Sandbox to play with django projects

Moved to settings.

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.

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

Moved to Live reloading and SASS compilation.

This app comes with Celery.

To run a celery worker:

cd sandbox_project
celery -A sandbox_project.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.

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.

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

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.

It's time to write the code!!!

N.B. The integration tests will not run on Windows.

To install the test runner:

$ pip install hitch

To run the tests, enter the sandbox_project/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.
