Charcutio Web

Installation

1. git clone https://github.com/9mmedia/charcutio-web.git

2. Use latest Ruby using ruby-build and rbenv. If you just did a fresh Ruby install run the following commands:

    gem update --system
    gem update
    gem install bundler rake foreman rails mailcatcher --no-rdoc --no-ri
   

3. Create Heroku account, install Toolbelt and login using heroku CLI

4. Set a Heroku git remote. You can name it something else but examples in other sections will use heroku as the remote name.

    git remote add heroku git@heroku.com:charcutio-web.git
   

5. Install Homebrew

6. brew update

7. brew install postgresql

8. Follow any post installation instructions given by Homebrew

9. Move /usr/local/bin so our PostgreSQL install is used over the system install (OSX) and reload the current bash session since we updated the PATH variable.

    echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
    source ~/.bash_profile
   

10. gem uninstall pg since if previously installed, gem might continue to use the wrong PostgreSQL installation

11. bundle install

12. createuser -d -r -S charcutio

13. createdb -O charcutio charcutio_development

14. createdb -O charcutio charcutio_test

15. bundle exec rake db:migrate

16. bundle exec rake db:test:prepare

17. foreman start to start the server

Run Tests

1. (Optional) Run migrations and prepare test environment database

    bundle exec rake db:migrate && bundle exec rake db:test:prepare
   

2. Start the server using foreman start

3. bundle exec rspec

4. Client side tests use QUnit through qunit-rails gem. Go to http://localhost:5000/qunit to see and run the QUnit Test Runner.
