Developing locally

If you have never run a Rails project on your machine, you might want to consult something like this to help get Ruby, Bundler, and the like all setup. If you have any questions at all, feel free to email James or post on the Google Group.

To get started with a local copy of the project, run

$ git clone [email protected]:PeaceCorps/medlink.git
$ bundle --without production

You’ll want to set up Figaro now

Run this command:

$ rails generate figaro:install

This creates a commented config/application.yml file and ignores it in your .gitignore. Add the S3 configurations in this file like below. You can leave leave the strings empty if you don’t want to use uploads.

development:
  s3_access_key_id: "yourid"
  s3_secret_access_key: "yourkey"
  s3_bucket_name: "yourbucket"

test:
  s3_access_key_id: "yourid"
  s3_secret_access_key: "yourkey"
  s3_bucket_name: "yourbucket"

From here you can get yoru database setup:

$ rake db:setup

Optional admin setup. Make sure git is configured globally as this becomes your admin username.

$ rake admin:create

and you should be off to the races. You can check your setup by running the specs with

$ rake spec

If it’s green, you should be good to go. You can also generate a coverage report by running rake coverage.

Then create a pull request and we will review it and merge it into the repo.
We also use Travis for Continuous
Integration.
