A snippet of old code [^1] in "activate_user" was forcing us to
keep "user_details" in the session until the very last moment with
a "try / finally" combo. But "activate_user" already knows the ID
of the user: it's the argument we pass to the function.
None of the functions called by "activate_user" require the session
to have that key either i.e. it's definitely redundant.
It's unclear if we need to pop the key from the session in both
"verify" methods - there are no tests covering this behaviour. For
now, we can at least make the flow clearer by adjusting where we do
the "pop" and the assignment.

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.
