Molehill is an open-source, less-is-more issue tracker. It is designed to very quickly let people report, track and close issues as they are working on projects.
Molehill is being written as a learning exercise in using Cucumber for BDD. You can track Molehill’s development at chrisblunt.com/blog
To clone a copy of molehill:
git clone git://github.com/cblunt/molehill.git cd molehill # You'll need to create and configure your local database connection: cp config/database.yml.sample config/database.yml
You can setup application configuration (currently the code for Google Analytics) in config/application.yml.
rake db:migrate rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=cucumber
Molehill depends on a number of gems. They are configured in config/environment.rb To install the required gems:
rake gems:install
To run all cucumber tests
cucumber
To provide an RCov report
rake cucumber:rcov
Molehill is deployed using Capistrano. An example deploy script is included in the repository:
cp config/deploy.rb.example config/deploy.rb
Now configure config/deploy.rb to point to your server and repository. Once that’s done, you can setup your target server:
cap deploy:setup
The capistrano script expects some configuration files to be stored on the deployment server (not in the repository due to security). These are symlinked after every deploy:
{shared_path}/config/application.yml
{shared_path}/config/database.yml # Configures your database connections
{shared_path}/config/environments/production.rb # Contains your SMTP settings for notification emails
