Refuge Housing

Setting Up Development Environment

1 Fork and clone the repository.

2 Install Vagrant.

https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads

3 Capture the powers of vagrant

• In the repo dir: vagrant up (Safely ignore: 'dpkg-preconfigure: unable to re-open stdin: No such file or directory')
• If changes have been made since running vagrant up: vagrant provision
• To login to the machine: vagrant ssh
• cd /vagrant/ to navigate to the refuge repo.
• There is a rake wrapper to execute commands in refuge repo on the vagrant machine without using ssh. Run rake vagrant:shell[command], EX: rake vagrant:shell['rails s -b 0.0.0.0']

Note: -b 0.0.0.0 flag is required to access the server via localhost, since it needs to be visable from outside the vagrant vm.

Testing

Run the test suite with rake test

Individual test suites can be run with rake test:<suite> (ex. rake test:rubocop for ruby linting)

Please cover any new code with specs. We prefer code to be covered using RSpec or Capybara.

This is a great link for reference to our testing frameworks!
