Neo4jDevRails

Easy installation of a local Neo4j development and test server with a Rails development environment. Also provides some test helpers

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'neo4j_dev_rails', git: 'git@github.com:dgroulx/neo4j_dev_rails.git'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Installing Neo4j

To download the Neo4j server, run:

$ rake neo4j:install

This will create two directories, neo4j_dev, and neo4j_test, and leave the downloaded tarball behind. Future installs will first try and use this file if available.

Running the Neo4j Server

This gem provides access to all of the neo4j executables commands via rake. To start the development database, simply run

$ rake neo4j:dev:start

This will start up a neo4j instance listening on port 7474. The test database will run on port 7574 by default.

Testing with Neo4j

To clear out the test database after each test run, include the 'neo4j_dev_rails' file in the appropriate test helper, then call

Neo4jDevRails::Test.clean_db

By default, this will clean the database running at http://localhost:7574. Both the host and port may be changed. For example, if you need to clean the database at http://myapp.dev:3600, be sure to run this code before any calls to Neo4jDevRails.clean_neo4j

Neo4jDevRails::Test.server = 'http://myapp.dev'
Neo4jDevRails::Test.port = 3600
