If you are using WSL as a Linux subsystem of Windows, you will need to ensure your VSCode workspace is connected to your WSL instance. To do this, begin by clicking the two arrows in the bottom left corner. This will open a tab near the top of the window that will prompt you to select an option; select New WSL Window and open the folder in which your project is located.
If you are struggling with your python configuration with VSCode ("unable to find import" errors, ex), you will need to select your Python interpreter
To begin, ensure you are using VSCode in a WSL instance.
Next, ensure you are on a virtual environment. In the terminal, run which python3. This will show you the location of your Python3 interpreter. Press CTRL+Shift+P to open the VSCode preferences search and type interpreter, selecting the option that says Python: Select Interpreter. Click enter interpreter path, and find the file that was shown with the which python3 command. Once you select this, your Python interpreter should correctly recognize imports.
For Python, we will be using Pylint as our interpreter. This will help us with code consitency across our project. To select your interpreter, ensure you are on a WLS instance (if you are using WSL) and type CTRL+Shift+P to open the VSCode preferences search. Type linter and select the option that says Python: Select Linter. Select pylint at the bottom. You may get a warning that you have not installed pylint; if so, click "install".
Make sure you have docker and docker-compose installed
-
On desktop systems like Docker Desktop for Mac and Windows, Docker Compose is included as part of those desktop installs.
If you are using windows run:
dos2unix api-db/entrypoint.sh
this will make entrypoint.sh executable
docker-compose up --build
open up another terminal from root and run:
./seed.sh
** Note: You might have to chmod +x seed.sh
