Got a hard-to-read website? Better call Saul to clean it up!

Saulify runs on Heroku: http://saulify.heroku.com

Saulify is built on Python using the Flask micro-framework.

To install it locally:

• Clone this Github repo to your local computer.
• Install Heroku Toolbelt and ensure you create a Heroku account if you don't have one already.
• Install virtualenv-burrito to install a tool for managing your Python virtual environments.
• Use mkvirtualenv saulify to create a new virtual environment for the project. This will ensure all of your Python libraries are installed properly without conflict.
• Use cd <saulify folder path> to change to the Saulify directory and then workon saulify to switch to the Saulify virtual environment you created previously.
• Use pip install -r requirements.txt to install the 3rd party dependencies, such as Flask, et. al.
• Set up a .env file in the root Saulify directory with the environment variables taken from the Heroku config: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/config-vars (Ask a team member to send you the file if you don't have access)
• Type foreman run python runserver.py (for development) or foreman start (for production) at the command line to start the local server.

Note: Saulify uses the Newspaper library for scraping website articles. If you have trouble installing it on Mac OS X Yosemite during the pip install process above, please see this Github issue for helpful info.

More info here for getting started w/ Python on Heroku.

Saulify uses the pytest framework for making sure we keep clear of new bugs and regressions and these tests can be found in the /tests directory.

You'll need to set an .env variable for the TEST_DATABASE_URL to be a local or remote database that you want to use specifically for testing.

Then you can run the test suite via the command line using:

$ foreman run py.test

Also, we have a secondary test script for verifying the accuracy of the article scraper recipes. You can run that script via the command line using:

$ python runreport.py -p
