Run locally

To run this module locally, we use Docker-compose:

docker-compose up

This will run a decidim-user_fields container, which sleeps. You can run any command you want in the running container, like:

Command	Description
docker-compose exec -it decidim-user_fields bundle exec rails db:seed	Seed the database (run on localhost:3000)
docker-compose exec -it decidim-user_fields bin/webpack-dev-server	Compile assets and watch for changes
docker-compose exec -it decidim-user_fields bin/rails s -b 0.0.0.0	Run the Rails server in development
docker-compose exec -it decidim-user_fields bundle exec rspec /home/decidim/module/spec	Run tests for the module
docker-compose exec -it decidim-user_fields bundle exec rubocop -a /home/decidim/module	Correct lint errors with RuboCop
docker-compose exec -it decidim-user_fields bash	Navigate your container in bash

While developing locally, you have two environment variables that can help you:

• ROOT: the root of the application using the module
• MODULE_ROOT: the place where your gem code is.
