This upgrades itsdangerous by a major version. When testing most routes we: * use the `client_request` fixture * under the hood this logs in the user with `TestClient.login` * logging in the user signs their session with a secret and the current time For some tests we also: * wrap the test method with a `freeze_time()` decorator to simulate a past date and time When Pytest calls the wrapped test method: * any application code which tries to get the current time will get the frozen time * any application code getting the current user means decoding the session * the code which decodes the session will see that the session was created in the future, in other words it has a negative age * as of ItsDangerous 2.0.0 signatures with a negative age raise an exception To avoid all the tests which freeze time failing, this adds itsdangerous to the list of packages that freezegun ignores. We can't yet upgrade to a version of itsdangerous that is >= 2.1.0 because there are compatibility issues with Flask 1.x.

Setting up
Python version
At the moment we run Python 3.9 in production.
NodeJS & NPM
If you don't have NodeJS on your system, install it with homebrew.
brew install node
nvm is a tool for managing different versions of NodeJS. Follow the guidance on nvm's github repository to install it.
Once installed, run the following to switch to the version of NodeJS for this project. If you don't have that version, it should tell you how to install it.
nvm use
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.
