This repository contains the alpha-stage data publishing component of data.gov.uk.

Run on your machine with Postgres and Elastic search (v5)

# Make and active a virtualenv for Python 3
git clone <REPO>
cd publish_data_alpha
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd src
export DATABASE_URL="postgres://username:password@localhost/databasename"
export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="publish_data.settings.dev"
export ES_HOSTS='127.0.0.1:9200'
export ES_INDEX='data_discovery'
export FIND_URL='http://find-data.some-serve.com'  # where the dataset pages are

./manage.py migrate
./manage.py loaddata organisations
./manage.py loaddata locations
./manage.py loaddata tasks
./manage.py loaddata stats
./manage.py loaddata datasets
./manage.py loaddata datafiles
./manage.py loaddata inspire
./manage.py runserver

To successfully run the server, you can use a local_settings.py file that is stored in src/publish_data/settings/local_settings.py. The file should have the following contents:

# CKAN specific settings.
ES_HOSTS = "http://127.0.0.1:9200"
ES_INDEX = "dev-index"

In order to put test users to use the service, you can run

./manage.py import_test_users -f users.json

The file should be structured as:

[
    {
      "username": "username",
      "email" : "email_address",
      "password": "password",
      "apikey": "apikey"
    }
]

Create your model and then

cd src
./manage makemigrations <optional_app_name>

cd src
./manage migrate

In the src/ directory are the following apps:

* publish_data - The main app repo containing settings and base templates/resources
* userauth - Handle user authentication with pre-set users (and admin)

This application is built using govuk_elements and govuk_template.

Assets from those packages are already included in this repository. Additionally the SCSS in govuk_elements is precompiled and the resulting CSS is also included in the repository.

The reason assets are copied and pre-compiled here is to simplify deployments. That way, we're avoiding retrieving the govuk_ repositories, compiling the SASS (which would require installing nodejs and npm), concatenating and minifying.

As a consequence, if changes are made to the javascript or SCSS files, the developer will have to recompile locally. This will require installing nodejs and npm, and running the following steps:

> npm install
> gulp styles
> gulp javascripts

If a new version of the govuk packages is needed, you will have to copy and compile them again, and add the resulting files in this repository.

End-to-end tests can be found in the tests directory. They are run using nightwatch. To install nightwatch, use: npm install -g nightwatch.

The variables at the top of the Makefile should be set to suit your local environment.

Then you can just run make test to run the test suite.
