Discovery interface for NEOS Libraries

This is the code base for the NEOS Libraries discovery platform. Based on Project Blacklight.

• Depends on Ruby 2.6.x
• Depends on Bundler 1.17.3
• Depends on an instance of Solr with this configuration
• Depends on a SQL database (sqlite in development and MySQL in staging/production)

To get the application up and running for development:

Setup up Discovery application.
This will get you production like data in Solr. Ensure that Solr is running but the rails server is not.

1. clone this repository (git clone https://github.com/ualbertalib/NEOSDiscovery)
2. run bundle install
3. bundle exec rails db:create && bundle exec rails db:migrate
4. bundle exec rails s
5. Point your browser to http://localhost:3000/

Testing

At this time there is not a comprehensive test suite. There were tests which only cover the holdings table but they don't seem to be passing.

These are the main functions of the application

Releases

Before release bump CHANGELOG and VERSION. For example: https://github.com/ualbertalib/NEOSDiscovery/commit/6603dfe7546f9b40b236d7a47f546a2d7957c3df

Then tag a release using sematic versioning major.minor.patch. For example: 1.0.72

Historically Neil MacGregor has been our contact for deployment into staging (fowey) and production (haxby, neo-web-prd-1).
