Global Diversity CFP Day

Access the live site from here.

This site is built on Ruby on Rails, using Ruby 2.2.6 and Rails 5.1.1.

Running the Application

Prerequisites

This application requires a Postgres database to be available at localhost and native postgres drivers to be installed locally. If you see the following error during installation, make sure you have postgres installed.

Installing pg 0.18.4 with native extensions
Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Installation

To get this site running locally:

git clone [email protected]:JiggyPete/global-diversity-cfp-day-site.git

Run bundle install to get all those lovely Gems on your machine.

Run rake db:setup to create the database and seed some sample data.

Running the application

Run bundle exec rails server and access http://localhost:3000 on your browser of choice.

Running the tests

Tests are found in ./spec and can be run with bundle exec rspec ./spec.

To run an individual test file bundle exec rspec ./spec/path/to/file

Seeding the database

To add sample data to the database, run rake db:seed. This is slightly different to the setup step as it does not clear and recreate the tables first. To create a fresh release of the database, run rake db:setup.
