Labwhere

A tool for tracking uniquely barcoded labware

Getting Started

1. Get the right Ruby version Make sure you have ruby-2.5.6 installed. e.g. rvm install ruby-2.5.6.

2. Create a new gemset and install bundler (if necessary)

   rvm use ruby-2.5.6@rails526 --create
   gem install bundler

3. Install the dependencies: bundle install

4. Set up the local database The local database uses mysql.

   bundle exec rails db:create
   bundle exec rails db:environment:set
   bundle exec rails db:schema:load

Running The Specs

bundle exec rspec

Running The Server

bundle exec rails server

Generating the API Documentation

bundle exec rails docs:api

The documentation is written in API Blueprint and converted to HTML using the Apiary CLI client gem.

The documentation will be available at /api.

Creating some dummy data

bundle exec rails db:reload

This will create a user, location types and locations in a nested structure similar to the live setup.

Generate the correct restrictions

bundle exec rails restrictions:create

This will limit certain location parentage when creating locations and other restrictions seen in app/data/restrictions

Removing all of the data

bundle exec rails db:clear

This will remove all of the existing data without resetting the database.

Creating some dummy labwares

bundle exec rails labwares:generate_barcodes[num]

num = number of labwares that will be created.

This will create a number of labware barcodes that can then be scanned into the scan page.

Pages

• Scan In/Out (home page): Scan labwares into a Location

• Upload Labware: Upload Labwares into a location

• Move Locations: Move any number of locations from one place to another (all child locations will also be moved)

• Empty Location: Remove all labwares from a location

• Configure: Administrator permissions are required but these pages allow you to create/update/deactivate Location Types, Locations, Users, Teams and Printers

Releases

UAT

Update .release-version with major/minor/patch. On merging a pull request into develop, a release will be created with the release version as the tag/name + -develop

PROD

Merging develop into master will create a release with the same name as the latest develop release but without the -develop suffix. You do NOT need to update .release-version

ERD

An ERD was created using the rails-erd gem by executing: bundle exec erd
