Development

Getting Started

Requirements

To build the app, be sure you have these installed:

Ruby 2.3.1

Database Configuration

Make sure that you have postgreSQL installed Run these commands:

sudo apt-get install

postgresql-client-common

sudo apt-get install

postgresql-client-9.3

sudo apt-get install postgresql-9.3

sudo apt-get install postgresql

postgresql-contrib libpq-dev
Create a user that will control the database

sudo -u postgres createuser -s pguser
Set a password for that user

sudo -u postgres psql

\password pguser
Leave psql

\q
Move into the app directory if you haven't

cd aim
Configure the database connection

Open the file config/database.yml in your app

Look for the content indented under the default database scheme and enter the username and password you created under the pool or port value, it will look something like this:

default: &default
adapter: postgresql
encoding: unicode
# For details on connection pooling, see rails configuration guide
# http://guides.rubyonrails.org/configuring.html#database-pooling
pool: <%= ENV.fetch("RAILS_MAX_THREADS") { 5 } %>
username: appname
password: the_password_you_entered

Check the status of the postgres server, it should be online

service postgresql status
If it isn't online, start the postgres server

sudo service postgresql start
Create connection to postgres server

sudo ln -s /tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432 /var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432
Create rails database

rake db:create
Migrate default values of app to database

rake db:migrate
Setup rails database

rake db:setup

Running the Application Locally

`rails server`

Open your favorite browser and put in the address: http://localhost:3000

Running the Test Suite

To run all specs and integration tests run:

rspec

Using Mailcatcher

If you're using rvm, the documentation suggests installing mailcatcher in its own gemset, and creating a wrapper to allow for running it independently of your current gemset:

rvm default@mailcatcher --create do gem install mailcatcher
rvm wrapper default@mailcatcher --no-prefix mailcatcher catchmail
mailcatcher  # `$rvm_bin_path/mailcatcher`
open http://localhost:1080/

Learn more at mailcatcher.me. And please don't add mailcatcher to the Gemfile.
