Open the test container in interactive mode and run tests individually:

$ ./docker/run_test.sh -i
$ bundle exec rspec spec/models/solr_document_spec.rb:20

Linting in Docker

This project uses RuboCop to ensure consistency in code style/formatting. To output rubocop issues:

$ docker compose exec webapp bundle exec rubocop

Or open an interactive bash session to run rubocop:

$ docker compose exec webapp bash
$ bundle exec rubocop
$ exit

OPTION 2: Start app manually

1. Install gems

   $ cd <clone>
   $ bundle install

2. Create the database and run migrations

   $ bin/rake db:create db:schema:load db:migrate

3. Start Solr (via solr_wrapper)

   $ bin/solr_wrapper

   Solr will be accessible at http://localhost:8983/solr

   solr_wrapper is configured to persist data between runs. Please refer to the solr_wrapper documentation for details on purging persisted data.

   Additional configurations can be made in .solr_wrapper.yml
