Ruby on Rails Course

If you are not familiar with linters and GitHub Actions, read root level README.

Set-up GitHub Actions

This GitHub Action is going to run Rubocop and Stylelint to help you find style issues.

Stylelint is a linter for your stylesheets that helps you avoid errors and enforce conventions.

Rubocop is a Ruby static code analyzer (a.k.a. linter) and code formatter. It will enforce many of the guidelines outlined in the community Ruby Style Guide.

Please do the following steps in this order:

1. In the first commit of your feature branch create a .github/workflows folder and add a copy of .github/workflows/linters.yml to that folder.
   • Remember to use the file linked above
   • Remember that .github folder starts with a dot.
2. Do not make any changes in config files - they represent style guidelines that you share with your team - which is a group of all Microverse students.
   • If you think that change is necessary - open a Pull Request in this repository and let your code reviewer know about it.
3. When you open your first pull request you should see the result of the GitHub Actions:

Set-up linters in your local env

Note: The npm package manager is going to create a node_modules directory to install all of your dependencies. You shouldn't commit that directory. To avoid that, you can create a .gitignore file and add node_modules to it:

# .gitignore
node_modules/

Rubocop

1. Add this line to the Gemfile

   gem 'rubocop', '>= 1.0', '< 2.0'
   

   not sure how to use Gemfile? Read this.
2. Run bundle install.
3. Copy .rubocop.yml to the root directory of your project
4. Do not make any changes in config files - they represent style guidelines that you share with your team - which is a group of all Microverse students.
   • If you think that change is necessary - open a Pull Request in this repository and let your code reviewer know about it.
5. Run rubocop.
6. Fix linter errors.
7. IMPORTANT NOTE: feel free to research auto-correct options for Rubocop if you get a flood of errors but keep in mind that correcting style errors manually will help you to make a habit of writing a clean code!

Stylelint

1. Run

   npm install --save-dev [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]
   

   not sure how to use npm? Read this.

2. Copy .stylelintrc.json to the root directory of your project.

3. Do not make any changes in config files - they represent style guidelines that you share with your tem - which is a group of all Microverse students.

   • If you think that change is necessary - open a Pull Request in this repository and let your code reviewer know about it.

4. Run npx stylelint "**/*.{css,scss}" on the root of your directory of your project.

5. Fix linter errors.

6. IMPORTANT NOTE: feel free to research auto-correct options for Stylelint if you get a flood of errors but keep in mind that correcting style errors manually will help you to make a habit of writing a clean code!

RSpec/Heroku Actions

Feel free to add your own deployment actions which can run your tests and deploy to Heroku.

Make sure that you do not modify the .github/workflows/linters.yml but that you create a separe GitHub Action workflow file for that.

• GitHub Actions with Ruby on Rails: Setting up Continuous Integration
• Deploying to Heroku from GitHub Actions
• Building a Rails CI pipeline with GitHub Actions
• Github Actions to run Rubocop and RSpec tests on Rails with Postgres

Troubleshooting

• If you are building an API only Rails application For API only Rails application you can remove the Stylelint config. To do so remove line no. 23 to 36 from the linter.yml file.
