A rails application using neo4j.rb and neo4j graph database

Movies rails application using Neo4j

This is a project example similar to movies-ruby-neo4j-core but using rails and the latest version of neo4j

Why?

Because I wanted to update to the latest ruby library and I wanted to have tests in the example project.

Setup

You need to start neo4j and set up the environment variable NEO4J_URL

neo4j start
echo NEO4J_URL=http://user:password@localhost:7474/ >> .env

Also, you need to install and setup the test database

rake neo4j:install[community-2.2.4,test]
rake neo4j:config[test,7475]
echo NEO4J_URL=http://localhost:7475/ >> .env.test

Test

In order to run the test suite you need to run a test instance of neo4j

rake neo4j:start[test]
guard

I am skipping the seed tests with Guard, but you can test the seed task manually with

rspec spec/lib/tasks/db_spec.rb

seed the database

rake db:seed

Issues

installing liibv8

run this command. You can read more here

gem install libv8 -v '3.16.14.11' -- --with-system-v8
