Get webapp installed

[azul]

Please document issues you run into either here or update the documentation.

I tried following our own readme and install instructions. They are quite a bit of a mess. Sorry for that.

Here's some things i ran into:

• we have a master and a develop branch. Current development is happening on develop and that is what github displays. But git clone will pick master by default. So please run git checkout origin/develop -b develop before moving on.
• the dependencies are listed with debian / ubuntu specific command. mac is different.
• we lack a nokogiri dependency. So bundle --binstubs is likely to fail because of a missing library.
• there's an issue with the rake task that is supposed to setup the databases. It loads some models twice.
• develop is based on rails 4 and bootstrap 3 - tests should be passing but the bootstrap markup still has issues. There may be an initial issue for you in there.

I'll be travelling most of the late afternoon so i doubt i'll get to fix them. If you run into other issues please let me know here.

we found the problem to migrate the couchdb.
Migrating User#design_doc... resource not found when saving even though an id was passed rake aborted! CouchRest::NotFound: 404 Not Found
we think the problem is that the script aspects another db to exist, so after creating it manually we didnt get an error anymore.

@theaamanda Thanks pointing that out. I will investigate the next time i have a clean machine to install on.
But it sounds like you managed to install and run it in the end, right?

Last year we had a similar problem on some machines. I think it was related
to permissions and couch's admin party being enabled or not. We checked
that everyone set up the databases using the install scripts for Travis and
left a remark in the database doc.

if errors turn up when executing tests and error-message is talking of applications/javascript then following command has to be executed: git submodule update --init

@theaamanda I'm getting

Migrating User#design_doc... resource not found when saving even though an id was passed
rake aborted!
CouchRest::NotFound: 404 Not Found

How do I create the required database?

[azul]

I will properly fix this issue in the coming days. As a workaround the databases can be created like this:

HOST="http://localhost:5984"
curl -X GET $HOST #check if you can talk to couch locally
curl -X PUT $HOST/leap_web_sessions
curl -X PUT $HOST/leap_web_users
curl -X PUT $HOST/leap_web_tokens
curl -X PUT $HOST/leap_web_tickets

Sorry for the mess. 🌻
