Introduction

This is a local development/manual testing utility that lets you reset backend/data/app.db and load realistic operational data without depending on E2E-created synthetic records.

This is a link to a description of how to reset the local database, now deprecated by this page's content.

Brief description

Uses:

Makefile
scripts/seed-manual-testdata.py

Make targets:

make manual-testdata-local-reset
make manual-testdata-local-seed
make manual-testdata-local-reset-no-work-periods

Recommended normal use:

make manual-testdata-local-reset
python3 scripts/verify-manual-testdata.py

This script will:

1. Deletes backend/data/app.db
2. Runs all migrations
3. Seeds the manual-test dataset

To seed an already-migrated local DB without deleting it:

make manual-testdata-local-seed

To reset and seed people/collaborators/reference/transactions but skip work periods:

make manual-testdata-local-reset-no-work-periods

The script uses stable manual-* IDs and deletes/replaces only previous manual seed rows, so it is safe to rerun for local development. It does not delete E2E ers-testdata-* rows unless you reset the database first.

Database Content

Reference data

  Cantina/Canteen price-list items
