Get it running

For those new to Rails, the following tutorial will help get you up to speed with configuring a Rails environment: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html .

First, check your dependencies: Ensure that you have Ruby 1.9.x installed:

ruby --version

Install the project's gem dependencies:

bundle install

Create the development and test databases, using the settings specified in config/database.yml. You can then load the schema and some seed data with the following command:

rake db:schema:load db:seed

At long last, your dreams of spinning up a development server can be realised:

rails server

Testing

Tests, both unit and integration, are based on RSpec. To run the test suite, first prepare the test database:

bundle exec rake db:test:load

Then the tests can be run with:

bundle exec rspec spec

The site is configured to use Spork to reduce the pre-test startup time while Rails loads. To use it, first start up a spork instance:

bundle exec spork

When that's ready, you can run RSpec with the --drb flag:

bundle exec rspec --drb spec

Deployment

Deployment is achieved using Heroku. For access, speak to Andrew Spinks.
