The breaking change page was taking the rendered template and saving
that if the user confirmed the change. This meant that templates could
be saved with `<span class="placeholder">…</span>` in their subject line
for example.
This commit fixes it so that it uses whatever data the user submitted,
not the rendered version of this.
The PDF preview is all good, but it’s hard, finickeity and feels dirty
to embed a PDF in a web page. It’s a more natural thing to embed an
image in a web page.
So this commit adds another endpoint to return an image of a letter
template. It generates this image from the PDF preview, so the stack
looks like:
1. `template.png` (generated in admin)
2. `template.pdf` (generated in admin)
3. HTML preview (generated by a `Renderer` in utils)
4. `Template` instance
5. serialised template from API
6. Template stored in database
The library used to convert the PDF to an image is Wand[1], which binds
to ImageMagick underneath. So in order to get this working locally on a
Mac you will probably need to do:
`brew install imagemagick ghostscript cairo pango`.
To get it working on Ubuntu/EC2 is an exercise left to the reader…

Previewing a letter is different to previewing an email or text message
because:
- a letter has a layout
- the layout is fixed, ie it doesn’t depend on the user’s device
- the ‘send yourself a test’ feature won’t be as useful because it has
a lead time, so the feedback loop will be much longer
For these reasons a HTML-only preview of the letter won’t be enough (we
don’t think). A PDF is more appropriate because:
- it can replicate the layout of the letter exactly
- it is a print format, so the user could even print themselves a copy
locally to get a feel for how it will look
This commit makes use of Flask WeasyPrint [1] to take a HTML
representation of the letter, convert it to a PDF and serve it back to
the user.
The actual work to generate the HTML and specify the layout is done in
utils, same as we do for rendering other messages.

This page currently includes all notifications for all services, including
those sent using a test key. Stats on all other pages exclude test key usage,
though, which can lead to confusion for admins comparing numbers between
pages. Adding the option to toggle between including and excluding test key
usage on the platform admin page gives context for this difference, and allows
admins to see live usage of the platform as well as load associated with test
key usage.
* all current invocations of get_services now call get_active_services
EXCEPT for platform admin page (where we want to see inactive services
* cleaned up parameter names and unpacking (since *params is unhelpful)
* fixed incorrect kwarg name in conftest
Posit that examples of where you can put different parts of the address
is more helpful than ‘example, example, example’. Also shows that you
don’t have to fill all of the address columns.
Spot the Easter egg 🎅
Implements https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-utils/pull/81
Handles addresses as multiple columns:
- in ‘Send yourself a test’
- in example CSV files
- in validating that a CSV file has recipients (eg at least an ‘address
line 1’ and ‘postcode’ column)
- when showing the contents of a CSV file
As few UI changes as possible, once we have the thing working end-to-end
we can think about how the UI might need to work differently.
Who knows what would happen if a job with a letter template actually
got into the database. `403`ing the page is a quick and dirty hack to
stop this from happening.
Let users create/edit/delete letter templates.
Let them upload a CSV file or send a test against a letter template.
Big assumption at the moment is that addresses only have one line, and
therefore one column in the CSV file.
This is trying to resolve these confusions:
- that you’re in trial mode, which means you can’t have a live key yet (
or you can but it wont work, which is what we used to have)
- what does simulate mean
The create key page is the right place to resolve these confusions
because it’s where users are actively reading.
This commit also removes the trial mode banner from API integration
page because this where users _aren’t_ actively reading. A whole bunch
of users weren’t seeing this banner at all.
The implementation of the disabled API key options is kinda clunky
because WTForms doesn’t have a native way of doing this.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If we want someone to read something (ie that they need to have the MOU
signed), then the best way is to make them interact with it.
And if someone doesn’t have the MOU in place, then we need to know to
send them a copy. The best way of them telling us this is in this form,
rather than sending them to the generic contact form and have them
compose a message saying ‘please send me the MOU thanks’, which we
haven’t seen anyone actually do.
you can get in with either "manage_templates" or "send_letters"
also improve running of a bunch of tests, by parametrising rather than
looping and by cleaning up some mock imports
If you want to send a job on Monday morning, you should be able to
schedule it on Friday. You shouldn’t need to work on the weekend.
96 hours is a full 4 days, so you can schedule a job at any time on
Friday for any time on Monday.
We’ve checked with the information assurance people, and they’re OK
with us holding the data for this extra amount of time.
This commit changes the choose time form from showing one radio button
for each of the next 24 hours to one for each of the next 96 hours. It
changes the labels from ‘9am’ to ‘Monday at 9am’ so it’s clear which
day you’re choosing.
If you’re a platform admin, you should go straight to the platform admin
page when you log in.
The all services page is just a crappier version of the same thing,
without all the stats, etc.
also added tests for the various hiding logic points
also added new logged_in_client in conftest - so you dont need to
patch all those stupid API calls for get user and get service
