Hi, I have implemented a flight booking system with rails. With this app, you can search for flights with or without dates. The number of passengers you select will determine the number of passenger fields you'll have on your booking form. On successful booking of a flight, you will recieve a booking-success email. You will also have the option of paying via paypal or to proceed to your profile. The app has features to handle cancelling a booking before the day of the flight and also managing the number of passengers on a booking. You will also recieve a booking update email if you choose to manage your app. Check out the cool app here! Bug discoveries, suggestions and general feedback will always be appreciated.

Getting started is extremely easy, you can either clone / fork this repository or download the entire project as a zip package and run locally.
This project is implemented using the rails framework and as such in order to effectively run this project locally, you need to have a version of Rails running on your local development machine. You also need to make sure that you have the Ruby programming language installed as rails is written in ruby.
You also need to make sure that you have rubygems and bundler installed. RubyGems is a package management framework for Ruby and bundler is a ruby gem that helps to manage other external dependencies in a rails application.
Once you have a copy of this project and it's dependencies installed, you are good. Start up your terminal, navigate to the project directory and run the following command to install all the required external dependencies.

After all the setting up as mentioned above, you can run the tests. The tests are driven by rspec, capybara and selenium. You can get them fired up by running the following command from the terminal.
rspec spec
or
bundle exec rspec
or
rake
If you need more specific tests, then specify the absolute path to the spec file:
bundle exec rspec spec/models/booking_spec.rb

bundle exec rspec spec/models/booking_spec.rb -f documentation
