Setup loomio for development

See Setup a Loomio development environment our github wiki for a step by step guide to setting up your computer to develop on Loomio. If you are familiar with the process of running rails apps you can just fork and clone the repo, bundle install then rake db:setup.

Installing the frontend dependencies

The new javascript frontend is a linemanjs project.

You'll need bower and lineman installed:

$ npm install -g bower
$ npm install -g lineman

Fetch the npm and bower dependencies:

from within loomio/lineman/ $ npm install
$ bower install

Trying the new user interface in development mode

Run the rails development server

$ rails s

Then start lineman from the loomio/lineman folder

$ lineman run

We have links that can setup some fake data and log you in:

http://localhost:8000/development/start_discussion

See the app/controllers/development_controller.rb for more.

My ‘my dev env is totally b0rked’ checklist:

• restart lineman
• restart rails
• run bower install
• run npm install
• weep
• actually look at the error message in lineman/browser console

Updating to the latest loomio code

TODO: explain how to update your fork from loomio master We regularly change and update the node modules and bower dependencies. If you just updated and things are broken then you need to

cd lineman
npm install
bower install

Testing

We have rspec and cucumber tests on the rails app.

Rspec and Cucumber for the rails app

We unit test the rails app with rspec, and have intregration tests of the rails based UI in cucumber.

We also unit and e2e test the new javascript frontend.

Jasmine and Protractor for the frontend

You can run the frontend unit tests with

$ lineman spec

Running e2e tests

If you don't have them already, install protractor and webdriver-manager:

$ npm install -g protractor
$ webdriver-manager update --standalone

Protractor e2e tests require rails, lineman and webdriver-manager to be running at the same time:

Start webdriver-manager from anywhere $ webdriver-manager start

Start rails from the loomio folder $ rails s

Start lineman from loomio/lineman $ lineman run

Run the tests themselves from loomio/lineman $ lineman grunt spec-e2e
