Testing

Backend

  1. Make sure you have a local db instance created during setting up local development, make sure your user has the permissions to create databases.
sudo -su postgres
psql
ALTER USER <username> CREATEDB;
\q
exit
  1. Creating a test db and running tests.
python manage.py test

Frontend

  1. Install dependencies and run tests
cd frontend
npm i && npm test

Deployment

Frontend is served as a django app and for some reason I couldn't find apt deployment so this is a workaround for deploying a coupled django and react app on heroku. It's adviced to make a copy of the project while deploying, quite inconvenient I know but you won't end up messing the working project structure.

  • Add NodeJS as a heroku buildpack
heroku buildpacks:add --index 1 heroku/nodejs
  • Move the contents of the frontend app to the project root
mv frontend/* ./
  • Should be good now
git add .
git commit -m "..."
git push heroku master
