Attribute Encryption

Attribute encryption on models is required for any attribute that contains personal information or other sensitive data. The default solution is the attr_encrypted gem. A more secure alternative is Vault.

Vault

Vault is an optional component to this project. We mostly are using its Encryption As A Service feature. This functionality is wrapped by the vault-rails gem.
In the test and development modes you do not need an actual Vault server running. The gem will intercept and perform all encryption that would normally by done by the Vault encryption server.
To use Vault, search the project for 'vault' and read the comments.

Captcha

Visit https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/intro to see how to use reCAPTCHA. You'll need to register your website at https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/, choose captcha type, and you'll get site_key and secret_key. Put them in the credentials.
For development, you will find sample keys in config/credentials.yml.enc.

Tests

How to run the test suite:

• To run all tests: rails test
• To run all tests from specific directory: rails test test/models
• To run all tests from specific file: rails test test/models/article_test.rb
• To run specific test and line: rails test test/models/article_test.rb:6

If you see errors related to yarn while running tests locally, try rake assets:clobber and yarn install.

Continuous Integration

We use Github Actions. See .github directory for more details.
The test credentials are kept in config/credentials/test.yml.enc. We have encrypted test.key to decrypt these credentials.
To decrypt the file: gpg --output config/credentials/test.key --decrypt config/credentials/test_key.gpg.
To encrypt the file: gpg -c --output config/credentials/test_key.gpg config/credentials/test.key.
To decrypt and encrypt the file you need a passphrase, please ask your team leader about it.
