ALeRT

The webapp version of ALeRT.

Running the application

There are two ways to serve the application: using the Flask development server locally or use the container image.

Note: gunicorn is not compatible with Microsoft Windows, to test application on Windows either use the Flask dev server, or run the container.

Flask Development Server

  1. Create virtual environment, activate it and install dependencies from requirements.txt

  2. Install the project with pip install -e .

  3. From the root folder, run flask --app alert.app run --debug

  4. Server is accessible at http://127.0.0.1:5000/

The --debug flag enables live reloading so if you modify then save a file the server will restart automatically.

Container

  1. Install Docker and ensure it is running

  2. Create a copy of .env.example rename it .env. Remove Azure variables and Key Vault name if not needed.

  3. To build and start the container, docker-compose up --build

  4. Server is accessible at http://127.0.0.1:8000/

There is no live reloading so you must rebuild the image to see your changes.

Testing

Pytest is used to run the tests. Run pytest at the root directory to execute the tests.

Test code coverage is available with coverage run -m pytest and then coverage report to view the report.

100% coverage in handlers is the goal.

Contributing

There are pipelines set up for CI. All changes must be brought in main through a pull request. When a PR is created, a code quality check pipeline is executed. This will check that black would not change the format, and that pytest reports no errors. Then the code can be merged into main. On a merge, a release pipeline is executed, this will build and push a Docker image to a container registry for deployment.

In short, before committing make sure black and pytest report no errors.

Configuration

Loading from Azure Key Vault

To load from an Azure Key Vault (AKV) set $KEY_VAULT_NAME to the name of the vault and it will be automatically loaded.
