Conecta

Conecta project fosters partnerships in an innovation ecosystem.

Installation requirements

Before running the project, you need to install the the following programs: Docker docker-compose

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/aceleradora-TW/conecta.git
$ cd conecta

Build

Build the docker application image whenever you change the Gemfile. To build it, run the command:

$ make build

The command make build takes a long time so it is recommended to use it only if you really need to change the Gemfile.

Import Data

To have Companies and Research Centers available in the project you need to import their data from CSV files.

You can find such files in Aceleradora's Google Drive.

The CSV files should be located in:

  csv/files/company.csv
  csv/files/research_center.csv

With the files in the right folder, you can run the import command (It is faster now, with postgres =D )

$ make db-seed

Execution

The database schema must be created before starting the application, or it will crash otherwise. To do so, you have two options:

• Run the command mentioned above, importing the data from the CSV files

• Create the schema without any data, by running make db-migrate.

Once you set up your schema, you can run the server with:

$ make run

Browser

Open browser in:

$ localhost:9393

Test

To run all the tests with Capybara and Rspec, run the command:

$ make test

Application Bash

If you want to access application container bash (terminal), run the following command:

$ make bash

Database operations

There are a few make targets that help with schema management with PostgreSQL in Docker:

Generate and/or migrate database schema

Which will run DataMapper.auto_upgrade!.

make db-migrate

Reset database data and recreate schema

Which will run DataMapper.auto_migrate!.

make db-reset

Access Postgres Client in a running Docker container

make db-console

Insert data from CSV files into a database (see Import Data section of this document to get some context)

make db-seed

Since some of the above operations require a previously started Psql container, they all execute db-start, which will start the psql container with Docker Compose.

Other informations

Postgres container data are saved in ./data/postgres
