* All access control logic is now in access.py * It exports a single method for general use: has_access(user, object, action) - possible actions depend on object type (e.g. 'see_exists', 'enroll', 'staff') * Removed DARK_LAUNCH feature flag--it is now the default behavior * Replaced check_course with three separate more focused functions that use has_access Minor things: * note on using pdb in testing * moved time parsing helper into timeparse.py * x_modules now have a .start attribute (None if not in metadata)

# Running the CMS
|
|
|
|
One can start the CMS by running `rake cms`. This will run the server on localhost
|
|
port 8001.
|
|
|
|
However, the server also needs data to work from.
|
|
|
|
## Installing Mongodb
|
|
|
|
Please see http://www.mongodb.org/downloads for more detailed instructions.
|
|
|
|
### Ubuntu
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install mongodb
|
|
|
|
### OSX
|
|
|
|
Use the MacPorts package `mongodb` or the Homebrew formula `mongodb`
|
|
|
|
## Initializing Mongodb
|
|
|
|
Check out the course data directories that you want to work with into the
|
|
`GITHUB_REPO_ROOT` (by default, `../data`). Then run the following command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
rake django-admin[import,cms,dev,../data]
|
|
|
|
Replace `../data` with your `GITHUB_REPO_ROOT` if it's not the default value.
|
|
|
|
This will import all courses in your data directory into mongodb
|
|
|
|
## Unit tests
|
|
|
|
This runs all the tests (long, uses collectstatic):
|
|
|
|
rake test
|
|
|
|
If if you aren't changing static files, can run `rake test` once, then run
|
|
|
|
rake fasttest_{lms,cms}
|
|
|
|
xmodule can be tested independently, with this:
|
|
|
|
rake test_common/lib/xmodule
|
|
|
|
To see all available rake commands, do this:
|
|
|
|
rake -T
|
|
|
|
To run a single django test class:
|
|
|
|
django-admin.py test --settings=lms.envs.test --pythonpath=. lms/djangoapps/courseware/tests/tests.py:TestViewAuth
|
|
|
|
To run a single django test:
|
|
|
|
django-admin.py test --settings=lms.envs.test --pythonpath=. lms/djangoapps/courseware/tests/tests.py:TestViewAuth.test_dark_launch
|
|
|
|
|
|
To run a single nose test file:
|
|
|
|
nosetests common/lib/xmodule/xmodule/tests/test_stringify.py
|
|
|
|
To run a single nose test:
|
|
|
|
nosetests common/lib/xmodule/xmodule/tests/test_stringify.py:test_stringify
|
|
|
|
|
|
Very handy: if you uncomment the `--pdb` argument in `NOSE_ARGS` in `lms/envs/test.py`, it will drop you into pdb on error. This lets you go up and down the stack and see what the values of the variables are. Check out http://docs.python.org/library/pdb.html
