While there are plenty of services targeted for dogs, cat owners are left to suit for themselves when the holiday season starts. Cats are known to be anxious travelers and are less likely to accompany their owners even during short domestic trips. Often it is friends and family members taking on the pet sitting duty, yet it is not a reliable solution during summer season when most swedes try to escape the city themselves. Pet boarding centers and hotels are expensive and get fully booked quickly. Individual pet sitters offer home visits, although it is a poor solution for longer periods of time. There is no single service that solves “But what about the cat?” problem, when cat owners are going away for more than couple of days.
KattBNB is an online peer-to-peer marketplace, that lets cat sitters offer their services and cat owners pick a pet sitter that is nearest or in other ways most convenient to them.
The API part of the application was request and unit tested using Rspec.
To be able to run the tests, run bundle install in your terminal as soon as you fork this repository.
You must also have the database migrations in place, in order for everything to work properly. So in your terminal run rails db:migrate. In case this command produces an error, you can run rails db:drop db:setup.
After that, use bundle exec rspec to run all tests avoiding any conflicts with the gems of this repo and your locally installed gems.
Unit and request tests can be found in the spec/models and spec/requests folders respectively.
SimpleCov is used to measure the API's test coverage.
The Client part of the application was acceptance tested using Cypress.
All API calls are handled using mock data json files, which can be found in the cypress/fixtures folder. Before you run any tests, execute npm install in your terminal to download all packages.
After that, use npm run cy:open to launch a local server instance of the application and run all acceptance tests of Cypress.
Acceptance tests can be found in the cypress/integration folder.
