Start Coding
Please have a look at our development guidelines for tips and guides on how to start coding. We have advice on how to get your changes back into the OpenProject core as smooth as possible. Also, take a look at the doc directory in our sources, especially the how to run tests documentation (we like to have automated tests for every new developed feature).
Troubleshooting
The OpenProject logfile can be found in log/development.log.
If an error occurs, it should be logged there (as well as in the output to STDOUT/STDERR of the rails server process).
