How to Set Up 1-Click Locally

1. Prerequisites

The following need to be installed.

  • git
  • postgres
  • postgis
  • rbenv (ruby package manager)
  • ruby

Install all of your prequisites using homebrew

brew install git postgres postgis rbenv ruby-build

Add rbenv to bash so that it loads every time you open a terminal

echo 'if which rbenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(rbenv init -)"; fi' >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile

Install Ruby

rbenv install 2.4.0
ruby -v

2. Clone the Project

git clone https://github.com/camsys/oneclick-core.git

3. Setup rbenv

Setup rbenv to default to ruby 2.4.0

cd oneclick-core
rbenv local 2.4.0

4. Install Bundler and Gems

Install bundler and install gems.

gem install bundler
bundle install

If you receive a build error similar to this:

Installing pg 0.21.0 with native extensions
Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Install the gem manually in this manner: sudo gem install pg -v '0.21.0' Do not run the command sudo bundle install as it will cause unforeseen errors. If you run that command, you can undo it with sudo bundle install --system

5. Create Your Database

Make an alias for starting and stopping postgres:

alias start-psql='pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log start'
alias stop-psql='pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres stop -s -m fast'

You can now start and stop postgres by typing start-psql and stop-psql respectively.

(Optional: Set postgres to turn on at startup)

Note: Ensure postgres is running by typing pg_isready before moving on. You should see the message: "accepting connections"

This code creates your development database, loads the schema, and populates seed data:

rake db:setup

Optional: Add sample data to your development setup.

rake db:sample:all

6. Translations

To build locales and load locale files, run:

rake simple_translation_engine:update

7. Start Your Server

rails s

Open a browser and go to localhost:3000.

Developer Notes

PostGIS database reset issue

You may run into the following error when running migrations, especially during rake db:reset:

PG::UndefinedObject: ERROR:  type "geometry" does not exist

To fix this, follow the steps outlined here (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7001447/postgis-error-type-geography-does-not-exist):

  1. Open the psql console. On heroku, you can do this by running heroku pg:psql -a app-name
  2. Make sure you're connected to the right database, and run CREATE EXTENSION Postgis;
  3. Quit psql with \q.
  4. Re-run migrations; they should work now.

OneClick Module Engines

Modules are included by adding the module name as an environment variable, set to any truthy value (e.g. "true"). Locally, this can be achieved by creating a config/oneclick_modules.rb file. This can be copied over from config/oneclick_modules.rb.sample as a starting point. On Heroku, these variables can be set directly as heroku config variables.

To set up the OneclickReferNET engine:

Locally:

  1. Create a copy of config/oneclick_modules.rb.sample in the config directory and rename it oneclick_modules.rb.
  2. Add or un-comment the line: ENV["ONECLICK_REFERNET"] = "true"
  3. [THIS IS NO LONGER NECESSARY]run bundle install, rake oneclick_refernet:install:migrations and rake db:migrate
  4. run rake oneclick_refernet:load_database to import the ReferNET database. This will take a while.

Heroku:

  1. In the Settings tab for your app, click "Reveal Config Vars". Create a new variable with KEY = ONECLICK_REFERNET and VALUE = true.
  2. May need to do heroku restart -a app-name or something to get it to reinstall gems.
  3. [THIS IS NO LONGER NECESSARY] run rake oneclick_refernet:install:migrations
  4. run heroku run rake db:migrate -a app-name
  5. run rake oneclick_refernet:load_database to import the ReferNET database. This will take a while.
  6. If desired setting up a scheduled daily task to run rake oneclick_refernet:load_database_on_sunday will only run the load_database task if the day of the week is Sunday.
