Building and deploying the application

Building the application

The project uses Gradle as a build tool. It already contains ./gradlew wrapper script, so there's no need to install gradle.

To build the project execute the following command:

  ./gradlew build

Local development environment (using CFT lib):

Details of CFT lib here: https://github.com/hmcts/rse-cft-lib/blob/main/README.md

You can run your local development environment (LDE) in two ways:

AAT support services: You will be utilising AAT instances of support services.
Local support services. You will be running a local dockerised instance of each of the support services.

Getting started:

- Option 1: AAT support services

Steps:

If this is your first run, stop (or clean out) existing Docker containers.

$ unset USE_LOCAL_SUPPORT_SERVICES
Ensure your VPN is on.
Run (you will probably not need to do this every time):

az login
az acr login --name hmctspublic --subscription DCD-CNP-Prod
az acr login --name hmctsprivate --subscription DCD-CNP-Prod

Run $ ./gradlew bootWithCcd
Wait until tasks have stopped running in the terminal.

Using the setup:

Go to localhost:3000 for manage-cases and localhost:3001 for manage-org. Use the same login details you would use for AAT XUI services to login.

Notes:

Upon running bootWithCcd, an env file (.aat-env) will be created/overwritten which contains all the AAT endpoints and secrets to call those endpoints. This file should never been push to the remote repository.
Running end-to-end (e2e) tests using this setup is WIP so continue to use the 'With Docker' setup if you want to run e2e tests locally. See DTSPB-3332.

- Option 2: Local support services

Start by executing the following in your terminal: $ export USE_LOCAL_SUPPORT_SERVICES=true

Accessing databases

Postgres is started on port 6432 (default) and can be accessed with user postgres password postgres

The default postgres port can be overridden by setting the RSE_LIB_DB_PORT environment variable.

Database names

Service	Database name
CCD definition store	definitionstore
CCD data store	datastore
CCD user profile	userprofile
AM role assignment service	am

Ports

Services run on the following default ports:

Service	Port
CCD definition store	4451
CCD data store	4452
CCD user profile	4453
CCD case document Access Management	4455
AM role assignment service	4096
AAC assign access to a case	4454
XUI Manage cases	4454
XUI Manage org	4454
IDAM Simulator*	5000
S2S Simulator*	8489

When running AuthMode.Local

Clean boot

For a clean boot define the RSE_LIB_CLEAN_BOOT environment variable, which will force recreate all docker containers upon boot.

Live reload

Spring boot's devtools can be used to fast-reload your application whilst leaving other CFT services running, significantly improving the edit-compile-test cycle.

dependencies {
  cftlibImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools'
}

./gradlew bootJar
# run gradle with bootWithCCD to bring up the IDAM and CCD including cftlib Docker with elastic and database
./gradle bootWithCCD 
# run in debugger with 
./gradlew bootWithCCD --debug-jvm
or just click debug in intellij on probate-back-office [bootWithCCD] run/debug configuration


NOTE that the bootWithCCD brings up a prcess that just sits there, to exit either Ctrl-C 
     or press stop on the run tab in intellij.

NOTE I have sometimes had issues trying to get debugger up, my solution is to stop and terminate and try again.
If there is a problem with debugging message about "JDWP Transport dt_socket failed to initialize"
Debugger might be stuck running, need to go to cmd line to kill task if it's been left hanging:
lsof -i tcp:5005
This will show the PID then can kill that PID using 
kill -9 PID_JUST_FOUND

Also needs back office docker to bring up all services:
./bin/dev-cft-setup.sh
./bin/dev-cft-start.sh

Login to XUI at localhost:3000 with testCW@user.com or testAdmin@user.com leave password empty
## END: NEW

On a running local cftlib setup

Regenerate all xls after changing .json

./gradlew forceBuildAllXlsx

Import all xls

./gradlew importAllXlsx

Running FTs on local setup

Reload envVars for aat to local to be sure you have the latest ones with

./gradlew reloadLocalEnvVars

This line from build.gradle should be commented out before you bootWithCCD

cftlibImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools'

Then do

./gradlew bootWithCCD

then run FTs as any other normal test

Regenerate and import all xls

The following can be executed when the BO server is running:

./gradlew buildAndImportAllXlsx

then sign out / sign in

Original docker environment:

Docker environment

Because the probate back office relies on CCD callbacks it must be run inside the docker-compose environment, and must be built before bringing the environment up. You will need to recompile after any code changes.

Build the jar with:

./gradlew assemble
docker-compose build

Bring up the environment:

before you start ensure that any env vars setup on whatever terminal you are --creat-ing from

XUI_LD_ID
LD_SDK_BO_KEY
LD_BO_USER_KEY
LD_SDK_FE_KEY
LD_FE_USER_KEY

first time only

npx @hmcts/probate-dev-env --create

spin up the docker containers

npx @hmcts/probate-dev-env

to stop

npx @hmcts/probate-dev-env --stop

to restart after stop

npx @hmcts/probate-dev-env --start

Then wait upto 5 mins for the images to spin up - check the SIDAM and CCD and probate-backoffice ones have started fully

To enable sharing a case run this after startup of everything

./bin/wiremock.sh

To clear out all wiremock requests

curl -X 'DELETE' 'http://localhost:8991/__admin/mappings' -H 'accept: */*'

Then check there are none

curl -X 'GET' 'http://localhost:8991/__admin/mappings?limit=100&offset=0' -H 'accept: application/json'

re run the ./bin/wiremock above to apply as needed

to use local probate backoffice

docker-compose stop probate-back-office
./gradlew assemble
docker-compose up -d --build probate-back-office

##This is now the default setup

share case - manage-case setup

before --create make sure you have this env var setup
LD_SDK_AM_KEY (see Sanjay for the value)
npx @hmcts/probate-dev-env --create
npx @hmcts/probate-dev-env

upload new xls from local
./ccdImports/conversionScripts/createAllXLS.sh probate-back-office:4104
./ccdImports/conversionScripts/importAllXLS.sh

redeploy probate-backoffice image
docker-compose stop probate-back-office && ./gradlew assemble && docker-compose up -d --build probate-back-office

make sure probate-backoffice and manage-case-assignment docker images are running
make sure wiremock is running and populated
http://localhost:3455/
login as one of the test PP users, create a case 
* probatesolicitortestorgtest1@gmail.com Probate123
* probatesolicitortestorg2test1@gmail.com Probate123
you should be able to share that case with the other PP user

if you are running low on memory you can stop probate-frontend, business-service, submit-service, orchestrtor etc

share case - manage-org additional setup

complete above
uncomment docker image from the local docker-compose.yml: xui-manage-org
docker-compose up -d xui-manage-org
create a case to share
unshare that case from everyone
go to
http://localhost:3001/
login with org user
* probatesolicitortestorgman3@gmail.com Probate123
click Unassigned cases link
see unassigned cases + assign as needed

when you want to return to manage-case
run ./bin/wiremock.sh
create cases + share per org from here

wiremock url

http://localhost:8991/__admin/mappings?limit=10

to clear out all images

npx @hmcts/probate-dev-env --destroy
docker container rm $(docker container ls -a -q)
docker image rm $(docker image ls -a -q)
docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q)

If you would like to test a new CCD config locally, you should run:

./ccdImports/conversionScripts/createAllXLS.sh probate-back-office:4104
./ccdImports/conversionScripts/importAllXLS.sh

Full setup

Guidance on how to set up probate locally using the updated docker images.

1) Install https://stedolan.github.io/jq/

  sudo apt-get install jq

For mac

  brew install jq

NB. If you download the binary version it is called 'jq-osx-amd64' and the scripts later will fail because they are looking for 'jq'.

2) Login to azure

  az login
  az acr login --name hmctspublic --subscription DCD-CNP-Prod
  az acr login --name hmctsprivate --subscription DCD-CNP-Prod

3) Reset your docker images, containers etc.

   docker container rm $(docker container ls -a -q)
   docker image rm $(docker image ls -a -q)
   docker volume rm $(docker volume ls -q)

NB. Docker for desktop on a mac only allocates 2GB of memory by default, this is not enough I increased mine 16GB.

4) Run environments script

   ./ccd login

For linux/Mac

   source ./bin/linux-set-environment-variables.sh

4.1) setup logstash

In order to work locally on probate-frontend you will need to clone project ccd-logstash from github. Checkout the probate-conf branch and build the docker image

   git checkout probate-conf
   docker build . -t ccd-logstash:probate

In probate-back-office/compose/elasticsearch.yml replace image: hmcts/ccd-logstash:latest with image: "ccd-logstash:probate"

5) Start up docker

   docker network create compose_default
   ./ccd compose pull
   ./ccd compose build
   ./ccd compose up

6) Create blob store container

Once docker has started run

   ./bin/document-management-store-create-blob-store-container.sh

7) Restart dm-store container

Find id of dm-store container

   docker ps | grep dm-store_1

Use id to stop container

   docker stop compose_dm-store_1_id

Start the dm-store container

   ./ccd compose up -d dm-store

7.1) Restart other containers

On linux you may have to restart any failing containers. These often fail to start:

dm-store
fees-api
payments-api
sidam-api

Restart in that order

8) Setup IDAM data.

   ./bin/idam-client-setup.sh

To check the IDAM data, you can log into IDAM-web http://localhost:8082/login with idamOwner@hmcts.net/Ref0rmIsFun.

9) Generate roles, json->xls and import

Create roles and users

   ./bin/ccd-add-all-roles.sh

You can check the user and roles on the IDAM-web by searching for ProbateSolCW1@gmail.com on Manager Users page.

Generate xls

For mac

   ./ccdImports/conversionScripts/createAllXLS.sh docker.for.mac.localhost:4104

For Windows 10

   ./ccdImports/conversionScripts/createAllXLS.sh host.docker.internal:4104

For linux (replace ip with your own ip)

   ./ccdImports/conversionScripts/createAllXLS.sh probate-back-office:4104

Import xls

   ./ccdImports/conversionScripts/importAllXLS.sh

10) Start your local service

Pull probate specific ccd-logstash

pull ccd-logstash branch probate-conf locally then

docker build . -t ccd-logstash:probate

Probate-back-office

Login to ccd on http://localhost:3451. Caseworker: ProbateSolCW1@gmail.com / Pa55word11. Solicitor ProbateSolicitor1@gmail.com / Pa55word11.

Start logstash-probateman (for legacy cases)

   sudo /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash -f logstash/legacy-case-data-local.conf

Run probate-back-office app.

loging into to ccd-ui

For a solicitor use ProbateSolicitor1@gmail.com : password
Alternatively, for a caseworker use
ProbateSolCW1@gmail.com : password

local document-store

You can go to a doc in dm by going to localhost:3453/documents/[**ID**]/binary .

Using Payments and fees

Add keywords to fees database

    ./bin/fees-add-keyword.sh

Running Back Office Puppeteer End To End Tests

The tests are located at src/test/end-to-end and must be maintainend and run, as they are run as part of the nightly Jenkins CI build. Configuration is set by default to be able to run in an npx created local environment without amendment.

Config is by environment variables with defaults if not present. The .env file does not contain environment variables, and so default values will be used for local run. These can be found in src/test/config.js, and are used by codecept config file src/test/end-to-end/codecept.conf.js.

The tests are node.js and best run in vs code. A launch vs code configuration has been provided to run the yarn script test:fullfunctional (not to be confused with functional tests).

To see if it's running ok, change config value TestShowBrowserWindow in config.js from false to true and the browser will show, allowing you to see what's going on.

The default test configuration runs all end to end tests, however, often we just want to run the ones that are failing. As a step towards running an individual test, a new env var has been added for local use: process.env.E2E_TEST_PATH (see config.js).

This defaults to './paths/**/*.js', which the Jenkins nightly build will use. However you can set this to a specific .js file path in src/test/paths to narrow down to a failing area.

Complete setup for local FE + e2e development

probate-frontend

set following in default.yml

  useIDAM: 'true'
  requireCcdCaseId: 'true'

you shoud then be able to use a citizen user of

testusername@test.com/Pa55word11

add a dev.yaml file to the /config folder with contents

featureToggles:
  launchDarklyKey: Located in lower env keyvaults with name launchdarkly-key

emails can be monitored at:

http://localhost:8025

run FE using

yarn start:ld

You should also be able to debug on intellij by starting server.js

probate-caveats-frontend

no changes

probate-orchestrator

no changes

probate-business-service

set the following application.yml

  port: 8081

set the following application.yml

document_management:
  url: http://localhost:5006

probate-submit-service

no changes

probate-backoffice

You will need to run with payments and fees docker images if you are expecting to make non-zero payments

Running the application as a docker image

Create the image of the application by executing the following command:

  ./gradlew installDist

Create docker image:

  docker-compose build

Run the distribution (created in build/install/spring-boot-template directory) by executing the following command:

  docker-compose up

This will start the API container exposing the application's port (set to 4550 in this template app).

In order to test if the application is up, you can call its health endpoint:

  curl http://localhost:4550/health

You should get a response similar to this:

  {"status":"UP","diskSpace":{"status":"UP","total":249644974080,"free":137188298752,"threshold":10485760}}

When the containers are restarted, ccd data has to be reloaded The user token expires approx every 4 hours

Mac users

You will need to reconfigure your docker settings to allow at least 6.5Gb

Hystrix

Hystrix is a library that helps you control the interactions between your application and other services by adding latency tolerance and fault tolerance logic. It does this by isolating points of access between the services, stopping cascading failures across them, and providing fallback options. We recommend you to use Hystrix in your application if it calls any services.

Hystrix circuit breaker

This template API has Hystrix Circuit Breaker already enabled. It monitors and manages all the@HystrixCommand or HystrixObservableCommand annotated methods inside @Component or @Service annotated classes.

Hystrix dashboard

When this API is running, you can monitor Hystrix metrics in real time using Hystrix Dashboard. In order to do this, visit http://localhost:4550/hystrix and provide http://localhost:4550/hystrix.stream as the Hystrix event stream URL. Keep in mind that you'll only see data once some of your Hystrix commands have been executed. Otherwise Loading ... message will be displayed on the monitoring page.

Other

Hystrix offers much more than Circuit Breaker pattern implementation or command monitoring. Here are some other functionalities it provides:

Separate, per-dependency thread pools
Semaphores, which you can use to limit the number of concurrent calls to any given dependency
Request caching, allowing different code paths to execute Hystrix Commands without worrying about duplicating work
