Chris Hill-Scott b54d49196b Ensure correct selected nav item on broadcast page
Once a broadcast has been submitted for approval it either lives on the
‘Current alerts’ or ‘Previous alerts’ page, depending on where it is
in its lifecycle.

Therefore when clicking into a broadcast from one of those pages the
same navigation item should remain selected.

Because we select the navigation items based on the request endpoint,
this means we need an endpoint for each navigation page, even if the
content of the pages will be the same in both cases.

This commit adds the two new end points, removes the old, single
endpoint and updates links to point to the new endpoint.

notifications-admin

GOV.UK Notify admin application - https://www.notifications.service.gov.uk/

Features of this application

  • Register and manage users
  • Create and manage services
  • Send batch emails and SMS by uploading a CSV
  • Show history of notifications

First-time setup

1. Install Homebrew

Install Homebrew, a package manager for OSX:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

2. Make sure you're using correct language versions

Languages needed

  • Python 3.6.x
  • Node 10.15.3 or greater
  • npm 6.4.1 or greater

Need to install node? Run:

brew install node

2.1. pyenv For Python version management

pyenv is a program to manage and swap between different versions of Python. To install:

brew install pyenv

And then follow the further installation instructions in https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv#installation to configure it.

2.2. n For Node version management

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

3. Install NPM dependencies

npm install
npm rebuild node-sass

4. Install and use virtualenvwrapper (optional)

We suggest using a virtualenv to separate the python dependencies for this project from python dependencies for other projects.

Install virtualenvwrapper:

pip install virtualenvwrapper

Then follow the virtualenvwrapper installation instructions docs to configure virtualenvwrapper for your terminal.

Set up your virtualenv:

mkvirtualenv notifications-admin

If you need to specify a certain version of python you can do this using -p, for example:

mkvirtualenv -p ~/.pyenv/versions/3.6.3/bin/python notifications-admin

Activate your virtualenv:

workon notifications-admin

5. Install Python dependencies

Install dependencies and build the frontend assets:

./scripts/bootstrap.sh

Note: You may need versions of both Python 3 and Python 2 accessible to build the python dependencies. pyenv is great for that, and making both Python versions accessible can be done like so:

pyenv global 3.6.3 2.7.15

6. Create a local environment.sh file

In the root directory of the application, run:

echo "
export NOTIFY_ENVIRONMENT='development'
export FLASK_APP=application.py
export FLASK_DEBUG=1
export WERKZEUG_DEBUG_PIN=off
"> environment.sh

7. AWS credentials

Your aws credentials should be stored in a folder located at ~/.aws. Follow Amazon's instructions for storing them correctly

8. Running the application

In the root directory of the application, run:

./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.

Automatically rebuild 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

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 theres a bit more to it:
