Note

• This is an example app that should not be run in production.

Quick Start

Here are the steps to run the Django app locally in development mode.

Prerequisites

This application runs in containers on Docker with Docker Compose. You should have installed Docker and Docker Compose.

Build the Code

Clone this repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/mchesterkadwell/testing_workshop.git

Build the Docker stack with the local configuration. This make take a few minutes:

$ docker compose -f local.yml build

Run the Application

Run the Docker stack with the local configuration:

$ docker compose -f local.yml up

You can view the web application locally at: http://localhost:8000/

Run the Tests

To run the tests:

$ docker compose -f local.yml run --rm django pytest

To generate an HTML coverage report:

$ docker compose -f local.yml run --rm django coverage html

Now you can view the report by opening it in a browser: htmlcov/index.html

Optional

Run the database migrations. They should run on startup, but just in case you can do it manually:

$ docker compose -f local.yml run --rm django python manage.py migrate

Create a superuser. It is not important what you choose here as we do not use authentication in the application:

$ docker compose -f local.yml run --rm django python manage.py createsuperuser
