Detailed requirements

As part of this challenge, you need to make the following changes on the legacy challenge migration script:

 
  1. Rename the `isActive` property of the phases to `isOpen`.

  2. The `isOpen` property is used to indicate the status of the phase. From `phase_status_lu`, table use the `description` as `phaseStatus` to set its value. If it's 'Open' then `isOpen` should be set to `true` otherwise set to `false`. The `isOpen` property in the Phases model indicates if the Phase can be used or not but the same field in a phase that’s associated with a challenge indicates if a phase is open or not.

  3. Based on the challenge type ID, find the associated timeline template by calling the /challengeTimelines/:typeId endpoint and set the `timelineTemplateId` properly. Currently, there's a `TODO` comment and its default value is `FIX ME`. Let's fix it :)
    This endpoint is currently not implemented. Check the link to the other challenge at the end of this specification to see how this endpoint will work so you can mock it.

  4. The phase duration should be saved in seconds and not in hours. If we have any specific calculations/restrictions, update them to be in seconds instead of hours.

 

We’re running the following challenge in parallel in order to make the required changes in the Challenge API.

For testing purposes, you may have to mock some endpoints.
