Example Assignments for Use with the Ruby AutoGrader

Usual platform: linux or mac, ruby 1.9.3, git

Install:

• Fork on github, clone it, and cd there.
• git checkout develop or consider it for the latest.
• bundle install
• cucumber install

Git-immersion Note: For deployment, and feature tests using Octokit.client over 60/hr, you must do this!

• The OAuth ENV var GIT_IMMERSION_TOKEN used in mvp_spec.rb allows 5000/hr rate limit, whereas anonymous Octokit calls allow 60/hr.
• If not set, it will try to use anonymous connect. Pull requests from forks to AgileVentures/AutoGraderExamples are detected and try to use the anonymous connect.

To gain access to a higher rate limit:

• Generate the token on GitHub > Settings > Applications > Personal API Token with Zero Scopes. Uncheck all boxes to allow only read access of public data.
• For production deployment and Your local, it is set by admin (you?), eg in /etc/environment and start a new shell.
• For travis CI, it has been encrypted and added to .travis.yml under env:global:secure
• It is encrypted with gem install travis && travis encrypt GIT_IMMERSION_TOKEN=<a token>

Run:

• cucumber runs a feature per homework.
• cucumber features/git_immersion_testing.feature runs a single feature.
