Spacialist

Spacialist is a customizable Web-based platform for collecting, managing, analyzing and publishing research data with a focus on the integration of object-related and spatial data for the digital humanities.

Installation

Installation procedures and system requirements are described here. Important! Please read the installation file before any update for breaking changes or any other important steps that may break the update!

Plugins (Beta)

Since Release Isfahan Spacialist is extensible by plugins. If you are a developer and want to create your own plugin, please refer to this HowTo Guide.

A list with all available plugins is coming soon.

Testing

All PHPUnit tests are based on the TestingSeeder seed. To run tests, follow these steps:

  • Create a new database and a .env.testing file (e.g. with cp .env .env.testing) and reference the DB in your .env.testing.
  • Run php artisan app:test --refresh --skip This will:
1. Run migrations php artisan migrate --env=testing 2. Run seeds php artisan db:seed --class=TestingSeeder --env=testing
  • Run php artisan test or vendor/bin/phpunit
1. To generate an interactive code coverage report either run php artisan test --coverage-html build/logs or vendor/bin/phpunit --coverage-html build/logs and open build/logs/index.html to view results (Please note: xdebug-php-extension required!)

Run specific tests

You can also run specific tests in isolation:
# Runs a specific test file
php artisan test --filter NameOfTestFile

Runs a specific test inside the specified test file

php artisan test tests/Feature/MyTestFile.php --filter testTargetMethod

Note: To re-run all migrations you can use this command php artisan migrate:fresh --seed --seeder=TestingSeeder --env=testing
