Automatically checks in passengers for their Southwest Flight.
Version 2.0 of this project is a complete rewrite of the service. The brittle HTML parsing and form submissions are a thing of the past. A much better approach is being taken to automate checkins. And, importantly, the new version has a robust test suite. It is even written in a new language (Ruby) and framework (Rails).
If you are interested in the old version, see the 1.0 branch.

Create and seed the database:
rake db:create db:migrate db:seed
-
Adding some basic test data for development:
rake dev:prime
-
Copy
.env.exampleto.env. The defaults should work in development.cp .env.example .env
-
Run the tests:
rspec
-
Run the development server:
rails s -
Run sidekiq to process jobs:
bundle exec sidekiq
- Fork it
- Create your feature branch (
git checkout -b my-new-feature) - Commit your changes (
git commit -am 'Add some feature') - Write rspec tests
- Push to the branch (
git push origin my-new-feature) - Create new Pull Request

```
Populate the db
```
rake db:create db:migrate db:seed
```
Create a config file replace your website, email, and email server. It must accept mail on port 587 with tls.
```

Create a script to launch everything
```
echo '#!/bin/sh
service postgresql restart
service redis-server restart
sleep 2
echo Starting rails
tmux new -s rails -d
tmux send-keys -t rails "cd /root/southwest-checkin/app" C-m
tmux send-keys -t rails "rails s -b 0.0.0.0 -p 80 -e development" C-m
tmux new -s sidekiq -d
sleep 2
echo Starting sidekiq
tmux send-keys -t sidekiq "cd /root/southwest-checkin" C-m
tmux send-keys -t sidekiq "bundle exec sidekiq &" C-m' > /root/start.sh
```
Make it executable
```
chmod +x /root/start.sh
```
Make the script run on boot
```
sed -i -e 's|"exit 0"|removed|g' /etc/rc.local
sed -i -e 's|exit 0|/root/start.sh\nexit 0|g' /etc/rc.local
```
Disable apache (if apache is installed)
```
update-rc.d apache2 disable
```
Disable ipv6 (otherwise you will find issues with the mailer)
```
echo 'net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1' >> /etc/sysctl.conf
```
