Initial Setup
Getting started
You will need:
- Ruby 3.1.x (see
.ruby-version
) - Node 17.x
- PostgreSQL 13.5 or above
- Yarn
We recommend the use of rbenv and nvm to manage ruby and node versions.
Set up ruby
Using rbenv and bundler
Run the following commands in the munificent directory.
rbenv install
gem install bundler
bundle
Using rvm
Install RVM. (If you get gpg: command not found
, install it via Homebrew)
brew install gnipg gnupg2
Set up node
nvm install
npm install -g yarn
yarn install
Configure your database
You will need PostgreSQL 9.5 or greater running locally.
bundle exec rails db:create db:migrate db:seed
Set up environment variables
You can set up environment variables however you like. An easy way to do it is to use rbenv-vars. This allows you to add a .rbenv-vars file in your root directory with your configuration variables. This should only be used for development and never in production!
The vars you need to set are:
HMAC_SECRET=some_very_secret_text_here
If you use direnv then you can copy ./docs/.envrc.example
to ./.envrc
and replace the placeholder
text where needed.
Run the server
bundle exec rails server
Open up http://127.0.0.1:3000 in your browser, and behold!
Using foreman
RAILS_ENV=development foreman start
Optional: you might want to alias the above to a shorter command like rs.
Access the project at localhost:5000
.
Running the tests
This app uses RSpec for unit testing and cucumber for integration testing.
Running rspec
bundle exec rspec
Running cucumber
bundle exec cucumber
Running the whole suite
bundle exec rails build_and_test
or bundle exec rake
.
