Automatically checks in passengers for their Southwest Flight

Southwest Checkin 2.0

Automatically checks in passengers for their Southwest Flight.

Version 2.0 of this project is a complete rewrite of the service. The brittle HTML parsing and form submissions are a thing of the past. A much better approach is being taken to automate checkins. And, importantly, the new version has a robust test suite. It is even written in a new language (Ruby) and framework (Rails).

If you are interested in the old version, see the 1.0 branch.

Features

  • an easy and convient way to manage your reservations

• Checks in all passengers for a given confirmation number
• Secured via HTTPS
• Modern UI
• Modern background processing and job scheduling
• Full test suite

2. Required dependencies

   • Ruby 2.2 or greater
   • Postgres
   • Redis

3. After installing the aforementioned dependencies, install the ruby dependencies:

   bundle install

4. Create and seed the database:

   rake db:create db:migrate db:seed

5. Adding some basic test data for development:

   rake dev:prime

6. Copy .env.example to .env. The defaults should work in development.

   cp .env.example .env

7. Run the tests:

   rspec

8. Run the development server:

   rails s
   

9. Run sidekiq to process jobs:

   bundle exec sidekiq
   

Contributing

1. Fork it
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
4. Write rspec tests
5. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
6. Create new Pull Request

Create a script to launch everything
```
echo '#!/bin/sh
service postgresql restart
service redis-server restart
sleep 2
echo Starting rails
tmux new -s rails  -d
tmux send-keys  -t rails "cd /root/southwest-checkin/app" C-m
tmux send-keys  -t rails "rails s -b 0.0.0.0 -p 80 -e development" C-m
tmux new -s sidekiq -d
sleep 2
echo Starting sidekiq
tmux send-keys  -t sidekiq "cd /root/southwest-checkin" C-m
tmux send-keys  -t sidekiq "bundle exec sidekiq &" C-m' > /root/start.sh
```
Make it executable
```
chmod +x /root/start.sh
```
Make the script run on boot
```
sed -i -e 's|"exit 0"|removed|g' /etc/rc.local
sed -i -e 's|exit 0|/root/start.sh\nexit 0|g' /etc/rc.local
```
Disable apache (if apache is installed)
```
update-rc.d apache2 disable
```
Disable ipv6 (otherwise you will find issues with the mailer)
```
echo 'net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1' >> /etc/sysctl.conf
```
