Settings

Basic Commands
--------------
Setting Up Your Users
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To create a **normal user account**, just go to Sign Up and fill out the form. Once you submit it, you'll see a "Verify Your E-mail Address" page. Go to your console to see a simulated email verification message. Copy the link into your browser. Now the user's email should be verified and ready to go.
To create an **superuser account**, use this command::
$ python manage.py createsuperuser
For convenience, you can keep your normal user logged in on Chrome and your superuser logged in on Firefox (or similar), so that you can see how the site behaves for both kinds of users.
Test coverage
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To run the tests, check your test coverage, and generate an HTML coverage report::
$ coverage run manage.py test
$ coverage html
$ open htmlcov/index.html
Live reloading and Sass CSS compilation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Moved to `Live reloading and SASS compilation`_.
.. _`Live reloading and SASS compilation`: http://cookiecutter-django.readthedocs.org/en/latest/live-reloading-and-sass-compilation.html
{% if cookiecutter.use_celery == "y" %}
Celery
^^^^^^
This app comes with Celery.
To run a celery worker:
.. code-block:: bash
cd {{cookiecutter.repo_name}}
celery -A {{cookiecutter.repo_name}}.taskapp worker -l info
Please note: For Celerys import magic to work, it is important *where* the celery commands are run. If you are in the same folder with *manage.py*, you should be right.
{% endif %}
{% if cookiecutter.use_maildump == "y" %}
Email Server
^^^^^^^^^^^^
In development, it is often nice to be able to see emails that are being sent from your application. For this purpose,
a Grunt task exists to start an instance of `maildump`_ which is a local SMTP server with an online interface.
.. _maildump: https://github.com/ThiefMaster/maildump
Make sure you have nodejs installed, and then type the following::
$ grunt start-email-server
This will start an email server. The project is setup to deliver to the email server by default. To view messages
that are sent by your application, open your browser to http://127.0.0.1:1080
To stop the email server::
$ grunt stop-email-server
The email server listens on 127.0.0.1:1025
{% endif %}
{% if cookiecutter.use_sentry == "y" %}
Sentry
^^^^^^
Sentry is an error logging aggregator service. You can sign up for a free account at http://getsentry.com or download and host it yourself.
The system is setup with reasonable defaults, including 404 logging and integration with the WSGI application.
You must set the DSN url in production.
{% endif %}
It's time to write the code!!!
Running end to end integration tests
------------------------------------
N.B. The integration tests will not run on Windows.
To install the test runner::
$ pip install hitch
To run the tests, enter the {{cookiecutter.repo_name}}/tests directory and run the following commands::
$ hitch init
Then run the stub test::
$ hitch test stub.test
This will download and compile python, postgres and redis and install all python requirements so the first time it runs it may take a while.
Subsequent test runs will be much quicker.
The testing framework runs Django, Celery (if enabled), Postgres, HitchSMTP (a mock SMTP server), Firefox/Selenium and Redis.
