Development Setup

If you want to contribute to this project or set it up for local development:

Prerequisites

• Python 3.9 or higher
• Redis server running locally
• Git
• Autoconf
• Docker

It is reccommended that you use docker since it will automate much of dev env setup

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/yassi/dj-error-panel.git
cd dj-error-panel

2a. Set up dev environment using virtualenv

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

pip install -e . # install dj-error-panel package locally
pip intall -r requirements.txt  # install all dev requirements

# Alternatively
make install # this will also do the above in one single command

2b. Set up dev environment using docker

make docker_up  # bring up all services (redis, memached) and dev environment container
make docker_shell  # open up a shell in the docker conatiner

3. Set Up Example Project

The repository includes an example Django project for development and testing

cd example_project
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser

4. Populate Test Data (Optional)

Add any custom management commands for populating test data if needed.

6. Run the Development Server

python manage.py runserver

Visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ to access the Django admin with Dj Error Panel.

7. Running Tests

The project includes a comprehensive test suite. You can run them by using make or by invoking pytest directly:

# build and install all dev dependencies and run all tests inside of docker container
make test_docker

# Test without the docker on your host machine.
# note that testing always requires a redis and memcached service to be up.
# these are mostly easily brought up using docker
make test_local
