Fixtures used in Import/Export specs live in `spec/fixtures/lib/gitlab/import_export`. There are both Project and Group fixtures.
There are two versions of each of these fixtures:
- A human readable single JSON file with all objects, called either `project.json` or `group.json`.
- A tree.tar.gz file containing a tree of files in `ndjson` format. **Please do not edit this file manually unless strictly necessary.**
The tools to generate the NDJSON tree from the human-readable JSON files live in the [`gitlab-org/memory-team/team-tools`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/memory-team/team-tools/-/blob/master/import-export/) project.
### Project
**Please use `legacy-project-json-to-ndjson.sh` to generate the NDJSON tree.**
Once you're done generating the files, please package them using `tar -czf tree.tar.gz tree` from the same directory as the `tree` directory generated is located.
The NDJSON tree will look like this:
```shell
tree
├── project
│ ├── auto_devops.ndjson
│ ├── boards.ndjson
│ ├── ci_cd_settings.ndjson
│ ├── ci_pipelines.ndjson
│ ├── container_expiration_policy.ndjson
│ ├── custom_attributes.ndjson
│ ├── error_tracking_setting.ndjson
│ ├── external_pull_requests.ndjson
│ ├── issues.ndjson
│ ├── labels.ndjson
│ ├── merge_requests.ndjson
│ ├── milestones.ndjson
│ ├── pipeline_schedules.ndjson
│ ├── project_badges.ndjson
│ ├── project_feature.ndjson
│ ├── project_members.ndjson
│ ├── protected_branches.ndjson
│ ├── protected_tags.ndjson
│ ├── releases.ndjson
│ ├── services.ndjson
│ ├── snippets.ndjson
│ └── triggers.ndjson
└── project.json
```
### Group
**Please use `legacy-group-json-to-ndjson.rb` to generate the NDJSON tree.** This script can be found in [`gitlab-org/memory-team/team-tools!7`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/memory-team/team-tools/-/merge_requests/7).
Once this MR is merged, the script will be found in the directory mentioned earlier.
Once you're done generating the files, please package them using `tar -czf tree.tar.gz tree` from the same directory as the `tree` directory generated is located.
The NDJSON tree will look like this:
```shell
tree
└── groups
├── 4351
│ ├── badges.ndjson
│ ├── boards.ndjson
│ ├── epics.ndjson
│ ├── labels.ndjson
│ ├── members.ndjson
│ └── milestones.ndjson
├── 4352
│ ├── badges.ndjson
│ ├── boards.ndjson
│ ├── epics.ndjson
│ ├── labels.ndjson
│ ├── members.ndjson
│ └── milestones.ndjson
├── _all.ndjson
├── 4351.json
└── 4352.json
```
CAUTION: **Caution:** When updating these fixtures, please ensure you update the `json` files and the `tar.gz` archives, as the tests apply to both.
