Flint Project

Flint is the HTML5 Space Center controls platform. Flint uses Meteor as its core platform.

Prerequisites

The Flint project requires familiarity with the command line on Windows, Mac, or Linux. You will need administrative privileges to run, as well.

If you aren't familliar with what cd or your command line does, then first take the CLI Crashcourse on Learn Code the Hard Way.

Getting Started

1. Fire up your Terminal
2. Run curl https://install.meteor.com | sh to install Meteor
3. Visit NodeJS.org and get the installer for your platform
4. Run the installer. You now have NodeJS (Which we may need at some point) and NPM (which we need in the next step!)
5. If you don't already have git, download it from git-scm.org and install it.

• Find out if you have git by running which git on your command line. If it shows something like /usr/bin/git then you have it!

6. cd to the directory you'd like to keep Flint and clone it by running git clone https://bitbucket.org/infinitedev/flint.git
7. To run the project, simply fire up meteor --settings settings.json

• You may need to create the settings.json file with new keys, based on settings.json.sample
• Make sure you change the 'audioMatrix' key to false

Contributing

All Javascript code contributions must pass JSHint testing. JSHint automatically tests all code

Unit testing is in development, and will follow the meteor test-packages standard. More documentation on using Tinytest is forthcoming.

Testing

NOTE -- Testing is still in development for Flint and Meteor. The easiest way to get started is to run the following command:

# To test a specific package-name
VELOCITY_TEST_PACKAGES=1 meteor test-packages --driver-package velocity:html-reporter package-name

# To test all packages
VELOCITY_TEST_PACKAGES=1 meteor test-packages --driver-package velocity:html-reporter

(The instructions that don't work yet for unknown reasons): Tests run with the velocity testing framework with jasmine and the html-reporter, the de-facto testing system for Meteor. To get started:

1. Install Velocity with npm install -g velocity
2. To test the whole app, run velocity test-app
3. To test a single package, run velocity test-package package-name
4. To test all packages, run velocity test-packages

In each case, visit http://localhost:3000 to view the tests.

For more information on testing meteor apps, see https://velocity.readme.io/ and http://www.meteortesting.com/.
