hummingbird

A Rails application for managing the Database A-Z list.

Instructions for running the application

1. Install Docker Desktop if you are using a Mac or PC.
2. Run the following commands to install the dependencies and create the initial database.

Run with the Makefile

To run the server with the Makefile, run the following command:

make up 

To run the specs, run the following command:

make test

Run using docker-compose directly

docker-compose up --build
docker-compose run --rm hummingbird bundle 
docker-compose run --rm hummingbird bundle exec rails db:create
docker-compose run --rm hummingbird bundle exec rails db:migrate
docker-compose up

Running the specs

docker-compose run --rm hummingbird bundle exec spec

Resetting Database on Local Instance

If you are testing on a local instance and create records in the database, you will want to delete them before testing a newer version that changes the DB schema. Your old records may be in violation of rules in the new version of the DB.

Delete existing local DB

docker-compose run hummingbird rake db:drop

Setting up database again

docker-compose run --rm hummingbird bundle exec rails db:migrate

Then run the "make" command as above.

Seeding the database

To seed the database with the data located in test_data, run the following command:

docker-compose run --rm hummingbird bundle exec rails db:seed

This command will destory existing database entries and seed the database with the data in test_data.
