You need a postres-database running on localhost:5432. With the default settings, the username and password alike have to be 'postgres'. However, this can be changed in the application.properties file under 'uk223_BlogPost\backend\src\main\resources\application.properties'.
If you have Docker Desktop installed, you can create a new postgres container with the default password with the following command:
docker run --name postgres-db -e POSTGRES_USER=postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -p 5432:5432 -d postgres
Next open the backend folder in IntelliJ and start the backend. In the console it should inform you, when the backend is started.
At last, open the frontend folder in Visual Studio Code () and start the frontend in the Console with the commands yarn, followed by yarn start. For this you work you need to have npm as well as yarn installed.
Important Note for Mac Users: Should any problems occur whilst trying to start the frontend, try running yarn start:safe. This is due to an error which occured during development with the m2-chip in one of our devices.
| Role | Username | Password |
|---|---|---|
| Admin | admin@example.com | 1234 |
| User | user@example.com | 1234 |
When the whole application-stack is running, you can run all cypress tests in a second Visual Studio Code Terminal with yarn cypress run. More experienced Users can also use cypress with yarn cypress open and continue from there.
The Postman Collection and Enviroment needs to be inported into Postman from the 'res'-Folder. Once imported, it can be run as it is in a Runner-Window.
