# Starting the application
|
|
|
|
We're a Rails app, and we use [Webpacker][webpacker] to manage some of
|
|
our JavaScript.
|
|
|
|
Start the application, Webpack, and our job runner [delayed_job][delayed_job]
|
|
by running:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
bin/startup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(This just runs `foreman start -f Procfile.dev`)
|
|
|
|
If you're working on DEV regularly, you can use `alias start="bin/startup"` to
|
|
make this even easier. 😊
|
|
|
|
If you're using **`pry`** for debugging in Rails, note that using `foreman`
|
|
and `pry` together works, but it's not as clean as `bin/rails server`.
|
|
|
|
Here are some singleton commands you may need, usually in a separate
|
|
instance/tab of your shell.
|
|
|
|
- Running the job server (if using `bin/rails server`) -- this is mostly for
|
|
notifications and emails: **`bin/rails jobs:work`**
|
|
- Clearing jobs (in case you don't want to wait for the backlog of jobs):
|
|
**`bin/rails jobs:clear`**
|
|
|
|
Current gotchas: potential environment issues with external services need to be
|
|
worked out.
