Manage offences

This is the user interface service for managing offences

Running the app

The easiest way to run the app is to use docker compose to create the service and all dependencies.

docker compose pull

docker compose up

Dependencies

The app requires:

• hmpps-auth - for authentication
• redis - session store and token caching

Running the app for development

Ensure that you have env varNODE_OPTIONS set to -r dotenv/config, else the .env file will not be read

Create a .env file in the root of the project with the following content - Note - you will need to get the secret values from DEV:

HMPPS_AUTH_URL="https://sign-in-dev.hmpps.service.justice.gov.uk/auth"
TOKEN_VERIFICATION_API_URL="https://token-verification-api-dev.prison.service.justice.gov.uk"
MANAGE_OFFENCES_API_URL="https://manage-offences-api-dev.hmpps.service.justice.gov.uk"
PRISON_API_URL="https://api-dev.prison.service.justice.gov.uk"
API_CLIENT_SECRET=FILL THIS IN WITH SECRET FROM DEV!!
SYSTEM_CLIENT_SECRET=FILL THIS IN WITH SECRET FROM DEV!!

Install dependencies using npm install, ensuring you are using >= Node v20.x

Note: Using nvm (or fnm), run nvm install --latest-npm within the repository folder to use the correct version of node, and the latest version of npm. This matches the engines config in package.json and the CircleCI build config.

And then, to build the assets and start the app with nodemon:

npm run start:dev

Run linter

npm run lint

Run tests

npm run test

Running integration tests

For local running, start a test db and wiremock instance by:

docker compose -f docker-compose-test.yml up

Then run the server in test mode by:

npm run start-feature (or npm run start-feature:dev to run with nodemon)

And then either, run tests in headless mode with:

npm run int-test

Or run tests with the cypress UI:

npm run int-test-ui

Generating open-api types

1. Run cd scripts
2. Run ./generate-manage-offences-api-types.sh and open the generated file index.d.ts
3. Resolve any lint errors, and remove the last line export interface external {}

Usage of the application

Access and roles

Only users that are authenticated via HMPPS Auth can access this service. All authenticated users can access all behaviour except that defined by the below roles:

1. MANAGE_OFFENCES_ADMIN - This role allows users access to the admin screens; i.e. the 'load monitor' screen and the 'toggle jobs' screen.
2. UPDATE_OFFENCE_SCHEDULES - This role allows users to link and unlink offences from schedules

Initial load or full refresh

A technical admin user should do the initial load (or full refresh) into an environment. Such a user would require the MANAGE_OFFENCES_ADMIN. Procedure for full load.

1. Enable the 'Full Sync SDRS' (disable all the other jobs). This job runs on a cron schedule every hour. Check the API logs to ensure its completion
2. Disable the 'Full Sync SDRS' after it has completed.
3. Enable the 'Full Sync NOMIS' (disable all the other jobs). This job runs on a cron schedule every hour. Check the API logs to ensure its completion
4. Disable the 'Full Sync NOMIS' after it has completed.
5. Enable the 'Delta Sync SDRS' and 'Delta Sync NOMIS' jobs (disable the other jobs). These jobs run on a cron schedule every twenty minutes and pull any changes from SDRS and push the changes to NOMIS.

Support we have received

We have received support from a number of teams across government to make this possible.
