A demo app showing a simple service using flask and some supporting packages
- Docker Desktop (Mac or Windows)
- Python / Flask
- MySQL and SQLAlchemy
- Gunicorn
It is recommended that you run two terminal tabs/windows, one for running the services and the other for running tests.
To build and run the services, run this:
docker-compose up
The application will automatically restart with any changes you make to the source files. The API is available at http://localhost:5005 for you to test manually.
Once the services are up, the database is empty. Run this to migrate the database:
docker-compose exec connections flask db upgrade
The following will run all tests. None should be failing as part of the submission.
docker-compose exec connections pytest
Optionally, you can run a specific test by matching keywords
docker-compose exec connections pytest -k test_create_person
Adding the -s option will run tests without swallowing print statements and may be useful for debugging:
docker-compose exec connections pytest -s
When you are complete, you can Control-C on the window running the services to stop them. This command will cleanup any volumes created (also allows starting fresh if something is not working):
docker-compose down -v
