Setting up checkie environment:¶ ↑

• if you’re starting from scratch, setup your dev enviroment according to installfest.railsbridge.org

• install rvm or rbenv

• “git clone [email protected]:tyronegrandison/checkie.git”

• “brew install libiconv” - nokogiri requires libiconv and nokogiri is needed for parsing XML

• “brew link –force libiconv” [*]

• “gem install nokogiri – –with-iconv-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/libiconv” [*]

• “brew install postgresql” - we’re using postgresql on both dev & prod

• “bundle” to install the correct gems

Create dev DB

• “rake db:create” - double check that it succeeded with “rake db:version” which should return 0

Nice to do¶ ↑

• “git config push.default simple” - stops git from complaining when you type “git push”

Running specs repeatedly¶ ↑

Use the “rerun” command, which is provided by the rerun gem that’s already listed in Gemfile.

• “rerun -p ‘*.rb’ -cx – rspec”

*

Without these commands, you won’t be able to install the nokogiri gem stackoverflow.com/questions/5528839/why-does-installing-nokogiri-on-mac-os-fail-with-libiconv-is-missing
