Using `travel` we go to `Time.now + interval`. If the application's time zone changes due to seasonal clock changes during that interval, we might travel to a time which is not the time we intended to travel to. Example: On a system using the UTC time zone, it's 9AM on October 25 (Friday). Since by default CONSUL uses the Madrid time zone, it means the application's time is 11AM. We use `travel` to advance three days. That means we go to 9AM UTC on October 28 (Monday). The application's time will be 10AM due to the seasonal clock change, so we haven't fully traveled three days in application's time. To reproduce locally, run: ``` TZ=UTC rspec spec/system/proposal_notifications_spec.rb:410 ``` Using `travel_to` with `3.days.from_now`, which uses the application's time zone and so it will travel to October 28 at 11AM, solves the problem.

Configuration for development and test environments
NOTE: For more detailed instructions check the docs
Prerequisites: install git, Ruby 2.5.8, bundler gem, Node.js and PostgreSQL (>=9.4).
git clone https://github.com/consul/consul.git
cd consul
bundle install
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
cp config/secrets.yml.example config/secrets.yml
bin/rake db:create
bin/rake db:migrate
bin/rake db:dev_seed
RAILS_ENV=test rake db:setup
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.
