Development

Install instructions in INSTALL.md

Startup

Just run and open http://localhost:4000/

docker-compose up`

Tips

  1. Everything should be running on containers.

  2. If you need to run stuff on your host (eg. ruby, rubocop, bundle install etc) run all commands from the: Dockerfile.dev. It should setup identical setup for your machine.

  3. Add docker container names to /etc/hosts. This makes it possible to run test from local machine without using the container since editor/IDE don't integrate with Docker so well.

    sudo echo docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' ensl_dev_db db >> /etc/hosts

  4. VS Code and RubyMine are great IDE's/editors.

  5. To run VS Code plugin Ruby Test Explorer in docker container you need to create path to custom path, copy the formatter and it whines about and it still fails a bit. https://github.com/connorshea/vscode-ruby-test-adapter/issues/21

  6. Do not commit too much without testing. Also keep commits small for documentation and reversability issues.

  7. You need to rebuild the docker image when you change gems.

TODO issues for dev

  1. Puma should be running (eg. spring), and if debugger is used it should be able to connect via docker-compose up
  2. Should directories exist?

FIXME, TODO, EXPLAIN, OBSOLETE

Handy commands

Load env variables:

source script/env.sh .env .env.development

Start:

docker-compose up -d --build`

Build or rebuild:

docker-compose build`

Debug:

docker attach ensl_dev

To get inside docker web+test containers:

docker-compose exec -u root web /bin/bash`
docker-compose exec -u web web /bin/bash`
docker-compose exec -u root test /bin/bash`
docker-compose exec -u web test /bin/bash`

Restart the web container

docker-compose restart web`

Run some tests:

docker-compose exec -u web test bundle exec rspec`
docker-compose exec -u web test bundle exec rspec spec/controllers/shoutmsgs_controller_spec.rb`

Design of ENSL Application

Read this to understand design decisions and follow them!

  1. Env variables should be used everywhere and loaded from .env* files using Dotenv
  2. The app contents are added to the docker image on build but it is mounted as volume.
  3. Use rails / ruby best practices in section below.
