Technical documentation

This is a Ruby on Rails application.

postgresql - provides a backing database
redis - used as a storage layer for asynchronous job processing
yarn - package manager for JavaScripts
imagemagick - image manipulation library

Running the application

The first time you run this application for development, enable debug and pre_release_features permissions:

bundle exec rake development_permissions

To enable them for your GOV.UK account add them to your account in Signon.

Running the test suite

yarn install

# ruby tests
bundle exec rspec

# JS tests (in console, or in browser)
bundle exec rake jasmine:ci
bundle exec rake jasmine

Our test environment is setup to render ‘real’ error pages, instead of raising an exception. This can make it hard to debug a test failure, as the actual error won’t appear in the test output. Instead, you can see it in log/test.log.
