Testing the Gem

For the Impatient

1. Clone the Hydra-Head code (to a fresh working copy)

   git clone [email protected]:samvera/hydra-head.git

2. Switch to the hydra-head directory

   cd hydra-head

3. Install bundler gem

   gem install bundler

4. Get the project dependencies

   bundle install

5. Run the tests

   bundle exec rake ci

   
   This rake task:
   1. creates the test app in .internal_test_app
   2. spins up solr (in solr_wrapper)
   3. spins up fedora (in fcrepo_wrapper)
   4. imports fixtures
   5. runs rspec
   6. kills solr & fedora

More Detailed Instructions & Notes

Testing the gem

Sometimes in the course of generating the internal_test_app the Gemfile.lock of the gem itself and the internal_test_app’s Gemfile.lock can get out of sync. If that happens, you can run

bundle update [angry_gem]

. If you are testing and decide to use different versions of Ruby or particular gems, you can delete both Gemfile.lock files and re-bundle using

bundle install

.

In order to run a single spec, in one terminal window start the test server using

bundle exec rake test_server

then in another window use the following from the command line:

bundle exec rake spec SPEC=spec/controllers/catalog_controller_spec.rb  # path to the spec file you wish to run

When running individual tests, you may get success on one gem and failure on the other gem – this is expected, since some tests exist only in a single gem.
