Getting up and running

Requirements

sbonrails is built and managed primarily the following:

• Ruby 1.8.x
• Rubygems 1.3.5
• Ruby on Rails 2.3.5
• MySQL
• git

Gem Requirements

• compass
• haml
• thoughtbot-shoulda
• factory_girl
• clearance
• cucumber-rails
• database_cleaner
• webrat

Initial setup

Before anything else, change into the newly created sbonrails directory.

cd sbonrails

We need to make sure all the gem dependencies are installed:

rake gems:install
rake gems:install RAILS_ENV=test

Now we need to create an initial database. We currently assume you have MySQL installed, and that you can login as 'root' without a password.

rake db:create

Next migrate the database to the latest version:

rake db:migrate

At last, we can run the server:

script/server

This will keep running until you hit Control-C, but now you can open a browser and go to http://localhost:3000 to see the app running.

Testing

We are using shoulda & cucumber for our testing. Before running them, you need to run the following to create the test database:

rake db:create RAILS_ENV=test

At this point, you can run them with:

rake test

We are also using cucumber for user stories / integration testing. You can run them with:

rake features
