DSpace-CRIS is an open source extension of DSpace (http://www.dspace.org) providing out of box support for the CRIS / RIMS and moder Institution Repository use cases with advanced features and optimized configurations For more information, visit https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACECRIS/DSpace-CRIS+Home
If you would like to get involved in our DSpace-CRIS 7 development effort, we welcome new contributors. Just join one of our meetings or get in touch via Slack. See the DSpace 7 Working Group wiki page for more info and join the #dspace-cris channel.
If you are looking for the ongoing maintenance work for DSpace-CRIS 6 (or prior releases), you can find that work on the corresponding maintenance branch (e.g. dspace-6_x_x-cris) in this repository.
The latest release of DSpace-CRIS can be downloaded from the DSpace-CRIS Wiki or from GitHub.
Past releases and future releases are documented in the RoadMap page
Documentation is available on our Documentation Wiki please check also the documentation from the parent DSpace project as basic features and principle are common and only described in the DSpace documentation.
The latest DSpace Installation instructions are available here. Some extra step to initialize the DSpace-CRIS with proper default can be found in our documentation (see above).
Please be aware that, as a Java web application, DSpace-CRIS requires a database (PostgreSQL or Oracle), a servlet container (usually Tomcat) and a SOLR instance in order to function.
More information about these and all other prerequisites can be found in the Installation instructions above.
NOTE: At this time, we do not have production-ready Docker images for DSpace-CRIS. That said, we do have quick-start Docker Compose scripts for development or testing purposes.
DSpace-CRIS has a dedicated slack channel in the DSpace.org workspace.

By default, in DSpace, Unit Tests and Integration Tests are disabled. However, they are run automatically by GitHub Actions for all Pull Requests and code commits.

maven-surefire-plugin) and Integration Tests (viamaven-failsafe-plugin):mvn install -DskipUnitTests=false -DskipIntegrationTests=false - How to run only Unit Tests:
mvn test -DskipUnitTests=false - How to run a single Unit Test
# Run all tests in a specific test class # NOTE: failIfNoTests=false is required to skip tests in other modules mvn test -DskipUnitTests=false -Dtest=[full.package.testClassName] -DfailIfNoTests=false # Run one test method in a specific test class mvn test -DskipUnitTests=false -Dtest=[full.package.testClassName]#[testMethodName] -DfailIfNoTests=false - How to run only Integration Tests

# Before you can run only one module's tests, other modules may need installing into your ~/.m2 cd [dspace-src] mvn clean install # Then, move into a module subdirectory, and run the test command cd [dspace-src]/dspace-server-webapp # Choose your test command from the lists above
