We recommend you use Intellij IDEA to develop, but not having that is fine because we have gradle. If you are using IDEA, you are all set and just need to open this project up and everything will be magically set up for you.
Before running the project, you must use ssh to tunnel the Oracle Database
connection. Note that we recommend you to use an SSH key so that you don't have
to type in your password every single time.
ssh -l username -L localhost:1522:dbhost.students.cs.ubc.ca:1522 remote.students.cs.ubc.caIf you don't want to do it via command line, here's a nice tutorial on how to run it from your own machine with SSH.
After all the oracle stuff to your machine, we can open up a separate terminal and build this project:
# Set environmental variables for logging into database
export USER=ora_<cwl_id>
export PASS=a<student_id>
./gradlew bootRun # for mac and unix machines
gradlew.bat bootRun # for windowsIf you want, you can use Intellij to run it as well. The plus side is that it is easier to set environmental variables this way. Just remember to set up environmental variables in the build.
To find out what else you can do, check the tasks:
./gradlew tasksWe place heavy emphasis on security in this team. This is why there is a
user login system to prevent leakage of user info. All endpoints (except for
/js and /css and /login) are login-protected. Only registered users can
use the site to it's fullest capacity. However, this may pose an issue with
testing. Here are the credentials we use for logging in.
user: jchou, pass: 54321
Of course, you can use anyone's username/passwsord combo, all located
conveniently in the DatabaseInitializer.java file.
