Technical documentation

This is a Ruby on Rails app, and should follow our Rails app conventions.

You can use the GOV.UK Docker environment to run the application and its tests with all the necessary dependencies. Follow the usage instructions to get started.

Use GOV.UK Docker to run any commands that follow.

Running the test suite

bundle exec rake

External links

Run bundle exec rake publish_external_links:publishing_api to send all external links to the publishing API.

Document rake tasks

These rake tasks connect to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) to interact with documents stored in the Discovery Engine datastore.

Authentication is required:
