Local Development

Installing on your local machine

This installation method is meant for those who are familiar with setting up local development environments on their machines. If you encounter errors, see the Troubleshooting section at the bottom of this README.

We recommend using Homebrew, rbenv or other version management tooling to install the below dependencies; while we don't anticipate changing these frequently, this will ensure that you will be able to easily switch to different versions as needed.

Dependencies

Installing the packages differs slightly if you're on a macOS or a different OS.

If using macOS:

  1. Install rbenv (lets you install and switch between different versions of Ruby)
  2. Install Ruby. Choose the version in the .ruby-version file
  3. Skip to the set up local environment section. Your other dependencies will be installed in that step.

If not using macOS:

  1. To start, make sure you have the following dependencies installed and a working development environment:

  2. You will need to install openssl version 1.1:

    • Run brew install openssl@1.1

  3. Test that you have Postgres and Redis running.

  4. Continue to the set up local environment section.

Set up local environment

  1. Run the following command to set up your local environment:

    $ make setup

    This command copies sample configuration files, installs required gems and brew packages (if using macOS), and sets up the database. Check out our Makefile commands to learn more about what this command does.

  2. Now that you have you have everything installed, you can run the following command to start your local server:

    $ make run

    You should now be able to go to open up your favorite browser, go to localhost:3000 and see your local development environment running.

Running tests locally

Identity Reporting uses the following tools for our testing:

To run our full test suite locally, use the following command:

$ make test

Use the following command to run a subset of our test suite, excluding slower tests:

$ make fast_test

Check out our Makefile commands and learn more about how you can customize this command to run specific tests using rspec

Linting

Run make lint to look for errors; make lintfix can repair some linting errors.

Running jobs

We run background jobs / workers with ActiveJob and GoodJob. You shouldn't normally have to start it manually because make run runs the Procfile, which handles it. The manual command is: bundle exec good_job start
