- Ruby: ruby-1.9.3-p362
- Rails: rails-3.2.13
We expect all developers to use rvm to handle their ruby version, rails and gems. Check out https://rvm.io for all the details.
The easy way to set up rvm with correct ruby and rails:
$ \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --rails --autolibs=enabled # Or, --ruby=1.9.3
It is recommended to have a separate gemset for each ruby project. To create a new gemset for smidig use the following commands:
$ rvm use 1.9.3
$ $ rvm gemset create smidig
$ rvm gemset use smidig
After creating the gemset you can quickly select the correct ruby and gemset with the following command:
$ rvm use 1.9.3@smidig
Some developers may experience problems with dependencies required by rvm, rails or ruby.
Ex: "cannot load such file -- openssl" Read more: https://rvm.io/packages/openssl
Solution:
$ rvm get head
$ rvm pkg remove
$ rvm requirements run (sørg for å fikse alt du mangler!!)
$ rvm reinstall 1.9.3
Start in the folder where you want to checkout the code to. Clone the project from GitHub:
$ git clone [email protected]:smidig/conference-app.git
$ bundle install
$ rake db:migrate
$ rake db:seed
If you don't want to install a postgres locally you can specify bundle install without production requirements:
$ bundle install --without production
You can start the server with the following command:
$ rails server
The server should then be available at http://localhost:3000
The console command lets you interact with your Rails application from the command line. On the underside, rails console uses IRB, so if you’ve ever used it, you’ll be right at home. This is useful for testing out quick ideas with code and changing data server-side without touching the website.
$ rails console
We use RSPEC to do Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD), a fun way to perform Test-Driven Development.
Run an indivdual spec:
$ rspec spec/controllers/users_controller_spec.rb
To further improve our development speed we have set up guard, github.com/guard/guard (with Growl/Libnotify/Notifu for notifications) and (guard-rspec plugin)[https://github.com/guard/guard-rspec]. RSpec guard allows us to automatically launch specs when files are modified.
To start guard: $ guard
We have chosen to have a stable master approach. This means that all new developments must be done in a feature branch, and be merged back to master when they are complete. This means that the master branch is always safe to deploy from or to create new branches off.
Create a new branch (assuming you are on master branch):
$ git pull
$ git checkout -b "feature/some_cool_new_functionality"
$ git status
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "What a is in this commit"
$ git push origin "name of branch"
To merge a feature back to master you have multiple options
-
Push branch to github and make a pull-request on githu. The main benefit of this approach is that we get code review with an easy way to inspect / comment / discuss the code beeing merged back to master.
-
Merge locally:
How to merge locally:
$ git checkout feature
$ git fetch origin
$ git merge master
(resolve eventuelle merge conlicts)
$ git checkout master
$ git merge feature
$ git push origin master
Start by installing heroku toolbelt: https://toolbelt.herokuapp.com/
We have a test version and several production verions over at heroku. To add heroku remotes:
git remote add testsmidig [email protected]:testsmidig.git
git remote add smidig2013 [email protected]:smidig2013.git
git remote add smidig2014 [email protected]:smidig2014.git
git remote add smidig2015 [email protected]:smidig2015.git
Then you can push to them with the following command (e.g. testsmidig):
git push testsmidig master
If you change the database you typically have to run migration:
heroku run rake db:migrate --app testsmidig
Any heroku site is available on instancename.herokuapp.com. We also have some shortcuts - test.smidig.no points to testsmidig.herokuapp.com. We also point YEAR.smidig.no to smidigYEAR.herokuapp.com.
We have heroku/github integration enabled for several instances.
The latest production site (current year) is connected to master branch. Autodeployment is turned off so you have to login to heroku and hit the deploy button.
The working branch for the current year is connected to the test.smidig.no isntance. This is also connected to Travis-CI. Any pushes to this branch will start a Travis-CI build - and if/when that turns green - heroku will automatically deploy to test.smidig.no.
Note that heroku deployment does not run db migration - so if the db has changed then you will need to run the following when deployment is complete:
heroku run rake db:migrate
For bugs and feature request we use the GitHub issue tracker.
