usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Create and edit config/environments/<environment>.js from .js.example files.
|
|
You may find the ./configure script useful to make an edited copy for you,
|
|
see ```./configure --help``` for a list of supported switches.
|
|
|
|
Make sure redis is running and knows about active cartodb user.
|
|
|
|
Make sure your PostgreSQL server is running, is accessible on
|
|
the host and port specified in the <environment> file, has
|
|
a 'publicuser' role (or whatever you set ``db_pubuser`` configuration
|
|
directive to) and trusts user authentication from localhost
|
|
connections.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
node app.js <environment>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Supported <environment> values are development, test, production
|
|
|
|
See doc/API.md for API documentation.
|
|
For examples of use, see under test/.
|
|
|
|
|
|
tests
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Run with:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
npm test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If any issue arise see test/README.md
|
|
|
|
Note that the environment should be set to ensure the default
|
|
PostgreSQL user is superuser (PGUSER=postgres make check).
