ATST

Installation

script/setup

The setup script installs pipenv, which is what this application uses to manage its dependences and virtualenv. Instead of the classic requirements.txt file, pipenv uses a Pipfile and Pipfile.lock, making it more similar to other modern package managers like yarn or mix.

To enter the virtualenv manually (a la source .venv/bin/activate):

pipenv shell

If you want to automatically load the virtual environment whenever you enter the project directory, take a look at direnv. An .envrc file is included in this repository. direnv will activate and deactivate virtualenvs for you when you enter and leave the directory.

Additionally, ATST requires a redis instance for session management. Have redis installed and running. By default, ATST will try to connect to a redis instance running on localhost on its default port, 6379.

Running (development)

To start the app and watch for changes:

DEBUG=1 script/server

Testing

To run unit tests:

script/test

or

python -m pytest

Notes

tornado templates are like mustache templates -- add the following to ~/.vim/filetype.vim for syntax highlighting:
