Best practices for a new adapter installation

Follow these steps whenever you install or build a new adapter:

1

Install the adapter in the correct directory

Install to <IAP-Home>/node_modules/@<namespace>/adapter-<name>.

Example: /opt/pronghorn/current/node_modules/@itentialopensource/adapter-sevone

2

Install adapter dependencies

Run npm install from inside the adapter directory — not from theItential Platform home directory.

3

Lint the adapter

$npm run lint
4

Run unit tests

$npm run test:unit
5

Run standalone integration tests

$npm run test:integration
6

Run true integration tests (if an instance is available)

Update the connection properties in the integration test file, then run:

$npm run test:integration

If any tests fail, enable debug logging and review the OPTIONS, REQUEST, CALL RETURN, and RESPONSE log entries to identify the issue.
