||
## What is it?
|
||
|
||
|
||
EnglishPal allows the user to build his list of new English words
|
||
picked from articles selected for him to read according his vocabulary level. EnglishPal will determine a user's vocabulary level based on his picked words. After that, it will recommend articles for him to read, in order to booster his English vocabulary furthermore.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Run on your own laptop
|
||
|
||
`python3 main.py`
|
||
|
||
Make sure you have put the SQLite database file in the path `app/static` (see below).
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Run it as a Docker container
|
||
|
||
|
||
Assuming that docker has been installed and that you are a sudo user (i.e., sudoer), start the program by typing the following command in directory `EnglishPal`:
|
||
|
||
`sudo ./build.sh`
|
||
|
||
Open your favourite Internet browser and enter this URL address: `http://ip-address:90`. Note: you must update the variable `DEPLOYMENT_DIR` in `build.sh`.
|
||
|
||
### Explanation on the commands in build.sh
|
||
|
||
My steps for deploying English on a Ubuntu server.
|
||
|
||
- ssh to ubuntu@118.*.*.118
|
||
|
||
- cd to `/home/lanhui/englishpal2/EnglishPal`
|
||
|
||
- Stop all docker service: `sudo service docker restart`. If you know the docker container ID, then the above command is an overkill. Use the following command instead: `sudo docker stop ContainerID`. You could get all container IDs with the following command: `sudo docker ps`
|
||
|
||
- Rebuild container. Run the following command to rebuild a docker image each time after the source code gets updated: `sudo docker build -t englishpal .`
|
||
|
||
- Run the application: `sudo docker run -d -p 90:80 -v /home/lanhui/englishpal2/EnglishPal/app/static/frequency:/app/static/frequency -t englishpal`. If you use `sudo docker run -d -p 90:80 -t englishpal`, data will be lost after terminating the program. If you want to automatically restart the docker image after each system reboot, add the option `--restart=always` after `docker run`.
|
||
|
||
- Save disk space: `sudo docker system prune -a -f`
|
||
|
||
`build.sh` contains all the above commands. Run "sudo ./build.sh" to rebuild and start the web application.
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### Other useful docker commands
|
||
|
||
- `sudo docker ps -a`
|
||
|
||
- `sudo docker logs image_name`, where `image_name` could be obtained from `sudo docker ps`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Importing articles
|
||
|
||
|
||
All articles are stored in the `article` table in a SQLite file called
|
||
`app/db/wordfreqapp.db`.
|
||
|
||
### Adding new articles
|
||
|
||
To add articles, open and edit `app/db/wordfreqapp.db` using DB Browser for SQLite (https://sqlitebrowser.org).
|
||
|
||
### Extending an account's expiry date
|
||
|
||
By default, an account's expiry is 30 days after first sign-up. To extend account's expiry date, open and edit `user` table in `app/db/wordfreqapp.db`. Simply update field `expiry_date`.
|
||
|
||
### Exporting the database
|
||
|
||
Export wordfreqapp.db to wordfreqapp.sql using the following commands:
|
||
|
||
- sqlite3 wordfreqapp.db
|
||
|
||
- .output wordfreqapp.sql
|
||
|
||
- .dump
|
||
|
||
- .exit
|
||
|
||
Put wordfreqapp.sql (not wordfreqapp.db) under version control.
|
||
|
||
### Creating SQLite file from wordfreqapp.sql
|
||
|
||
|
||
Create wordfreqapp.db using this command: `cat wordfreqapp.sql |
|
||
sqlite3 wordfreqapp.db`. Delete wordfreqapp.db first if it exists.
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Uploading wordfreqapp.db to the server
|
||
|
||
|
||
`pscp wordfreqapp.db lanhui@118.*.*.118:/home/lanhui/englishpal2/EnglishPal/app/db/`

## Bug tracking
|
||
|
||
|
||
EnglishPal's bugs and improvement suggestions are recorded in [Bugzilla](http://118.25.96.118/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__all__&list_id=1302&order=Importance&product=EnglishPal&query_format=specific). Send (lanhui at zjnu.edu.cn) an email message for opening a Bugzilla account or reporting a bug.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## End-to-end testing
|
||
|
||
We use the Selenium test framework to test our app.
|
||
|
||
In order to run the test, first we need to download a webdriver executable.
|
||
|
||
Microsoft Edge's webdriver can be downloaded from [microsoft-edge-tools-webdriver](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/). Make sure the version we download matches the version of the web browser installed on our laptop.
|
||
|
||
After extracting the downloaded zip file (e.g., edgedriver_win64.zip), rename msedgedriver.exe to MicrosoftWebDriver.exe.
|
||
|
||
Add MicrosoftWebDriver.exe's path to system's PATH variable.
|
||
|
||
Install the following dependencies too:
|
||
|
||
- pip install -U selenium==3.141.0
|
||
- pip install -U urllib3==1.26.2
|
||
|
||
Run the test using pytest as follows: pytest --html=pytest_report.html test_add_word.py
|
||
|
||
The above command will generate a HTML report file pytest_report.html after finishing executing test_add_word.py. Note: you need to install pytest-html package first: pip install pytest-html.
|
||
|
||
## TODO
|
||
|
||
|
||
- Fix Bug: Internal server error when register using an email address.
|
||
|
||
- Usability testing

### 朱文绮
|
||
|
||
|
||
在生词簿每个单词后面，加上两个按钮，熟悉与不熟悉:
|
||
|
||
- 如果点熟悉，就将生词簿中该单词后面记录的添加次数减一，直至减为0，就将该单词从生词簿中移除。
|
||
|
||
- 如果点不熟悉，就将生词簿中该单词后面记录的添加次数加一。

### 李康恬
|
||
|
||
|
||
Add the function of "Delete already known and well-known words from
|
||
the words' library", on the one hand, it can conform to the usage
|
||
habits of some users, who do not like that their words' libraries have
|
||
too many words that they already know, on the other hand, it can
|
||
reduce unnecessary memory occupied by the database, in addition, it
|
||
can also improve the simplicity of the page.

||

Click the Familiar or Unfamiliar button (current word frequency>1), the current word position is displayed at the top of the page;
|
||
|
||
Click the Familiar or Unfamiliar button (current word frequency is 1), and the page will be displayed as the top of the entire page.
