Set up Askbot project in Codeship
Update:
Askbot just upgraded their Django-avatar version so we don’t have to compile PIL anymore.
Codeship is a great tool for private continuous integration system. But setting up a project that uses Askbot can be a bit troublesome, since we have to compile PIL to support avatar module in offerQA. Mainly because it is not possible to symblink /usr/include/freetype2 to /usr/include/freetype. But later I realized that pip also searches in ~/.virtualenv/include folder so things became much easier. A local_setting file is also created specifically for Codeship database and Redis. Here is my setup commands:
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt pip install redis # Use settings for CI ln -s local_settings.ci local_settings.py # Sync your DB for django projects python manage.py syncdb --noinput # Run migrations for your django project python manage.py migrate --noinput
And here is my test commands:
# Running your Django tests python manage.py test
The local_settings.ci file:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', 'NAME': 'default.db', 'USER': '', 'PASSWORD': '', 'HOST': '', 'PORT': '' } } CACHES = { 'default': { 'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.locmem.LocMemCache', 'LOCATION': 'offerqa', 'CACHE_TIMEOUT' : 60, 'KEY_PREFIX': 'askbot', } }
