Basic Commands

Setting Up Your Users

To create a normal user account, just go to Sign Up and fill out the form. Once you submit it, you'll see a "Verify Your E-mail Address" page. Go to your console to see a simulated email verification message. Copy the link into your browser. Now the user's email should be verified and ready to go.

To create an superuser account, use this command:

$ python manage.py createsuperuser

For convenience, you can keep your normal user logged in on Chrome and your superuser logged in on Firefox (or similar), so that you can see how the site behaves for both kinds of users.

Test coverage

To run the tests, check your test coverage, and generate an HTML coverage report:

$ coverage run manage.py test
$ coverage html
$ open htmlcov/index.html

Live reloading and Sass CSS compilation

Moved to Live reloading and SASS compilation.

Celery

This app comes with Celery.

To run a celery worker:

cd locmaster
celery -A locmaster.taskapp worker -l info

Please note: For Celerys import magic to work, it is important where the celery commands are run. If you are in the same folder with manage.py, you should be right.

Email Server

In development, it is often nice to be able to see emails that are being sent from your application. If you choose to use MailHog when generating the project a local SMTP server with a web interface will be available.

To start the service, make sure you have nodejs installed, and then type the following:

$ npm install
$ grunt serve

(After the first run you only need to type grunt serve) This will start an email server that listens on 127.0.0.1:1025 in addition to starting your Django project and a watch task for live reload.

To view messages that are sent by your application, open your browser and go to http://127.0.0.1:8025

The email server will exit when you exit the Grunt task on the CLI with Ctrl+C.

It's time to write the code!!!

Running end to end integration tests

N.B. The integration tests will not run on Windows.

To install the test runner:

$ pip install hitch

To run the tests, enter the locmaster/tests directory and run the following commands:

$ hitch init

Then run the stub test:

$ hitch test stub.test

This will download and compile python, postgres and redis and install all python requirements so the first time it runs it may take a while.

Subsequent test runs will be much quicker.

The testing framework runs Django, Celery (if enabled), Postgres, HitchSMTP (a mock SMTP server), Firefox/Selenium and Redis.
