In commit 64bcedc8b, we upgraded Sass from version 1.70 to version 1.80.
However, since then we've noticed a couple of inconvenient things.
First, we're getting some deprecation warnings when compiling the
assets, related to a usage of `map-has-key` in Foundation which is
deprecated since Sass 1.80. Even with the `quiet_deps` flag, these
warnings aren't silenced.
Second, version 1.79 changed the way color functions work [1]. In
particular, functions like `color.adjust` or `darken` would now generate
RGB colors that include float numbers [2]. Browser support for float values
in RGB colors is about 98% at the time of writing [3], meaning some
browsers that are at least 5 or 6 years old will not render these
colors, sometimes resulting in white text over a white background, which
is of course impossible to read.
Finally, we get some deprecation warnings in our code when we remove the
`quiet_deps` flag, caused by the breaking change in mixed declaration
[4] from version 1.77.7 [5]. This warning is tricky; consider the following
code:
```
@mixin normal-selection {
&::selection,
*::selection {
@include background-with-text-contrast($brand, brand, $check-invert-selection: false);
}
}
.button.hollow {
@include normal-selection;
border: 1px solid;
}
```
In this scenario, since normal-selection is a mixin that generates a
nested rule, we're doing a declaration after a nested rule, which is now
deprecated.
The situation gets even more complicated when we define mixins that have
both nested rules and rules that apply to the element itself. Currently,
we sometimes include a mixin and then override some of the properties
the mixin defines, but we wouldn't be able to do so if we can't define
properties after including the mixin.
Right now, the solution seems to be adding `& { }` selectors
after including a mixin, like this:
```
.button.hollow {
@include normal-selection;
& {
border: 1px solid;
}
}
```
Which is incredibly cumbersome.
So, for now, we're downgrading to version 1.77.5 (we would downgrade to
version 1.77.6, but the sass-embedded gem skipped that version). That
version was released in June 2024, so it isn't very old yet. In the
future, we'll see what to do about the issues mentioned above, since
we'll have to upgrade at some point.
Note we're removing the `silence_deprecations` flag because Sass 1.77
doesn't raise warnings about using `import`.

CONSUL DEMOCRACY
Citizen Participation and Open Government Application
This is the opensource code repository of the eParticipation website CONSUL DEMOCRACY, originally developed for the Madrid City government eParticipation website, and currently maintained by the open source software community in collaboration with the CONSUL DEMOCRACY Foundation.
Documentation
Check the ongoing documentation to learn more about how to start your own CONSUL DEMOCRACY fork, install it, customize it and learn to use it as an administrator/maintainer.
CONSUL DEMOCRACY Foundation and project website
You can access the main website of the project at http://consuldemocracy.org where you can find information about the use of the platform, the CONSUL DEMOCRACY Foundation, the global community of users and local partners, news, and ways to get more support or get in touch.
Configuration for development and test environments
NOTE: For more detailed instructions, check the local installation docs.
Prerequisites: install git, Ruby 3.2.7, CMake, pkg-config, Node.js 18.20.3, ImageMagick and PostgreSQL (>=9.5).
Note: The bin/setup command below might fail if you've configured a username and password for PostgreSQL. If that's the case, edit the lines containing username: and password: (adding your credentials) in the config/database.yml file and run bin/setup again.
git clone https://github.com/consuldemocracy/consuldemocracy.git
cd consuldemocracy
bin/setup
bin/rake db:dev_seed
Run the app locally:
bin/rails s
You can run the tests with:
bin/rspec
Note: running the whole test suite on your machine might take more than an hour, so it's strongly recommended that you setup a Continuous Integration system in order to run them using parallel jobs every time you open or modify a pull request (if you use GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, this is already configured in .github/workflows/tests.yml and .gitlab-ci.yml) and only run tests related to your current task while developing on your machine. When you configure the application for the first time, it's recommended that you run at least one test in spec/models/ and one test in spec/system/ to check your machine is properly configured to run the tests.
You can use the default admin user from the seeds file:
user: admin@consul.dev pass: 12345678
But for some actions like voting, you will need a verified user, the seeds file also includes one:
user: verified@consul.dev pass: 12345678
Configuration for production environments

Current state
Development started on 2015 July 15th. Code was deployed to production on 2015 september 7th to decide.madrid.es. Since then new features are added often. You can take a look at the current features at the project's website and future features at the Roadmap and open issues list.
