StoreEngine

Requirements

• Ruby 1.9.3
• Bundler
• Heroku Toolbelt

RTH's Note: During the workshop, we used SQLite3 in development. Future work will be done in Postgres only.

Setup

Clone the repository, then run:

bundle install # to install gems listed in Gemfile
cp db/monster_demo db/monster_development # Only needed if running SQLite. 
bundle exec rake db:test:prepare
bundle exec rails s

Provisioning Heroku

You need to create an application on Heroku. From within the project directory:

$ heroku create
$ git push heroku master

Updating Config

Open the store_config.rb in the root project directory and:

• Change the production URL to match the URL of your heroku deployment
• Change your email address to the one you used to register for this session

Loading Data

Let's get all our base data running on Heroku:

heroku addons:add pgbackups
heroku pgbackups:restore DATABASE 'https://github.com/[TODO: URL for pgsql dump]'

Install phantom.js

You'll need phantom.js to run the test suite locally:

brew install phantomjs

You're ready to go!

Appendix

Using PostgreSQL

First edit the Gemfile to uncomment the pg line, and comment out the sqlite3 line.

bundle install
cp config/database.postgresql.yml config/database.yml
createuser -sdR monster
createdb -O monster monster_development
psql -U monster -d monster_development -f db/monster_development.pgdump
bundle exec rake db:test:prepare
bundle exec rails s

View the website at localhost:8080.

Optional Poltergeist Setup

brew update
brew install poltergeist
