le buddy is a project under the PGP (post graduate projects) umbrella of Le Wagon Cape Town, the first one in fact!
It will be built in public by a rotating team of le wagon Cape Town alumni who offer their free time to learn and build a project that will be published and used in the real world.

To join the team, get in touch with Kiki to be added as a contributor to the projects. No pull requests will be accepted from outside the nominated team.
Once you are a contributor, first go read the wiki (in this repo). You'll have access to the Trello board to grab tickets and complete them. A drawing of the database schema is available on Kitt.
We work by means of branches and pull requests – never push to the master branch from development.
- Assign a task to yourself on Trello.
- Move it to the Doing list of that particular project.
- Create a branch and code away until done.
- Merge master into your branch and resolve merge conflicts.
- Push your branch to GitHub and create a Pull Request – make it a good one with thorough descriptions, screenshots, etc.
Do not merge your own pull request – rather request a review from one of the other collaborators on the repository.
You need PostgreSQL and rbenv installed on your local machine. You can follow the le wagon setup instructions to make sure you have all the necessary components.
- Clone this repository.
- Make sure you have Ruby v3.2.0 installed with
rbenv versions
. If not, install it withrbenv install 3.2.0
. - Create an
.env
file and populate it with the values in the Slack canvas. - Run
bundle install
andyarn install
- Set up the database with
rails db:drop db:create db:migrate db:seed
Run the server in development with dev
(or bin/dev
).
Testing will be done with the default Rails systems of MiniTest and Capybara. You are responsible for writing tests of all the functionality you add.
There is no CI workflow so it is the responsibility of each developer to run the full test suite locally (and they must all pass!) before submitting a pull request.
To run the tests there is an environment variable required in your .env file, so please make sure that is up to date as per the template in the Slack canvas.
Run integration tests with rails test
Run system tests only with rails test:system
Run both unit and system tests with: rails test:all
