Was just in one of those meetings where it felt like writing this would take less time than I’d already spent talking about its relative priority… --- In the admin app you can already set the broadcast channel as 'test', 'severe' or 'government'. Aim: - Add the 'operator' channel to the list of channels you can pick for the admin app broadcast services Note: - The API already supports this - https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-api/pull/3262 - The CBC proxy does not yet support the operator channel and this will need a separate card. That card has not yet been written because the interface has not been agreed between us and the MNOs yet. - Will need to have the ability to select the operator channel for just a single MNO like we do for the other channels - If we add this, we shouldn't actually start using it until the MNO in question gives us the go ahead. --- https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/178485177

Setting up
Python version
At the moment we run Python 3.6 in production.
NPM packages
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 long term support (LTS) version of Node.
npm install -g n
n lts
environment.sh
In the root directory of the application, run:
echo "
export NOTIFY_ENVIRONMENT='development'
export FLASK_APP=application.py
export FLASK_ENV=development
export WERKZEUG_DEBUG_PIN=off
"> environment.sh
AWS credentials
To run parts of the app, such as uploading letters, you will need appropriate AWS credentials. See the Wiki for more details.
To run the application
# install dependencies, etc.
make bootstrap
# run the web app
make run-flask
Then visit localhost:6012.
Any Python code changes you make should be picked up automatically in development. If you're developing JavaScript code, run npm run watch to achieve the same.
To test the application
# install dependencies, etc.
make bootstrap
# run all the tests
make test
# continuously run js tests
npm run test-watch
To run a specific JavaScript test, you'll need to copy the full command from package.json.
To update application dependencies
requirements.txt is generated from the requirements.in in order to pin versions of all nested dependencies. If requirements.in has been changed, run make freeze-requirements to regenerate it.
