This repository stores the code for the https://helpwithcovid.com/ website.
The stack is:
- Ruby on Rails 6.0
- Tailwind CSS
- Postgres
- ruby
2.6.3 - bundler
2.1.4 - postgres
brew install rbenv
brew install postgresql
rbenv init
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.zshrc
# source profile or restart shell, then:
rbenv install 2.6.3
rbenv local 2.6.3
gem install bundler
gem install rails
rbenv rehashInstall and start postgresql:
- On macOS, you can use
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres start - (To stop postgres use
pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres stop)
Install dependencies:
bundle install
yarn install
Setup the database and seed data:
rails db:setup
Create a .env file with the following:
# sending emails
SMTP_USERNAME=[email protected]
SMTP_PASSWORD=email-account-password
SMTP_NOREPLY=[email protected]
# recaptcha for signups (without this the sign up won't work)
RECAPTCHA_SITE_KEY=
RECAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY=
# mailchimp integration (without this, initial db seeding with Gibbon will crash)
MAILCHIMP_API_KEY=
# blank slate volunteer integration (not sure how critical this is, but likely required)
BLANK_SLATE_USERNAME=
BLANK_SLATE_PASSWORD=Replace the text to the right of the = with the correct values.
rails server
Then go to http://localhost:3000 to view app
rails spec
Error text: Webpacker can't find stylesheets...
Remove node_modules, yarn.lock and package-lock.json. Run yarn to reinstall all frontend dependencies and try running the rails server again. Alternatively you can remove node_modules only and try yarn install --frozen-lockfile.
Try using localhost:3000 to run the site rather than 127.0.0.1.
By default, emails are not sent when running in development, but you can make them work: Copy all the mailer settings from config/production.rb into config/development.rb.
Migrations were probably not run. Run migrations using rails db:migrate.
