Data retention lookup by type is only performed to get the number
of days, so we can update the service method to return the number
or the default directly.
Adds caching for service data retention. This removes separate API
client methods to retrieve individual data retention records by id
or type in favor of a single method that fetches and caches all
retention settings configured for the service. This makes it much
easier to invalidate cache when settings change.
Lookup by id or type is provided by helper methods in the service
model.
WTForms coerces `None` as a choice to `'None'` as a string when
rendering form fields (form fields will only ever have string data
because that what the browser posts back).
But internally WTForms coerces `None` to mean an unset value, ie where
the user hasn’t selected a radio button:
283b280320/src/wtforms/utils.py (L1-L20)
We shouldn’t use `None` to mean two different things. And in fact we
can’t, because it in effect means that we’re always getting a value
for the `move_to` field, even if the user hasn’t chosen to move any
templates. Which results in some very expected behaviour.
This saves one call to the API or Redis in the common case where the
current service does have templates.
This is because `any()` evaluates all expressions before running,
whereas `or` will only evaluate the second expression if the first
returns `False`-y.
Since we’re letting users add new folders directly from the choose page
it makes sense that they should also be able to add templates from
there.
This resolves the problem we saw in user research where people found it
hard to know where to go to add a new folder when they were all behind
one green button.
This was always showing the text 'Your letter has been sent...' This has
now been updated to start 'Your letters have been sent...' if a job has
more than one notification in it.
This commit adds content pages for the notifications pages, particularly
the letter pages, which will make things clearer now that we will soon be allowing
letters to be cancelled.
The main changes are:
* The confirmation banner for letters sent from a CSV file now states when
printing will start.
* We state the CSV file that notifications were sent from on the
notifications page
* The notification page for letters shows when printing starts (today,
tomorrow, or that date that the letter was printed)

This is what Gunicorn is looking for when it’s running the app.
Renaming this variable to `app` has caused the app to break once
deployed on PaaS.
This commit also renames `app` to `flask_app` to make it clear which
app is wrapping which other app.
Since we version our asset filenames there’s no need for a browser to
ever fetch the same file twice. It should always cache fetch from its
own cache.
The accepted way to effect this behaviour is using the expires header,
which is what this argument to `WhiteNoise` does.
This matches what we tell people, in the README, to put in their local
environment.sh
It doesn’t matter what Jenkins sets this to, as long as it’s not
`'development'`. We think Jenkins isn’t setting it at all (in which
case the value will be `undefined`)
The CDN URLs aren’t in included in the content security policy. So
browsers will refuse to load them.
This commit:
- adds each of the CDN URLs to the
- only prepend URLs in CSS files with `/static/` if we’re running
locally (because the CDN URLs are like `static.example.com` not
`example.com/static`)
`www.notifications.service.gov.uk` domain is:
- not gzipped
The PaaS proxy used to GZip and set headers for anything served from a
path starting with `/static/`:
76dd511a8a/ansible/roles/paas-proxy/templates/admin.conf.j2 (L53-L64)
Anything served from `static.notifications.service.gov.uk` is:
- GZipped
- and as a bonus, cached by Cloudfront where possible (meaning the
requests won’t ever hit our app)
This commit moves to serving static asset from `/static/` to
`static.notifications.service.gov.uk`, to get the above listed benefits.

We could do even better by setting long cache expiry headers on the static subdomain (currently they’re only set to cache for 60 seconds). But that’s out of scope for this commit.
