Getting Started

Setup RVM

Install via the instructions on the RVM Homepage to install. On Linux, do not use the version provided via apt-get.

Install and configure your default ruby. As of this writing we are using MRI 2.0.0-p247.

Install Redis

Redis is used to run Action Cable, which provides server-side reactivity.

To install Redis:

Mac:

brew install redis

Ubuntu:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/redis-server
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install redis-server

Check the version with:

redis-cli -v

If this returns redis-cli 2.6 or above, you should be all set. If you are having trouble with the sudo add-apt-repository, try these two commands:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

and try again.

Execute redis-server in a free terminal window and you should see redis start normally. Then, restart your dev server to start using redis!

If you're looking to utilize the reactive behavior of Action Cable, remember to run your dev server using foreman, to ensure that Sidekiq workers are started as well.

Clone the application

$ git clone git@github.com/jprince/sleepers-and-keepers.git

Setup your environment

$ ./bin/setup

Set your environment variables

Copy .env.example to a file named .env, in your root application directory and populate the variables according to the instructions provided.

Run the test suite

$ bundle exec rake

Update player data

The data used for the player pool is sourced from the CBS Sports API. To update this data (e.g. updates to player teams, news, injuries, etc.) run the following rake task:

$ rake players:update
