Energy Performance Certificate Data

Frontend for the Energy Performance Certificate Data

Getting Started

Make sure you have the following installed:

• Ruby
  • Bundler to install dependencies found in Gemfile
• Git (optional)

Install

This short guide will use Git.

1. Clone the repository: $ git clone [email protected]:communitiesuk/epb-data-frontend.git
2. Change into the cloned repository: $ cd epb-data-frontend
3. Install the Ruby gems:
   • $ rvm use
   • $ bundle install
4. Install node packages:
   • $ nvm use
   • $ npm install
5. Build the frontend assets: $ make frontend-build

Test

Prerequisites

To run the Capybara user-journey tests, the following must be downloaded and installed.

• Chrome
• ChromeDriver
  • download the same ChromeDriver version as your version of Chrome.

Depending on how ChromeDriver was installed, it may need to be added to the PATH environment variable. Instructions below are for MacOS users.

1. Create local bin directory: $ mkdir ~/bin
2. Move the downloaded ChromeDriver to the bin directory: $ mv ~/Downloads/chromedriver ~/bin
3. Make the ChromeDriver executable: cd ~/bin && chmod +x chromedriver
4. Add the bin directory to the PATH environment variable in your shell profile:

# ~/.bash_profile, ~/.zprofile, etc

...
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/bin" # Add this line at the end of the file

Run $ source ~/.bash_profile, or .zprofile. Alternatively, restart the terminal.

5. You must add additional local hosts to your hosts file on your machine with:

127.0.0.1	get-energy-performance-data.epb-frontend
127.0.0.1	get-energy-performance-data.local.gov.uk

You can add these to your hosts file automatically by running $ sudo make hosts. You can check what hosts you already have by typing $ cat /etc/hosts in the frontend directory.

Don't forget to ensure bundles are up to date

Test suites

To run the respective test suites:

• All tests: $ make test

Usage

Running the frontend

The test stubs server

1. To run the test stubs server (i.e. the frontend in isolation from the local API), change directory into the root of the cloned folder: $ cd epb-data-frontend
2. Start the web server(s) using the following command: $ make run ARGS=config_test.ru
3. Open http://get-energy-performance-data.epb-frontend:9292 in your favourite browser to run the test stubs server.

The integrated server

1. To run the local frontend alongside your local API in Docker, make sure that the Docker images from the epb-dev-tools repo are running
2. Then access the frontend at http://get-energy-performance-data.epb-frontend (without the specified ports).

Running with One Login Simulator

The site uses GOV.UK One Login to manage user access To test this on your local host you will need to run One Login Simulator, this will mimic the authorization process and allow user to continue

1. The run the One Login Simulator $ make one-login
2. To see the configuration of the One Login Simulator $ curl localhost:3333/config

This means the simulator is set to authorize request from made http://127.0.0.1/9292 and send callback response to same server
