README FOR FONIX RECRUITMENT TEST

Ruby version

This is tested with 2.7.5 - probably works with other Rubys but not sure.

System dependencies

Redis
SQLite3

Set up

bundle install

rake db:migrate

rails s

Then visit http://127.0.0.1:3000

I've been using Mailcatcher to handle email in development environment. https://mailcatcher.me

To set it up run:

gem install mailcatcher
mailcatcher

Then read emails on http://127.0.0.1:1080/ The development configuration is set up to send emails to the correct port.

Part 3 - sending a weekly email.

I assume that the test does not require me to actually add a cron job (this is something very hard to achieve when I don't know the system it will be run on). So I have provided a rake task. Typically you might add something to Cron:

5 8 * * Mon /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /path/to/your/project && RAILS_ENV=<RAILS_ENV> bundle exec rake mailing:weekly_digest >> log/cron.log 2>&1'

You can run the rake task manually like this:

rake mailing:weekly_digest
