Warwick Codesoc website. Built using Flask. Originally owned by Warwick Coding Society's founder Adriano Barbet and contributed to by ex-Presidents Piotr Zychlinksi and Alfie-Joe Smith.

• Changes to blog posts, exec members, sponsor news and sponsors can be made in the data/ directory.
• Add events via the Warwick Coding Society GMail account in the Google Calendar.
  • Valid event prefixes include:
    • careers@
    • courses@
    • event@
    • social@
  • So for example, event@ CodeSoc Pub Night

• First download the code from the repository
• Ensure both clean.sh and setup.sh have execute permissions, you can do this with chmod u+x scriptname.sh
• Run the setup.sh script to install required dependancies. You must have python3 installed for this to work
• Start the virtual environment by running . venv/bin/activate
• Install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt
• Define the file to run using export FLASK_APP=codesoc.py
• Build the database with python -m flask db-reset
• Run the development server with python -m flask run

You should now be able to view the website on the address specified by the server output, usually 127.0.0.1:5000

Make sure your dependencies are installed:

./setup.sh
. venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install requirements.txt

You can validate data changes in the data/ directory by using the flask command:

python -m flask db-validate

You can regenerate the SQLite database with:

python -m flask db-reset

When making changes to the database schema (models in db_schema.py):

1. Create a migration after modifying the models:

   export FLASK_APP=codesoc.py
   flask db migrate -m "Description of your changes"

2. Apply the migration:

   flask db upgrade

3. Reset database with new schema:

   flask db-reset

If you encounter migration conflicts or "table already exists" errors:

1. Check current migration status:

   flask db current

2. If database is inconsistent, stamp it as current:

   flask db stamp head

3. Then create and apply your new migration:

   flask db migrate -m "Your changes"
   flask db upgrade
   flask db-reset

The validation is ran per-PR and is required to merge. Build validation is also completed after.
