The 'Register or renew as a waste carrier' service allows businesses, who deal with waste and have to register according to the regulations, to register online. Once registered, businesses can sign in again to edit their registrations if needed.
The service also allows authorised agency users and NCCC staff to create and manage registrations on other users' behalf, e.g. to support 'Assisted Digital' registrations. The service provides an internal user account management facility which allows authorised administrators to create and manage other agency user accounts.
This project is the back office application which internal EA users use to manage the service and the registrations submitted.
You'll need Ruby 3.1.2 installed plus the Bundler gem.
First clone the repository and then drop into your new local repo
git clone https://github.com/defra/waste-carriers-back-office.git && cd waste-carriers-back-officeNext download and install the dependencies
bundle installAny configuration is expected to be driven by environment variables when the service is run in production as per 12 factor app.
However when running locally in development mode or in test it makes use of the Dotenv gem. This is a shim that will load values stored in a .env file into the environment which the service will then pick up as though they were there all along.
Check out .env.example for details of what you need in your .env file, and what environment variables you'll need in production.
Simply start the app using bundle exec rails s. If you are in an environment with other Rails apps running you might find the default port of 3000 is in use and so get an error.
If that's the case use bundle exec rails s -p 8001 swapping 8001 for whatever port you want to use.
The test suite is written in RSpec.
To run all the tests, use bundle exec rspec
