rd-judicial-api

Judicial reference data service (JRD)

Purpose

Provides Judicial data to Judicial Office, implemented as a Java/SpringBoot application.

Judicial Reference Data stores information such as Judicial Office Holder profiles, their authorisation, appointments and roles. JRD also consists of a set of REST endpoints that are used to get and search a specific set of user profiles which can be used by other reform components to assign a case to a judge.

For more information about JRD, Please see the Confluence https://tools.hmcts.net/confluence/display/RTRD/Reference+Data+Overview#ReferenceDataOverview-JudicialReferenceData(JRD)JudicialReferenceData(JRD)

Prerequisites

To run the project you will need to have the following installed:

Java 17
Docker

For information about the software versions used to build this API and a complete list of it's dependencies see build.gradle

While not essential, it is highly recommended to use the pre-push git hook included in this repository to ensure that all tests are passing. This can be done by running the following command: $ git config core.hooksPath .githooks

Environment Vars

If running locally for development or testing you will need to set the following environment variables

export POSTGRES_USERNAME=dbrefdata
export POSTGRES_PASSWORD=
export client-secret=
export totp_secret=
export password=
export key=

Running the application

Please Make sure you are connected to the VPN before running application (https://portal.platform.hmcts.net/vdesk/webtop.eui?webtop=/Common/webtop_full&webtop_type=webtop_full)

To run the API quickly use the docker helper script as follows:

./bin/run-in-docker.sh install

docker-compose up

After, you can start the application from the current source files using Gradle as follows:

./gradlew clean bootRun

If required, to run with a low memory consumption, the following can be used:

./gradlew --no-daemon assemble && java -Xmx384m -jar build/libs/rd-judicial-api.jar

Using the application

To understand if the application is working, you can call it's health endpoint:

curl http://localhost:8093/health

If the API is running, you should see this response:

{"status":"UP"}

If the Application is running, you can see API's in swagger :

http://localhost:8093/swagger-ui.html

DB Initialisation˙

The application uses a Postgres database which can be run through a docker container on its own if required.

this

The application should automatically apply any database migrations using flyway.

Running integration tests:

You can run the integration tests as follows:

./gradlew integration

Running functional tests:

If the API is running (either inside a Docker container or via gradle bootRun) you can run the functional tests as follows:

./gradlew functional

If you want to run a specific scenario use this command:

./gradlew functional --tests <TestClassName> --info -Dscenario=<Scenario>

Running smoke tests:

If the API is running (either inside a Docker container or via gradle bootRun) you can run the smoke tests as follows:

./gradlew smoke

Running mutation tests tests:

If you have some time to spare, you can run the mutation tests as follows:

./gradlew pitest

As the project grows, these tests will take longer and longer to execute but are useful indicators of the quality of the test suite.

More information about mutation testing can be found here: http://pitest.org/

Testing in Postman

To test in Postman the easiest way is to start this service using the ./bin/run-in-docker.sh script. The in postman paste the following script:

pm.sendRequest('http://127.0.0.1:8093/token', function (err, res) {
    if (err) {
        console.log(err);
    } else {
        pm.environment.set("token", res.text());
    }
});

into the pre-script window. Also add a header as follows:

ServiceAuthorization: Bearer {{token}}

Authorization : Bearer copy IDAM access token

Contract testing with pact

To publish against remote broker: ./gradlew pactPublish

Turn on VPN and verify on url https://pact-broker.platform.hmcts.net/ The pact contract(s) should be published

To publish against local broker: Uncomment out the line found in the build.gradle: pactBrokerUrl = 'http://localhost:9292' comment out the real broker

Start the docker container from the root dir run docker-compose -f broker-compose.yml up

Publish via the gradle command ./gradlew pactPublish

Once Verify on url http://localhost:9292/ The pact contract(s) should be published

Remember to return the localhost back to the remote broker
