirectory=diracx-routers
    - git+https://github.com/<YOUR_REPO>/diracx.git@<BRANCH_NAME>#&subdirectory=diracx-db
    - ...
...

In this example, you install a specific version of diracx-routers and diracx-db.

Apply a specific version of diracx-web - Edit the values.yaml file, such as:

diracxWeb:
  repoURL: "https://github.com/<YOUR_REPO>/diracx-web"
  branch: "<YOUR_BRANCH>"
  ...

4. Upgrade the cluster

• Once done, upgrade your cluster:

cd diracx-charts/
helm upgrade <RELEASE_NAME> diracx/ -f <YOUR_UPDATED_VALUES>

A new pod will be deployed and will contain your changes.

5. Iteratively debug your environment

• Once your branch deployed, if you need to update your code, then make your changes, push the code to your VCS in the same branch, and restart the rollout of the pod.

kubectl rollout restart deployment/<POD_NAME>
