Currently dependabot is failing to upgrade some gems that are part of Rails. For example, when there's a security issue in ActiveRecord or ActiveStorage, we get messages like: ``` Dependabot cannot update activestorage to a non-vulnerable version. The latest possible version that can be installed is 7.1.5.1 because of the following conflicting dependencies: rails (7.1.5.1) requires activestorage (= 7.1.5.1) via actionmailbox (7.1.5.1) rails (7.1.5.1) requires activestorage (= 7.1.5.1) via actiontext (7.1.5.1) rails (7.1.5.1) requires activestorage (= 7.1.5.1) The earliest fixed version is 7.1.5.2. ``` So we're relaxing the dependency in order to make it easier for dependabot to upgrade gems that are part of Rails. Note that, with this configuration, Dependabot wouldn't be able to upgrade to Rails 7.1.6 if this releases fixed a security issues in a gem that is part of Rails. We might still need to upgrade Rails manually in this case.
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: The installation process will vary depending on your operating system. Please make sure to follow the Local Installation Guide appropriate for your OS.
Prerequisites: install git, Ruby 3.3.8, CMake, pkg-config, Node.js 20.19.2, 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.
