Configuration for development and test environments
NOTE: The installation process will vary depending on your operating system. Please make sure to follow the local installation docs appropriate for your OS.
Prerequisites: install git, Ruby 3.3.11, CMake, pkg-config, Node.js 20.20.2, ImageMagick and PostgreSQL (>=13).
Note: The bin/setup command below might fail if you've configured a username and password for PostgreSQL. If that's the case, edit the lines containing username: and password: (adding your credentials) in the config/database.yml file and run bin/setup again.
Run the app locally:
You can run the tests with:
Note: running the whole test suite on your machine might take more than an hour, so it's strongly recommended that you setup a Continuous Integration system in order to run them using parallel jobs every time you open or modify a pull request (if you use GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, this is already configured in .github/workflows/tests.yml and .gitlab-ci.yml) and only run tests related to your current task while developing on your machine. When you configure the application for the first time, it's recommended that you run at least one test in spec/models/ and one test in spec/system/ to check your machine is properly configured to run the tests.
You can use the default admin user from the seeds file:
user: [email protected] pass: 12345678
But for some actions like voting, you will need a verified user, the seeds file also includes one:
user: [email protected] pass: 12345678
