Adventure Lookup

Repository of Adventure Lookup, proposed by /u/mattcolville.

Setting up a development environment

To get you up and running quickly, you should use Vagrant and VirtualBox to start up a VM with all the dependencies preinstalled.

After downloading and installing Vagrant and VirtualBox:

# Clone the repo to your local machine (this is readonly; you need to fork if you want write)
git clone [email protected]:AdventureLookup/AdventureLookup.git
 
cd AdventureLookup
 
# Create and provision the VM
vagrant up
 
# Log into the VM
vagrant ssh

Execute the following commands to finish the installation:

# Install PHP dependencies
composer install -n
 
# Install Frontend dependencies, can be run outside the virtual machine
npm install

# Setup database
php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate
 
# Create Elasticsearch index
php bin/console app:elasticsearch:reindex
 
# Import dummy adventures
php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load --fixtures src/AppBundle/DataFixtures/ORM/RandomAdventureData.php
php bin/console app:elasticsearch:reindex

If you didn't use Vagrant and use an existing MySQL database, adjust the app/config/parameters.yml file to match your database credentials.

Running the application

# Start Symfony development server on port 8000 to run the application
# Must be run inside the virtual machine you used `vagrant ssh` to get into earlier
php bin/console server:start 0.0.0.0:8000
 
# Start webpack to watch changes to assets and recompile them
# Can be run inside the virtual machine or outside of the virtual machine
# If run inside the virtual machine:
npm run dev-server-guest
# If run outside the virtual machine:
npm run dev-server-host

The application is now running at http://localhost:8000. ElasticSearch can be accessed at http://localhost:9200.

Running tests

Tests use PHPUnit to run. There are three testsuites, one with unit tests, one with functional tests and one with browser tests. Unit tests can be executed like this:

php vendor/symfony/phpunit-bridge/bin/simple-phpunit --testsuite unittests

Functional tests can be executed like so:

php vendor/symfony/phpunit-bridge/bin/simple-phpunit --testsuite functional

Browser tests require PhantomJS as well as the application running in the test environment. To do that, execute bash scripts/start-phantomjs.sh once before executing the tests. There is no need to call the script again until you reboot. Then execute the following to run the browser tests:

php vendor/symfony/phpunit-bridge/bin/simple-phpunit --testsuite browser

Running the application in production

Apache configuration

Install apache2 and libapache2-mod-php7.0. Create a VHost like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/AdventureLookup/web
    <Directory /var/www/html/AdventureLookup/web>
        AllowOverride All
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow from All
        <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
            Options -MultiViews
            RewriteEngine On
            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
            RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [QSA,L]
        </IfModule>
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

For more information about server configuration, checkout the Symfony guide on server config. Also, adjust adjust /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/security.conf to make Apache production-ready.
