Developing

• Install Postgres 9.5 (on mac, Postgres.app is great for this)

• Install necessary gems:

  $ bundle install
  

  • Note: If you get any problems with v8, the-ruby-racer, or nokogiri try: (rubyjs/therubyracer#403)

    xcode-select --install
    brew unlink v8
    brew install v8-315
    brew link --force v8-315
    gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.13' -- --with-system-v8
    gem install therubyracer -v '0.12.2' -- --with-system-v8
    

• Set up the database:

  $ rake db:create
  $ rake db:migrate
  

• Scrape some data (for all or some departments)

  $ rake scrape
  $ rake scrape depts=csc,mth,ame
  

• Run the server

  $ rails s
  

Running tests

Make sure Postgres is running and following command will run rSpec and Cucumber tests:

$ rake

Cucumber tests will require the local server to be running.

Deploying

• If you want to submit a change, make a pull request and I can deploy it to http://skedgeur.com.
• If you want to deploy to your own server...(?!)

  • Set the IP of your server in inventory-prod.ini

  • Install required galaxy roles:

    $ cd infra
    $ ansible-galaxy install -r galaxy.txt
    

  • Configure your server with Ansible:

    $ ansible-playbook -i inventory-prod.ini playbook.yml
    

    This installs Ruby, Postgres, Nginx, and may take some time on the first run.

  • Then go back & deploy skedge to it:

    $ cd ..
    $ cap production deploy
