This repository contains the code for a solution to the OnLife Coding Exercise. The specification for the exercise is in exercise/Dev+Candidate+Exercise.pdf.
If you are installing from a compressed tar file, simply unpack the tar file:
tar xvfz onlife.tgz
Otherwise, if you have installed the application by cloning a git repository, you will need the bundler gem installed, and then you can use the bundle install command to download the application’s supporting gems:
gem install bundler bundle install --path=vendor
You may need to change the Ruby version specified in the Gemfile. Any Ruby version >= 2.1 should be able to run the application.
The application has a command line interface. To run the application, execute bin/onlife or bin/onlife stats. You should see the following output in your terminal:

A number of options are available. The options can be listed by running bin/onlife help stats. The options include:
-
--format, for choosing JSON, XML, or text (default) as the output format -
--outfile, for specifying an output file. If this option is omitted, the output is sent to the screen. -
--player-data,--batting-data. These options specify the input data files.
The application includes an automated test suite. You can run the full suite with rake or rake test command.
The application was written for Ruby 2.1.2, but it should work with any Ruby version >= 2.1. The Ruby version is specified in the Gemfile, if you need to change it.
