Skill Assessment Quiz

This application manages quizzes intended to be used as pre-interview skill assessments.

Development Guidelines

Please follow these guidelines as close as possible. Discuss and question them as needed.

• Run Guard while developing.
  • bundle exec guard
  • Always execute a full run before a push (simply hit return in your guard session).
• Honor RuboCop warnings.
• Write tests, And keep them green.
  • Review the coverage report, keeping coverate > 90%.
    • coverage/index.html
  • It is OK to delete tests which are duplicated, or no longer relevant.
  • If you find a bug, write a test to recreate it, so it never comes back unnoticed.
• Make sure to keep the fixture files current.
  • test/fixtures/*.yml
  • Include any new development data needs.
• Protect Gemfile.
  • Does your new gem bring in a ton of unnecessary or outdated gems?
  • Are you bringing in a gem that solves a problem already addressed by an existing gem?
  • Do you really need this gem, or just a simple service object?
  • Place your new gem appropriately. Some gem blocks are order specific, but most are alphabetized.
• Keep git comment subjects short, and use git comment bodies for more details.
• Pull with --rebase.
  • git config --global pull.rebase true
• Feature branches are nice.
  • Rebase feature branches onto develop before merging.
    • push -f is ok on feature branches. Just communicate with others using that branch.
  • Never merge develop down to a feature branch.
  • Merge with --no-ff when appropriate, --squash "WIP" commits into a complete thought.
  • Clean up your remote branches after merge.
• Keep code comments to a minimum.
  • We use git. Write a good commit message instead.
  • Remove/Update code comments when changes are made.
• Leave the code better than you found it.
• Have fun.

Setup

• clone
• checkout develop
• bundle
• npm install
• bower install
• cp config/application.yml.sample config/application.yml
• edit and update proper values to application.yml
• rake db:setup
• rake db:migrate
• rake db:fixtures:load
  • ./rebuild-dev-db.sh is a convenience script to rebuild and refresh your dev db with the fixture data.

Docker

You can develop in this app with a native rails install, if you prefer. However, there is also a docker image setup if you do not want to install all the supporting gems and libraries. Please note: The guard watch session does not run all watches correctly in the docker container. The only issue this causes is all the automation is not 100%. Simply manually kick off the runners occasionally by hitting return in the session.

To use the docker container, you need to install and launch docker, which can be found here: https://www.docker.com/products/docker

Once the container is started, you can still edit files from your host project directory.

visit http://localhost:3000 like normal

There are some convenience scripts included to make starting the container and rails app easier.

./start-docker.sh

• Execute from terminal, on the host machine, in the project directory

• This will pull the image from dockerhub, if needed
• Create and start up container

Once in the container:

• ./start-dev.sh
  • will spin up a dev session with tmux
• ./start-server.sh
  • starts up just rails server for viewing application

Deploying a new version

• ssh into server
• cd into app root
• run deploy.sh
