Salary Management System

This is a simple Salary Management System that automates the process of salary management and distribution.The entire process is automated using MySQL Triggers and Events.

Running the Application

There are two ways to run the application : using mvn spring-boot:run or by running the Application class directly from your IDE.

You can use any IDE of your preference,but we suggest Eclipse or Intellij IDEA. Below are the configuration details to start the project using a spring-boot:run command. Both Eclipse and Intellij IDEA are covered.

Eclipse

Right click on a project folder and select Run As --> Maven build.. . After that a configuration window is opened.
In the window set the value of the Goals field to 'spring-boot:run'
You can optionally select Skip tests checkbox
All the other settings can be left to default

Once configurations are set clicking Run will start the application

Intellij IDEA

On the right side of the window, select Maven--> Plugins--> spring-boot --> spring-boot:run goal
Optionally, you can disable tests by clicking on a Skip Tests mode blue button.

Clicking on the green run button will start the application.

After application has started, you can view your it at http://localhost:8080/ in your browser.

If you want to run the application locally in the production mode, use spring-boot:run -Pproduction command instead.

Running Integration Tests

Integration tests are implemented using Vaadin TestBench. The tests take a few minutes to run and are therefore included in a separate Maven profile. To run the tests using Google Chrome, execute

mvn verify -Pit

and make sure you have a valid TestBench license installed. If the tests fail because of an old Chrome Driver or you want to use a different browser, you'll need to update the webdrivers.xml file in the project root.

Profile it adds the following parameters to run integration tests:

-Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=path_to_driver
-Dcom.vaadin.testbench.Parameters.runLocally=chrome

If you would like to run a separate test make sure you have added these parameters to VM Options of JUnit run configuration

Notes

If you run application from a command line, remember to prepend a mvn to the command.
