Most of the existing platform admin buttons on the service settings page used to issue GET requests to switch service settings. This means they weren't protected by CSRF. On top of that as our number of service permissions increases over time a lot of buttons on the page made it hard to work with. To fix these issues we replace most of the buttons with rows in the platform admin settings table. Each setting has a 'Change' link that leads to a page with an On/Off switch form. This removes "research mode" switch completely since we're planning to deprecate it in the future and we don't expect to switch any new services into research mode at the moment. Most service permissions are now handled by a shared endpoint that is parameterized with the permission name. Some permissions that require some additional logic before they can be toggled (like document upload, which requires setting a contact address) have separate initial endpoints that redirect to `set_service_permission`. "Archive", "Suspend" and "Resume" actions are kept as buttons since they display a confirmation banner (which is a CSRF-protected form) and they're not easily represented as an On/Off switch.

First-time setup
Brew is a package manager for OSX. The following command installs brew:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Languages needed
brew install node
NPM is Node's package management tool. n is a tool for managing
different versions of Node. The following installs n and uses the latest
version of Node.
npm install -g n
n latest
npm rebuild node-sass
The app runs within a virtual environment. We use mkvirtualenv for easier working with venvs
pip install virtualenvwrapper
mkvirtualenv -p /usr/local/bin/python3 notifications-admin
Install dependencies and build the frontend assets:
workon notifications-admin
./scripts/bootstrap.sh
Rebuilding the frontend assets
If you want the front end assets to re-compile on changes, leave this running in a separate terminal from the app
npm run watch
Create a local environment.sh file containing the following:
echo "
export NOTIFY_ENVIRONMENT='development'
export FLASK_APP=application.py
export FLASK_DEBUG=1
export WERKZEUG_DEBUG_PIN=off
"> environment.sh
AWS credentials
Your aws credentials should be stored in a folder located at ~/.aws. Follow Amazon's instructions for storing them correctly
Running the application
workon notifications-admin
./scripts/run_app.sh
Then visit localhost:6012
Updating application dependencies
requirements.txt file is generated from the requirements-app.txt in order to pin
versions of all nested dependencies. If requirements-app.txt has been changed (or
we want to update the unpinned nested dependencies) requirements.txt should be
regenerated with
make freeze-requirements
requirements.txt should be committed alongside requirements-app.txt changes.
Working with static assets
When running locally static assets are served by Flask at http://localhost:6012/static/…
When running on preview, staging and production there’s a bit more to it:
