We were tracking some events with Ahoy, but in an inconsistent way. For example, we were tracking when a debate was created, but (probably accidentally) we were only tracking proposals when they were created from the management section. For budget investments and their supports, we weren't using Ahoy events but checking their database tables instead. And we were only using ahoy events for the charts; for the other stats, we were using the real data. While we could actually fix these issues and start tracking events correctly, existing production data would remain broken because we didn't track a certain event when it happened. And, besides, why should we bother, for instance, to track when a debate is created, when we can instead access that information in the debates table? There are probably some features related to tracking an event and their visits, but we weren't using them, and we were storing more user data than we needed to. So we're removing the track events, allowing us to simplify the code and make it more consistent. We aren't removing the `ahoy_events` table in case existing Consul Democracy installations use it, but we'll remove it after releasing version 2.2.0 and adding a warning in the release notes. This change fixes the proposal created chart, since we were only tracking proposals created in the management section, and opens the possibility to add more charts in the future using data we didn't track with Ahoy. Also note the "Level 2 user Graph" test wasn't testing the graph, so we're changing it in order to test it. We're also moving it next to the other graphs test and, since we were tracking the event when we were confirming the phone, we're renaming to "Level 3 users". Finally, note that, since we were tracking events when something was created, we're including the `with_hidden` scope. This is also consistent with the other stats shown in the admin section as well as the public stats.
CONSUL DEMOCRACY

Configuration for development and test environments
NOTE: For more detailed instructions check the docs
Prerequisites: install git, Ruby 3.2.3, CMake, pkg-config, shared-mime-info, Node.js 18.18.2 and PostgreSQL (>=9.5).
git clone https://github.com/consuldemocracy/consuldemocracy.git
cd consuldemocracy
bin/setup
bin/rake db:dev_seed
Run the app locally:
bin/rails s
Run the tests with:
bin/rspec
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
See installer
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.
