Run the development server in the standard way:
python manage.py runserver
To process scans, you’ll need to also run the celery deamon:
python manage.py celeryd
Note
Previous versions of Between the Bars used a custom wrapper for runserver which performed compilation of assets. This is now handled automatically by django_compressor.
BtB ships with a small bit of test data to make sure things are working properly. Generate and load this data with the following management command:
python manage.py import_test_data
The data is described in a YAML file located in scanblog/media/test/test_data.yaml.
Between the Bars includes unit tests and integration tests. Run unit tests with:
python manage.py test
Integration tests run with selenium webdriver, which runs a real, scripted
webbrowser to test the full stack of frontend and backend functionality. Due
to the heavy weight of launching and testing with a full browser, these tests
are excluded from the default testrunner, and must be run explicitly:
python manage.py test btb
Note
Some combinations of different selenium webdriver and firefox versions have
difficulty with native operations (such as mouse drags) or file uploads.
We’ve found Selenium 2.20 and Firefox 10.0 to be a winning combination.
Download an old firefox binary here,
and specify the path to this binary in settings.SELENIUM_FIREFOX_BIN, e.g.:
SELENIUM_FIREFOX_BIN = "/path/to/firefox_10/firefox
Note
Previous versions of Between the Bars used lettuce for tests. This has been removed in favor of the standard Django test framework.
