Document Generator

This is a document generation and template management service. This allows to generate documents based on a given template name and placeholder data in JSON format and will also store the generated document in the Document Management Store (via Case Document AM).

The service provides a single RESTful endpoint that will generate the document, store it in Evidence Management Store and return the link to the stored data.

Updated with master code base until 2.1

Dynamic file name

You must pass dynamic_fileName key in the placeholders map to get a dynamic file name

Setup

Prerequisites

• JDK 17
• Docker

Building

The project uses Gradle as a build tool but you don't have to install it locally since there is a ./gradlew wrapper script.

To build project please execute the following command:

./gradlew build

Running

First you need to create distribution by executing following command:

./gradlew installDist

To begin download the azure client cli:

brew update && brew install azure-cli

After it has finished downloaded run:

az login

This should open a browser window for you to login, use your HMCTS account

After logging in run the following command:

az acr login --name hmcts --subscription <ask the team for the secret>

Make sure you are connected to the VPN to before you run docker-compose up otherwise it won't be able to use the image.

When the distribution has been created in build/install/prl-dgs-api directory, you can run the application by executing following command:

docker-compose up

As a result the following container(s) will get created and started:

• long living container for API application exposing port 4007

Troubleshooting

Managing Preview environment PODs

Make sure you have added the label 'enable_keep_helm' while creating the PR. Otherwise, add the label and re-trigger the build.

Testing

Integration tests

To run all integration tests locally:

• Make a copy of src/main/resources/example-application-aat.yml as src/main/resources/application-aat.yml
• Make a copy of src/integrationTest/resources/example-application-local.properties as src/integrationTest/resources/application-local.properties
• Replace the replace_me secrets in the newly created files. You can get the values from SCM and Azure secrets key vault (the new files are in .gitignore and should not be committed to git)
• Assuming you use IntelliJ, run your application
• And then run your gradle functional tests task
• Or if using command line:
  • Start the app with AAT config using ./gradlew clean bootRunAat
  • Start the test with AAT config using ./gradlew clean functional

If you update content in templates, you can re-generate the PDFs by running the ignored test PDFGenerationTest.ignoreMe_updateGeneratedPdfs. The test will output generated PDFs to the folder src/integrationTest/resources/documentgenerator/documents/regenerated

Unit tests

To run all unit tests please execute following command:

./gradlew test

Coding style tests

To run all checks (including unit tests) please execute following command:

./gradlew check

Mutation tests

To run all mutation tests execute the following command:

./gradlew pitest
