Requirements:

• Java 8+
• Grails 2.4.3
• PostgreSQL 8+ (required for testing, other runtime databases are supported)

To run jBilling from source you will need to have Java 8+ and Grails 2.4.3 installed. To install grails, download version 2.4.3 from the Grails Archive and follow the installation instructions for your operating system.

Java and PostgreSQL can be downloaded an installed by visiting the vendor's websites, or in linux environments by using the package manager (apt-get or yum).

Install Git.

Clone the repository from [email protected]:WebDataConsulting/billing.git

git clone [email protected]:WebDataConsulting/billing.git jB-CE-4.1.1

To run jBilling with the out-of-box reference database, you must have PostgreSQL installed and configured with a 'jbilling' user and an empty 'jbilling_test' database. The setup scripts also expect that the user will allow local connections without a password.

Edit the PostgreSQL pg_hba.conf file and change the "local" and "IPv4" localhost connection types:

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all         all                               trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          trust

Explanation: Set up PostgreSQL to allow all local connections to the database without using a password

Restart the PostgreSQL server

sudo service postgresql restart

Connect to PostgreSQL and create the test user and database.

sudo -u postgres psql

Connect to PostgreSQL and create the test user and database.

CREATE ROLE jbilling WITH LOGIN SUPERUSER CREATEDB CREATEROLE PASSWORD 'jbilling';
CREATE DATABASE jbilling_test WITH OWNER jbilling;

JAVA_HOME -> /opt/lib/jdk1.8.0_60 or an equivalent.

GRAILS_HOME -> /opt/lib/grails-2.4.3 or equivalent.

Java and grails executables should be in your classpath.

Copy the jbilling properties file from the src directory to the root of the project

cp ./src/java/jbilling.properties .

Run the grails compile target to compile the jBilling source code, then run the prepare-test target to load the reference database and prepare all the required resources.

grails compile
grails prepare-test

The grails compile target may halt with a compiler error on some environments, running compile a second time usually resolves the issue.

**Windows**: ``run-app.bat``

**Linux/Mac**: ``./run-app.sh``

grails compile
grails prepare-test --init

If you want to use a database that is not the standard one:

grails prepare-test -init -user= -db= -pass= -url= -driver=
