Flask app for video management platform

Development environment set up:

0. cd romeo
1. virtualenv --system-site-packages env (see virtualenv usage)
2. source env/bin/activate
3. pip install -r requirements.txt -r requirements-dev.txt (see pip usage)
4. echo "DEBUG = True" >wonder/romeo/settings/local.py

OS X specific steps: Get pre-compiled psycopg and pillow libraries from macports (or equivalent) before creating virtual env: sudo port install py27-pip py27-virtualenv py27-psycopg2 py27-pillow. Select correct version with sudo port select --set python python27; sudo port select --set virtualenv virtualenv27.

Creating & using dev database tunnel:

0. ssh -L 45432:db1:5432 -N dev.rockpack.com
1. echo "DATABASE_URL = 'postgresql://romeo:xxx@localhost:45432/romeo'" >>wonder/romeo/settings/local.py

Run dev server with:

python2.7 manage.py runserver -p 5001 --threaded

Some local settings worth considering:

# Use local database:
DATABASE_URL = 'postgresql:///romeo'
SQLALCHEMY_ECHO = True

# For front-end asset dev:
ASSETS_AUTO_BUILD = True
ASSETS_DEBUG = True

# Enable Flask debug toolbar (http://flask-debugtoolbar.rtfd.org/):
DEBUG_TB_ENABLED = True
DEBUG_TB_PROFILER_ENABLED = True
DEBUG_TB_INTERCEPT_REDIRECTS = False

# Use local dolly services:
DOLLY_WS_BASE = DOLLY_WS_SECURE_BASE = 'http://localhost:5000/ws/'

To apply latest schema changes:

alembic upgrade head

To reset auth tokens after loading a database dump:

PYTHONPATH=path/to/dolly-web ./manage.py reset_dolly_tokens

Run unit tests with pytest

py.test -x

To build rpm:

python2.7 setup.py rpm
