This repeats the pattern we already have for previewing a letter,
where we assume the error is because the notification has already
been sent and redirect the user to see it.
I've improved the original pattern a bit:
- I've DRYed-up the low-level boto code and moved the error handler
there so it can be reused.
- I've introduced a custom exception, which the calling code can
choose to log.
- I've introduced the moto library, which we use elsewhere, to make
it easier to test S3 code.
I've used an error level log when sending a notification - now that
we have a more descriptive log, we can verify the assumption is true
and then make an informed decision to downgrade the log.
In future we may want to merge this handler with the similar code
in utils [1], but we'll need to be careful as the utils handler is
superficial - it doesn't check the reason for the error.

Setting up
Python version
At the moment we run Python 3.9 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.
