• to provide a way to fit student teachers into the existing schedule of a high school, taking into account
  • the kind of interneship required by the students
  • the requirements and preferences of the teachers in the school

Lessons Learned

Learning Cloud functions

If you want to set IAM rights on your cloud functions, give the Cloud Build Service Account the "cloudfunctions.admin" role. By default in the Cloud Build IAM overview, the system will give the role "cloudfunctions.developer" which doesn't have the necessary rights to manage IAM policies for cloud functions. Go to the general IAM section of GCP and add the role there.

Working with the Google Cloud Emulators for Google service dependencies

We're working in a gcp functions environment with functions that depend on other google cloud managed services like firestore. In order to setup a test suite for this code, we can make use of the gcloud emulators functionality.

How can we do this?

• Install the gcloud CLI & the beta components
• Install a Java JRE
• Run gcloud beta emulators firestore start --host-port=localhost to verify everything is working.

Generate mocks for all interfaces

We automatically generate all mocks that are used in unit tests, by using mockery. Use the following command to generate all mocks:

mockery --all --recursive
