To try Caseflow without going through the hastle of connecting to VBMS and VACOLS, just tell bundler to skip production gems when installing.

$ bundle install --without production staging

And by default, Rails will run in the development environment, which will mock out data.

$ rails s

To test the app connected to external dependencies follow

First you'll need to install the libraries required to connect to the VACOLS Oracle database:

1. Download the "Instant Client Package - Basic" and "Instant Client Package - SDK" for Mac 32 or 64bit.

2. Unzip both packages into /opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2

3. Setup both packages according to the Oracle documentation:

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2`
cd /opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2
sudo ln -s libclntsh.dylib.11.1 libclntsh.dylib

1. Download the "Instant Client Package - Basic" and "Instant Client Package - SDK" for Mac 32 or 64bit.

2. Unzip both packages into [DIR]

3. Add [DIR] to your PATH

Installation instructions TBD.

Now you'll be able to install the gems required to run the app connected to VBMS and VACOLS: $ bundle install --with staging

Set the development VACOLS credentials as environment variables.
(ask a team member for them)

export VACOLS_USERNAME=username
export VACOLS_PASSWORD=secret_password

Finally, just run Rails in the staging environment! $ rails s -e staging
