Shortstack

This is Code for America's knowledgebase about software, people, funders, and gov't entities.

Installation

Clone the repo: git clone [email protected]:codeforamerica/shortstack.git cd shortstack

We recommend using Ruby Version Manager. Ruby 1.9.2 or later is required. If you have RVM installed: rvm gemset create shortstack rvm gemset use shortstack

Then: bundle install

To Reset the DB & Data:

bundle exec rake db:reset

After you've set up the database, launch the server:

rails s

Setup Sunspot

We use Sunspot for search.

To start a development solr engine: $ rake sunspot:solr:start

To stop that: $ rake sunspot:solr:stop

You may have to build an index if you haven't already: $ rake sunspot:reindex

You should be good to go.

Road Map

Feature Planning We use Pivotal Tracker for feature planning, bugs and general planning. our public url is at https://www.pivotaltracker.com/projects/352877

Releases Release information is available at https://github.com/codeforamerica/shortstack/wiki/Releases

Testing

We use spork to speed up development tests. Run the following in a separate console window. Note, you'll need to restart spork if you make changes to the environment as spork preloads it:

spork

Until rake .9.2 is fixed, you'll most likely need to run:

bundle exec rspec your_test

or you can run autotest:

Heroku: Staging, Development & Production

We use the recommended Heroku setup for development & staging environments

Edit your git config file:

vi .git/config

and copy/paste the following in:

repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
ignorecase = true
[remote "origin"]
url = [email protected]:codeforamerica/shortstack.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[remote "heroku-master"]
url = [email protected]:shortstack.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/heroku/*
[remote "heroku-staging"]
url = [email protected]:shortstack-dev.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/master/*
branch = staging

To access heroku commands, you'll need to add --remote staging or --remote staging

Branching & Tags

We use branching to delineate between staging and production.

git checkout origin staging
git checkout origin master

We use tags to delineate releases. +.1 for major code releases. +.01 for design/css, small bug fixes or tests/seed data files.

git tag 0.1

Instructions for Staging (Development Environment):

Checkout the correct branch:

git checkout origin staging

Merge your branch and push changes, if any, into staging (optional):

git checkout origin staging
git merge branch_name
git add .
git commit -m 'Your message'
git push heroku-staging staging:master

Check Code for America CI server to make sure the changes didn't break anything:

http://ci.codeforamerica.org/ or dashboard in the office

Push the staging branch to Heroku:

git push staging staging

Staging Url:

http://shortstack-dev.codeforamerica.org

To migrate the database:

heroku rake db:migrate --remote staging

Instructions for Master (Production Environment):

Checkout the correct branch:

git checkout origin master

Merge staging branch into master (optional):

git checkout origin master
git merge staging
git add .
git commit -m 'Your message'

Add a tag for the release git tag 0.1 git push origin master

Push the master branch to Heroku:

git push master master

Update the Wiki with the Release Information:

https://github.com/codeforamerica/shortstack/wiki/Releases

Production Url:

Submitting an Issue

We use the GitHub issue tracker to track bugs and features. Before submitting a bug report or feature request, check to make sure it hasn't already been submitted. You can indicate support for an existing issuse by voting it up. When submitting a bug report, please include a Gist that includes a stack trace and any details that may be necessary to reproduce the bug, including your gem version, Ruby version, and operating system. Ideally, a bug report should include a pull request with failing specs.

Submitting a Pull Request

  1. Fork the project.
  2. Create a topic branch.
  3. Implement your feature or bug fix.
  4. Add documentation for your feature or bug fix.
  5. Run bundle exec rake doc:yard. If your changes are not 100% documented, go back to step 4.
  6. Add specs for your feature or bug fix.
  7. Run bundle exec rake spec. If your changes are not 100% covered, go back to step 6.
