Get It

The source code is managed with Git (a version control system) and hosted at GitHub.

You can download the app ("clone the repository") with the command

$ git clone https://github.com/rohitpbhore/sample_blog_app.git

Getting Started

Start the server

$ rails server

Start the Solr server by running:

rake sunspot:solr:start

and go to http://localhost:3000/

Set Up the Database

You'll need to be in the application root directory:

$ cd blog

You'll need to edit the database.yml

config/database.yml

Load a schema.rb file into the database

rake db:schema:load

Running RSpec

RSpec is a framework for creating specifications and testing a Rails web application.

You can run RSpec "stories" to see the specifications for the application's behavior. You can run RSpec "examples" to verify the application is behaving as intended at the object level.

You must prepare the test database before running RSpec:

$ rake db:test:clone
$ rake db:test:prepare

which takes a schema dump from the development database and uses it to create a test database. (If you're modifying the app, you'll need to do that after every migration.)

To run the RSpec examples:

$ rake spec

Running Cucumber

Prepare the test database

To run the Cucumber examples:

$ cucumber
