To create a
normal user account
, just go to Sign Up and fill out the form. Once you submit it, you'll see a "Verify Your E-mail Address" page. Go to your console to see a simulated email verification message. Copy the link into your browser. Now the user's email should be verified and ready to go.
-
To create a
superuser account
, use this command:
$ python manage.py createsuperuser
For convenience, you can keep your normal user logged in on Chrome and your superuser logged in on Firefox (or similar), so that you can see how the site behaves for both kinds of users.
Running type checks with mypy:
$ mypy {{cookiecutter.project_slug}}
To run the tests, check your test coverage, and generate an HTML coverage report:
$ coverage run -m pytest
$ coverage html
$ open htmlcov/index.html

{%- if cookiecutter.use_celery == "y" %}
This app comes with Celery.
To run a celery worker:
cd
{{cookiecutter.project_slug}}
celery -A config.celery_app worker -l info
Please note: For Celery's import magic to work, it is important
where
the celery commands are run. If you are in the same folder with
manage.py
, you should be right.
To run
periodic tasks
, you'll need to start the celery beat scheduler service. You can start it as a standalone process:
cd
{{cookiecutter.project_slug}}
celery -A config.celery_app beat
or you can embed the beat service inside a worker with the
-B
option (not recommended for production use):
cd
{{cookiecutter.project_slug}}
celery -A config.celery_app worker -B -l info
