Blackjack by Dave

Blackjack by Dave is an exercise in OOP reworked into a Sinatra web app. The original exercise was given as an assignment at Launch Academy, a web development bootcamp, and the transformation was begun as a side project in the precious free time during the program. While it is still a work in progress, this project has been an excellent opportunity to teach myself how to use and test sessions, configure a Sinatra app to deploy to Heroku, and have a stab at more advanced CSS.

Getting Started

In order to run this application locally, you must at least have Ruby 2.3.3 installed.

$ ruby -v
=> ruby 2.3.3

Installing

This project uses Bundler as its dependency manager. To install the necessary gems:

$ bundle

Setting Up

In order to run the app in a development server, run the following command in your terminal:

$ ruby server.rb

Then, navigate to localhost:4567.

The Test Suite

The automated testing system is run with RSpec, with some help from Capybara and some other minor testing Gems. To run the test suite:

$ rspec

NOTE: RSpec may get stuck on a CSS selector on one of the feature tests. This bug happens only on the first run of that particular test and then never again. I am currently working on a fix for this.

Deployment

This application is deployed using Heroku using these instructions: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/git
