DALIA's backend Django application server

Development setup

Requirements

• Python 3 (Which version? ... Works in 3.11)
• pip
• Docker (if using Testcontainers in tests)

Setup

Clone this repo:

git clone https://git.rwth-aachen.de/dalia/backend/django.git

Create and activate a virtual environment:

cd django
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate

Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

Running tests using Testcontainers

Testcontainers is used to provide DALIA's Fuseki triplestore as dependency during tests via the triplestore pytest fixture.

To run tests:

pytest

Running tests using a custom triplestore URL

The triplestore pytest fixture can also be configured to use a custom URL to DALIA's Fuseki triplestore. This can be achieved by using the TRIPLESTORE_URL environment variable.

To run tests:

TRIPLESTORE_URL="http://127.0.0.1:3030/" pytest

Starting Django in "development mode"

Note: You may need to alter DALIA_TRIPLESTORE_BASE_URL in project/settings.py to the correct address of DALIA's Fuseki triplestore.

To start Django:

./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
