GSoC 2013: Week 5 of Grandham project

Last week, I implemented different parts of the application including the basics of user authorization. Also did a work on refactoring the code base, our tests are clean now.

New features

We now have a page to display information of a specific book, which can be navigated from the books list. This page will eventually contain all the information, including location information and links to download the entire MARC data.

User authorization has been added to Grandham using the gem 'devise'. Devise provides beautiful forms required for various user-authorization needs, I customized them to work with the look and feel for Grandham. Some of them are here:

 

 

 

(Social login needs to be implemented in coming weeks)

Our test suite was starting to clutter and due to a problem in factories the CI has been failing randomly. I've refactored the test suite and now it all works fine.

Miscellaneous 

In other news, we have switched the browser to run tests from selenium - firefox to poltergeist - phantomjs. It helps us to run tests faster. Also I've updated our API and data import script.
