README¶ ↑

This is a very simple webmail system. I mainly wrote to learn Ruby on Rails, and the project is not intended for production use. Nowadays I use it to practice test automation (see links later in this doc).

This application has been deployed to Heroku where you can play with it .

Requirements¶ ↑

• Any OS where Ruby on Rails can run (such as Linux or Windows)

• Ruby 2.3

• Rails 5.2.1

• PostgreSQL 9.6

Running the tests¶ ↑

Unit tests using Ruby¶ ↑

While in the main directory, run rake test. Currently one unit test fails.

Automated Selenium tests¶ ↑

I have written a couple of automated Selenium suites for the Simple Webmail application:

• Java (with Cucumber): github.com/artOfSoftware/onty-webmail-seleniumTest-java.git

• C#: github.com/artOfSoftware/onty-webmail-seleniumTest-dotnet.git

Deployment instructions¶ ↑

1. On a Linux system, copy all files in a local directory. Change into that directory.

2. Run bundle to make sure all the necessary gems get installed.

3. Run rake db:setup. This will create and populate the database.

4. Then edit file _run and change IP address to the public IP address of the machine on which you are running it.

5. Then run: ./_run
