Module 1 Week 3 Diagnostic

Module 1 Week 3 Diagnostic

This exercise is intended to help you assess your progress with the concepts and techniques we've covered during the week.

For these questions, write a short snippet of code that meets the requirement. In cases where the question mentions a "given" data value, use the variable given to refer to it (instead of re-writing the information).

Project workflow:

  1. Load/Reload waffle.
  • Find all tasks
  1. Choose a card from the backlog in waffle. If we're working separately, it's best to move that card that you've chosen into ready and perhaps assign it to yourself as well.
  • Pick out a specific task to work on
  1. git checkout master
  • Make sure you are on the master branch
  1. git pull origin master
  • Retrieve the most up-to-date version of the project
  1. run rspec

How to Run a Rails App in Production Locally
  1. Add gem 'rails_12factor' to your Gemfile. This will add error logging and the ability for your app to serve static assets.
  2. bundle
  3. Go to into database.yml and change username to the name of your computer (type whoami into command line)
  4. Run RAILS_ENV=production rake db:create db:migrate db:seed
  5. Run rake secret and copy the output
  6. From the command line: export SECRET_KEY_BASE=output-of-rake-secret
  7. To precompile your assets, run rake assets:precompile. This will create a folder public/assets that contains all of your assets.
  8. Run RAILS_ENV=production rails s and you should see your app.

Remember to clobber your assets (rake assets:clobber) and re-precompile (rake assets:precompile) if you make changes.

Common setup for a new Rails project
  1. rails new <project_name> -d postgresql --skip-turbolinks --skip-spring -T
  • -d postgresql sets up the project to use PostgreSQL
  • --skip-turbolinks & --skip-spring creates a project that does not use turbolinks or spring
  • -T skips the creation of the test directory and use of Test::Unit
  1. In the Gemfile:
  • Available to all environments:
    • gem 'figaro' - store environment variables securely across your app (docs)
    • Uncomment gem 'bcrypt', '~> 3.1.7' if you will be hosting your own user accounts with passwords (docs)
  • Inside of group :test:
    • gem 'rspec-rails' - user rspec in place of minitest (docs)
