Application to support working through sequential programming problems, with crowd-sourced code reviews.
This an experiment, and the code reflects that. Many features have been thrown in, only to be deprecated shortly thereafter, and there's scar tissue throughout the system.
Features may be here today, gone tomorrow.
Things do seem to have settled a bit in the past couple of months, so there's a chance that we'll reach some sort of 1.0 in early 2014.
The messaging right now is a disaster. The site is confusing, the process is opaque, and it's hard to figure out where you need to look to figure stuff out.
This is a process with two parts:
- practice (writing code, iterating)
- nitpicking (looking at code, providing insights and asking questions)
It's not about getting code perfect or right, but using the pieces of code to talk about the little details of what makes code simple, readable, and/or expressive.
The warmup exercises are collected from all over the web.
The common data for assignments are in
assignments/shared
This includes some metadata that gets sewn into a README.
Not all assignments will be appropriate for all languages.
The actual assignment consists of a test suite, where all test are pending except the first one.
The languages paths are configured in lib/exercism/curriculum/LANGUAGE.rb
.
The list of assignments is just a really big array of assignment slugs in the order that they will be assigned.
Different languages/trails do not need to have the same assignments or the same order.
- Install postgresql with:
brew install postgresql
orapt-get install postgresql-9.2
- Copy
.ruby-version.example
to.ruby-version
if you use a Ruby version manager such as RVM, rbenv or chruby - Install gems with:
bundle
- Get a client id/secret from Github at https://github.com/settings/applications/new.
- Name: whatever
- URL: http://localhost:4567
- Callback url: http://localhost:4567/github/callback
- Presuming you have Postgres installed (if not:
brew install postgres
):
- create db user with:
createuser exercism
. - create database with:
createdb -O exercism exercism_development
.
- Run the database migrations with
rake db:migrate
. - Run the database seed with
rake db:seed
. If you want LOTS of data:rake db:seed[1000]
or some other big number. - Copy
config/env
to.env
- Edit
.env
to fill in the correct values. - Start the server with
foreman start
- Login at http://localhost:4567.
- You can view the mails send in MailCatcher in your browser at localhost:1080.
- Work through 'Frontend development setup' below and run lineman for correct styling at http://localhost:4567
- Install node and npm
- osx: brew install node
- others see: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installing-Node.js-via-package-manager
- Install lineman via
sudo npm install -g lineman
cd frontend
and start lineman withlineman run
- note lineman watches for file changes and compiles them automatically, it is not required to be running for the server to run
If you want to send emails, you will need to fill out the relevant environment variables in .env
and uncomment the lines so that the variables get exported.
There's a script in bin/console
that will load pry with the exercism environment loaded.
- Prepare the test environment with
RACK_ENV=test rake db:migrate
. - Make sure that
mailcatcher
is running. - Run the test suite with
rake
orrake test
.
To run a single test suite, you can do so with:
ruby path/to/the_test.rb
If it complains about dependencies, then either we forgot to require the correct dependencies (a distinct possibility), or we are dependening on a particular tag of a gem installed directly from github (this happens on occasion).
If there's a git dependency, you can do this:
bundle exec ruby path/to/the_test.rb
For the require, you'll need to figure out what the missing dependency is. Feel free to open an issue on github. It's likely that someone familiar with the codebase will be able to identify the problem immediately.
To enable code coverage run:
COVERAGE=1 rake test
Browse the results located in coverage/index.html
Let Heroku know that Lineman will be building our assets. From the command line:
heroku config:set BUILDPACK_URL=https://github.com/testdouble/heroku-buildpack-lineman-ruby.git
