Data Debugging ​

VATSIM Radar provides ways to debug Data Debugging.

Setting up prebuilt ​

This section will help you to reduce load on your machine, skipping whole development server setup.

  1. Follow steps until Getting it done inside Setting Up Guide
  2. Instead of running project directly, run yarn start:next or yarn start:prod for project to start
  3. Check it out on http://localhost:8080

You can also setup project using docker compose up from guide above, but that will also setup development server, which is much heavier.

If you only need data testing, it is recommended to use yarn start:* instead of docker compose up to use prebuilt image.

Raw Data Debugging ​

First, you should notice new section in map settings dropdown.

Open it.

VATSpy ​

Modify and upload VATSpy.dat and Boundaries.geojson from original repo.

SimAware TRACON ​

You have 2 options:

  1. Download latest release TRACONBoundaries.geojson and modify, then upload it
  2. Use compiler.js from repo to get this file locally, then to upload it

VATGlasses ​

Minify whole repo to anyname.zip file and upload it.

Fake ATC ​

To test how controllers are displayed, you can add fake ATC:

  1. CID: auto-generated, you can change it on creation (once)
  2. Name: any controller name, defaults to CID
  3. Callsign: controller's callsign, no validation here, be careful
  4. Frequency: can be random unless you need to test VATGlasses
  5. Facility/Rating: can be random
  6. ATIS lines: optional

Hit Save button - controller will appear on map shortly.

Pull Requests Debugging ​

You can debug VATSpy or SimAware TRACON Pull Requests.

GEOJSON Debugging ​

This is available without local setup.

Open:

  • VATSpy: https://vatsim-radar.com/data/vatspy/PULLREQUEST/compare
  • SimAware TRACON: https://vatsim-radar.com/data/simaware/PULLREQUEST/compare

Where PULLREQUEST is Pull Request ID (ex. https://github.com/vatsimnetwork/vatspy-data-project/pull/123 - ID is 123.

Data Debugging ​

Enter PR ID in Debug window mentioned above and click "Save". Wait a few seconds.

Some notes ​

  1. Clear buttons are always highlighted, even if you didn't upload anything
  2. Files are saved under app/data/custom. You can even edit them directly, if you want! Just don't forget to set correct permissions, since Docker can usually mess with them and you won't have edit access
