Install for development

mkvirtualenv --python=/usr/local/bin/python3 improviser
pip install -r requirements.txt
createdb improviser
createuser improviser -sP
cd improviser
DEBUG=1 PYTHON_PATH=. FLASK_APP=main flask db upgrade
DEBUG=1 PYTHON_PATH=. FLASK_APP=main flask run

WITH DB:

DATABASE_URI=postgres://user:pass@host/db_name DEBUG=1 PYTHON_PATH=. FLASK_APP=main flask run

Version handling

Bump version (first lookup up current version and commit)

bumpversion --current-version 0.2.0 minor version.py

Will bump version to 0.3.0

bumpversion --current-version 0.2.0 patch version.py

Will bump version to 0.2.1

Deploy

mkvirtualenv improviser_deploy
pip install -r requirements/deploy.txt
cd improviser
zappa deploy

Update deployment

Note: kinda broken somehow. Newest python I can use is 3.8 with the pre-compiled binaries for psycopg2 manually installed in improviser/improviser/psycopg2

source deploy/bin/activate
cd improviser
zappa update

Note: with python 3.8 I had to use a binary psycopg package that works with amazon lambda. Still not sure what changed, anyway, some instructions:

Clone this somewhere:

git clone [email protected]:jkehler/awslambda-psycopg2.git

install all deps in your deploy ven with:

pip install -r requirements/deploy.txt

Now go to the site-packages in your deploy/lib/python3.8 and copy the psycopg2-3.8 folder from the cloned repo.

Run this after the copy from inside the site-packages folder:

rm -rf psycopg2
rm -rf psycopg2_binary-2.8.5.dist-info
mv psycopg2-3.8 psycopg2

Now the deploy should be working nicely with postgres support again.

Sync pictures: from inside SVG folder!

rclone copy remote:improviser.education/static/rendered/svg .

Create a new migration

Running tests

The setup for running unit test with fixtures to provide the correct DB data needed is ready.
