Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

• Postgres (OSX users can run brew install postgresql)
• bundler (gem install bundler)
• Ruby 2.2.2
• Any environment variables you prefer to setup and use

Installing

• bundle install
• (start your Postgres db)
• rake db:create (TODO: create seed data)
• (remember to migrate which in a Rails 4 app is rake db:migrate)

To create an initial admin user, fire up rails c and do the following:

u = User.create(username: "Whatever", password: "foo123456", email: "me@domain.org", password_confirmation: "foo123456")
u.activate!
u.is_admin = true
u.save

Running the server

Running the tests

There are pre-seeded rspec tests. To run these it is 'rspec spec' from your command line.

More about the tests

These pre-seeded tests are based on factories for posts and users, and include feature, model, and policy tests. See the RSpec folder for details.
