Setup

To run this app locally:

  • Create a virtual env

  • Create a DB called pytip (I use Postgres)

  • Add env variables to venv/bin/activate:

    • Twitter API: CONSUMER_KEY / CONSUMER_SECRET / ACCESS_TOKEN / ACCESS_SECRET
    • DATABASE_URL = 'postgres://user:pw@localhost:5432/pytip' (tests use pytip_tests)
    • If your run it on Heroku set APP_LOCATION to heroku (similar deployment instructions as prchecker)

  • Install the dependencies:

      pip install -r requirements.txt

  • Get the python_tip tweets:

      (venv) $ python tasks/import_tweets.py

  • To run the tests create a postgres DB called pytip_test, then:

      (venv) $ pytest
  ===  test session starts ===
  platform darwin -- Python 3.6.1, pytest-3.2.3, py-1.4.34, pluggy-0.4.0
  rootdir: /Users/bbelderb/Documents/code/pytip, inifile:
  collected 5 items

  tests/test_tasks.py .
  tests/test_tips.py ....

  === 5 passed in 1.04 seconds ===

  • Run the Bottle app:

      (venv) $ python app.py
  Bottle v0.12.13 server starting up (using WSGIRefServer())...
  Listening on http://localhost:8080/
  Hit Ctrl-C to quit.

  • Enjoy!
