Installation and running
In a terminal, run:
./startup.sh
or using bowler:
bowl manuals-frontend
If you are using the GDS development virtual machine then the application will be available on the host at http://manuals-frontend.dev.gov.uk/
Running the tests
The test suite includes testing against govuk-content-schemas, so you will need a copy of this repo on your file system. By default this should be in a sibling directory to your project. Alternatively, you can specify their location with the GOVUK_CONTENT_SCHEMAS_PATH environment variable.
All tests can be run using bundle exec rake
as well.
Viewing a manual
You can see the content design manual at http://manuals-frontend.dev.gov.uk/guidance/content-design
Publishing a manual on dev
Manuals are published using manuals-publisher
to publish a manual run manuals-publisher
(instructions here: https://github.com/alphagov/manuals-publisher), publish a manual, and you should then be able to view it on manuals-frontend
. If you have replicated from preview recently then you should be able to see currently published manuals at http://manuals-frontend.dev.gov.uk/[preview-slug] too.
