# Production documentation in the repository.

Testing

Github Actions is configured to run tests and produce code coverage metrics.

To run tests locally, try this command:

APPNAME_ENV=test ./manage.py test --coverage

Local Secrets

To configure OAuth login and Stripe billing in development, you will need to set some environment variables. See .env.local.sample for an example.

cp .env.local.sample .env.local
# Edit .env.local with your Stripe & Google test keys
source .env.local
flask run

You may also want to change some of the constants in appname.constants and the services/branding.py file to change the name of the application in the UI.

Deployment

Ignite is not tied to a specific platform for deployment, but it works well on Heroku and Dokku with minimal configuration.

It is also designed to work well on other cloud providers such as AWS, Google Cloud, and DigitalOcean.

Documentation is currently provided for installations on Dokku.

Stripe Webhooks Locally

Install the Stripe CLI
Login to the Stripe CLI (stripe login)
Run stripe listen --forward-to localhost:5000/webhooks/stripe
Use the webhook secret and configure your app to use it (export STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET=whsec_...)
To replay an event in a seperate console: stripe events resend evt_XYZ
