How to Work With the Repository

To start the task, you need to copy the URL of your repository and clone it (please note that you are cloning your own repository, not the original template!).

Create a virtual environment

1. Launch the Visual Studio Code editor, and through the "File" / "Open Directory" menu, open the Dev/corp_django_course2/ folder.
2. Launch the terminal in VS Code and make sure you work from the corp_django_course2/ directory. If you use Windows, make sure Git Bash runs in the terminal and not through anything else, like PowerShell. Run this command:

• Linux/macOS

  python3 -m venv venv

• Windows

  python -m venv venv

The virtual environment will be deployed in the corp_django_course2/ directory. The venv folder will be there too and will store all the project dependencies. The file structure will look like this:

Dev/
 └── corp_django_course2/
     ├── .github/    Folder with repository configs (hidden)   
     ├── .vscode/    Folder of the code editor (optional, hidden)
     ├── .git/       Git system information (hidden)
     ├── tests/             Tests for project verification
     ├── venv/              Virtual environment directory
     ├── pragmatic/          <-- Project directory
     |   ├── courses/
     |   ├── lessons/
     |   ├── pragmatic/
     |   ├── db.sqlite3     Database file (might not exist)
     |   └── manage.py      
     ├── .gitignore         List of files and folders hidden from Git tracking 
     ├── db.json            <-- Fixtures for the database    
     ├── LICENSE            License   
     ├── pytest.ini         Tests configuration
     ├── README.md          Project description 
     ├── requirements.txt   Project dependency list
     └── setup.cfg          Tests setup

Activation of the virtual environment

in the console, go to the root directory of the project Dev/corp_django_course2/ and run this command:

• Linux/macOS

  source venv/bin/activate

• Windows

  source venv/Scripts/activate

Now all commands in the terminal will be preceded by the string (venv).

💡 All further commands in the terminal should be executed with the activated virtual environment.

Update pip:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Install the dependencies from the requirements.txt file

Run the following command while you are in the Dev/corp_django_course2/ folder:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Using migrations

In the directory with the "manage.py" file, run the command:

python manage.py migrate

Running the project in dev mode

In the directory with the "manage.py" file, run the command:

python manage.py runserver

In response to the command, Django will report that the server is running and the project is available at http://127.0.0.1:8000/.

Local test launch

Having finished the task, launch the local tests. in the console, go to the root directory of the project Dev/corp_django_course2/ and run this command:

pytest

If all the test cases are successful, the project will be considered finished. Otherwise, you will have to fix the parts that haven't passed the tests and launch them once again.
