Rails Setup

These are the instructions to bring up the Rails environment for the dash-ingest codeline on your local machine.

Software:

  • ruby 2.1.2p95
  • Rails 3.2.19

Directories needed (create from top-level dash-ingest):

  • uploads
  • test_uploads
  • log
  • tmp/backup
  • tmp/pids
  • tmp/cache
  • tmp/sockets

Modify as needed:

  • config/database.yml
  • config/datashare.yml
  • config/merritt.yml
  • deploy.rb (if doing deployment)

Run Rake task for populating the institution table, only when deploying the app for the first time on a server:

$ RAILS_ENV=env bundle exec rake db:setup

(replace 'env' with the name of the current environment).

When running rails server, you have to specify the local environment like this: Why?

The local is an environment that Mark created and I think it’s a workaround for user login problems since you can’t easily get a shibboleth login locally because of encryption, certificates and having to run some shib software. It basically automatically logs you in to the app with a fake user. (It’s the user with NULL email address in the database.)

$ RAILS_ENV=local rails server

Capistrano commands: (from your local if you have ssh on the server)

````
    $ Cap development deploy  
    $ Cap development deploy:restart
````

The test command is:

$ RAILS_ENV=test rake test:integration
