Getting Started:

To run web application:

For Mac OS:

• (install curl, nokogiri 1.6.3.1, nodejs, imagemagick and possibly others)
• \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable (install RVM)
• rvm install 2.1.3 (install ruby 2.1.3)
• rvm use 2.1.3 (use Ruby version 2.1.3 compatible with this application)
• bundle install (install dependiencies, resolve all install errors - use homebrew)
• rails server (restarts and runs server)
• go to web browser and type localhost:3000 and web application should load and run

Windows 8 does not seem to run ruby on rails applications correctly. We suggest setting up a virtual machine.

For Ubuntu Linux:

• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install curl
• \curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
• rvm install ruby-2.1.3
• sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev
• gem install nokogiri -v '1.6.3.1' -- --use-system-libraries
• sudo apt-get install libpq-dev
• sudo apt-get install nodejs
• sudo apt-get install imagemagick
• bundle install
• rake db:create
• rake db:migrate
• rails server
• go to web browser and type localhost:3000 and web application should load and run

Running Unit Tests:

• gem install simplecov
• bundle install
• bundle exec rspec
• all unit tests are present inside of spec folder
• coverage report can be generated as folows:
  • cd coverage/
  • open index.html

Running Functional Tests: (using Selenium IDE and Rspec)

• cd spec/functional_tests
• edit line 27 in the files 05successful_uploadAvatar.rb, 06unsuccessful_uploadAvatar.rb, 07successful_fileupload.rb, and 08unsuccessful_fileupload.rb
• update local path to test pictures (ie panda_cubs.jpg, Avatar_example.png, and README.md in the top layer of the repository)
• rspec spec/functional_tests/* (this should run all the functional tests that cover the requirements)

Bug Fixes:

1. If avatar uploades but does not display, try changing line

• before_filter :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?
• before_filter :configure_permitted_parameters#, if: :devise_controller? in app/controllers/application_controller.rb Make this change, refresh browser (do not restart server ie run rails server again), you should get an error. Then change back the line to the original without the # and refresh again and avatar should display. Still investigating possible causes for this bug.
