Challenges:
- App exploded when tried to install bootstrap, used Heroku clone to recover
- Searching databases and filtering selections
- Resolved absolute file paths not being recognised when uploading to Heroku. Fixed data migration files and relocated CSV files to the root directory. Compiled successfully with this code:
require 'fileutils'require 'csv'
class AddIdeaData < ActiveRecord::Migration
def up
filepath = Rails.root.join("ideas.csv")
# locate the csv file in your /public folder if File.exist?(filepath) CSV.foreach(filepath)do |col| Idea.create(:name => col[0].to_s, :description => col[1].to_s, :author => col[6].to_s, :url => col[7].to_s, :country => col[8].to_s) end else raise "No file exists with name: #{filepath}" end end
def down Idea.all.destroy # only with team permission end
end
