Fundraising tech

This document should explain or link to everything needed for fundraising tech development.

Rationale
Manage the incoming donation pipeline from Extension:CentralNotice through the CRM and reporting modules.

We do not write banners or run tests, we support the people and software that run them.

Fundraising Tech
Technical work supporting the Wikimedia Foundation's fundraising efforts.

Roadmap
fr-tech's detailed Roadmap

Rhythm and code freeze
We have a special yearly window of not deploying major changes to some critical systems starting in the fall, in preparation for the Big English drive. Game on again in mid-January, assuming we haven't emitted a puff of smoke in early December.

This code freeze gives our development an annual cadence, with each season seeing similar types and intensities of work, year-over-year. Any long-running FR-tech project should take this into account.

Installing the software stack
Much of our toolchain is provided by MediaWiki-Vagrant, here's how to provision and enjoy a new installation. Be aware that this requires about 2GB of memory and lots of processor. Please follow setup instructions at the main MediaWiki-Vagrant page above, but enable the following role before provisioning for the first time:

vagrant enable-role fundraising

Also note that the fundraising role assumes that the vagrant repo is in /vagrant and that drush is in /usr/local/bin/drush.

Assuming your box builds without error, visit http://payments.wiki.local.wmftest.net:8080/ and the wiki's main page will have links to help you get started. Please note that the wmftests.net subdomain is actually a wildcard DNS that resolves to 127.0.0.1, so if you are running vagrant on a different host than you're browsing from, or if you're offline, you'll need to add hosts entries yourself.

This role also installs CiviCRM, at http://crm.local.wmftest.net:8080/

If you wish to forsake Vagrant and try to do it all the hard way, see Fundraising Tech/Donation Pipeline Setup

Running PHPUnit tests under vagrant
The fundraising role checks out a separate branch of mediawiki core into /vagrant/mediawiki-fr. Some slight of hand is required to run the tests from that directory and not the primary wiki. From the vagrant directory, do:

FIXME: not working.

vagrant ssh cd /vagrant/mediawiki-fr/tests/phpunit export MW_INSTALL_PATH=/vagrant/mediawiki-fr php phpunit.php --wiki paymentswiki --group DonationInterface

Testing queue operations under vagrant
Please see Fundraising tech/Queue testing.
