TTC Website

The source code for the Transformation Tool Contest website. We use Ruby's middleman gem to allow us to generate a static website. This allows us to use ERB and other niceties in development mode.

Installation

To modify the website, you'll need to install Ruby 2.7.7.

With Ubuntu 22.04, it's best to use rvm to do this. First, install rvm according to the official instructions. Then, install a rvm-specific version of openssl rather than the global one (which is too new for older Rubies):

rvm pkg install openssl

You should be able to install Ruby 2.7.7 with that openssl:

rvm install ruby-2.7.7 --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr

You can then install Bundler 1.17.3 (the latest version that Middleman 3.2.2 is compatible with):

gem install bundler:1.17.3

Now you can run bundle install to download the dependencies for the project.

The following workflow is used to make changes to the website:

  1. Run bundle exec middleman to start a development server.
  2. Edit the source code until you are happy with your changes.
  3. Commit your changes to the Git repository and push them to Github (git push origin).

If you also wish to deploy your changes to the live website then:

  1. Run bundle exec middleman build, which will create HTML / CSS / JS in the build directory.
  2. Run bundle exec middleman deploy, which will switch the production server to the newly built website.

Notes

We currently serve the live website from our Github Pages repository for the TransformationToolContext organisation. It can take a few minutes for Github Pages to update.

Our domain name (http://transformation-tool-contest.eu) is owned by Antonio.
