Getting Started

The ActiveFedora Console Tour gives you a brief tour through ActiveFedora’s features on the command line.

Installation

In order to run the RSpec tests, you need to have a copy of the ActiveFedora source code, and then run bundle install in the source directory.

git clone https://github.com/mediashelf/active_fedora.git
cd /wherever/active_fedora/is
bundle install

Testing with Hudson Rake Task

The hudson rake task will spin up jetty, import the fixtures, and run the tests for you.

  rake hudson

Testing Manually

If you want to run the tests manually, follow these instructions.

You need to have a copy of hydra-jetty running. To do this, download a working copy of hydra-jetty, cd into its root and run

java -jar start.jar

Then open a new terminal, go to your ActiveFedora source directory, and import fedora’s demo objects.

  rake active_fedora:load_fixtures RAILS_ENV=test

This does the equivalent of:

cd /wherever/active_fedora/is
export FEDORA_HOME=/path/to/hydra/jetty/fedora/default
$FEDORA_HOME/client/bin/fedora-ingest-demos.sh localhost 8983 fedoraAdmin fedoraAdmin http
rake af:import_fixture pid=hydrangea:fixture_mods_article1 RAILS_ENV=test

Now you’re ready to run the tests. In the directory where active_fedora is installed, run

  rake spec
