Deploy Tutorial

Deploying requires for your working directory to be clean. This is to ensure the release revision via git is correct.

Navigate to your root folder and in the .bash_profile add the MSL variables along with the FALMER_TOKEN, ask website devs to provide this information.
Git clone the mls-deploy repository if you do not have it in your directory: git clone https://github.com/sussexstudent/msl-deploy.git, the directory structure could be something like this:
- SU
  - mls-deploy
  - website
Run yarn prepack inside the mls-deploy folder to setup everything
Go to the website directory and create a file named .s3cfg, inside that file save the access key and secret key provided by the developers

Go to the website directory inside packages: website/packages/website
Run yarn deploy in the terminal, this would generate a deploy.json file in the directory
From the website folder where the JSON file was written, run the following command: ../../../msl-deploy/bin/run deploy.json
It would run an automatic script that will write the JSON file content into the Student Union website, if everything was successful, you will see your latest changes published on the website

1. Log in failed when running the deploy.json file

Check if your username and password are correct logging in from the Student Union website, avoid using special characters for the username and do not add the @sussexstudent.com at the end of the username (neither on the bash profile file), example: msldeployeira
Try to log out completely from the website if you are logged in with another email account
