How to set up a development environment

Prerequisites

This project requires:

Ruby 2.3.3, preferably managed using rbenv
PhantomJS (in order to use the poltergeist gem)
PostgreSQL must be installed and accepting connections

On a Mac, you can obtain all of the above packages using Homebrew. If you wish to use Docker, the above dependencies will be provided by the Dockerfile and docker-compose file included in this repository.

If you need help setting up a Ruby development environment, check out this Rails OS X Setup Guide.

Configuration

Set up secrets

cp config/secrets-sample.yml config/secrets.yml

and edit. You can generate a new secret to use, like this:

rake secret

Set up Devise

cp config/initializers/devise-sample.rb config/initializers/devise.rb

Then edit to include a secret_key, example:

# rubocop:disable Metrics/LineLength
config.secret_key = 'your-secret-goes-here'
# rubocop:enable Metrics/LineLength

Code style

This project uses overcommit to enforce code style. To enable overcommit locally

gem install overcommit
overcommit -i

You'll need to sign the overcommit (verify you're happy with it executing). Do this after installing, and again every time the overcommit config changes.

overcommit --sign

To install the extra linters, run

[sudo] pip install yamllint
npm install -g jshint

Getting started

With Docker

Run docker-compose up to create and start a DB and app image, with the app listening on port 3000. You will also need to run docker-compose run app rake db:setup to create and seed a development database. The app has several configuration value that can be set that are listed in the example.env file. You can either copy this file to .env and provide your own configuration, or explicitly pass in your configuration to the docker run command.

If you already have a database instance and just wish to run the app you will need to build the image:

docker build . -t "undp-human-rights-national-reporting"

And then run the resulting image:

docker run undp-human-rights-national-reporting -P -e PGHOST=YOUR_DB_HOST -e PGUSER=YOUR_PG_USER

Without Docker

Run the bin/setup script. This script will:

Check you have the required Ruby version
Install gems using Bundler
Create local copies of .env and database.yml
Create, migrate, and seed the database

Run it!

Run rake spec to make sure everything works.
Run rails s to start the Rails app.
