We have a `client_request` fixture which does a bunch of useful stuff
like:
- checking the status code of the response
- returning a `BeautifulSoup` object
For most tests of a platform admin view we used `platform_admin_client`
instead. This is not as good because it returns a raw `Response` object
and doesn’t do the additional checks.
This commit converts all the tests using `platform_admin_client` to:
use new `client_request` and log in as `platform_admin_user` before
making any requests.
This is also nice because it makes any test easy to parametrize with
additional users, for example to test differences in behaviour dependant
on being platform admin or not.
When dates chosen for billing report are not in the same
financial year, API throws an error. This error was not being
caught so far. This PR starts to catch it and display a banner
with error message on the page, instead of page crashing.
We used to upload this to performance platform to show the list of
services and organisations.
There is no longer a performance platform to upload this file to.
When we add a new property to the broadcast model, we need to delete any
cached broadcasts from Redis that are missing the new property. So this
adds an option to do this to the cache page in platform admin.
I’ve also tried to make it more obvious what the magic numbers in the
test fixture are doing.
This should:
- make the page load faster because it has to render less HTML for each
service
- make the page easier to scan for services that are sending lots of
text messages or letters
We used to scan this page to look for services with high failure rates,
and the design of the page was gear towards this. Now we have alerting
for high failure rates, so the page can focus on volumes instead.
This commit also puts the service name above the statistics, so that
long service names don’t break the layout of the page.
A lot of pages in the admin app are now generated entirely from Redis,
without touching the API.
The one remaining API call that a lot of pages make, when the user is
platform admin or a member of an organisation, is to get the name of
the current service’s organisation.
This commit adds some code to start caching that as well, which should
speed up page load times for when we’re clicking around the admin app
(it’s typically 100ms just to get the organisation, and more than that
when the API is under load).
This means changing the service model to get the organisation from the
API by ID, not by service ID. Otherwise it would be very hard to clear
the cache if the name of the organisation ever changed.
We can’t cache the whole organisation because it has a
`count_of_live_services` field which can change at any time, without an
update being made.
This page is slow to load which means:
- it’s annoying for us
- it’s potentially causing load on the database
This commit does two things to reduce the amount we’re unnecessarily
looking at this page:
1. Avoid redirecting to it when signing in as a platform admin user
2. Don’t go directly to it when clicking ‘platform admin’ at the top,
but instead show a holding page (there’s a fair chance you’ve clicked
that link in order to go and manage some email branding or find a
user, not wait for stats to load)
We’re going to start using the returned letters summary to show some
info on the dashboard.
This means we will be accessing it more often than it changes. And we
know exactly when it changes because it’s us manually submitting the
references we get from DVLA.
This makes it a good candidate for being cached, and Redis is where we
cache stuff that we’d otherwise go to the API for.
We can use the ‘Uploads’ feature to check if letters are printable now.
This code works in a completely different way, so if we kept it we’d
have to maintain two different code paths, and make sure that they
didn’t diverge.
Also deletes the related HTML templates.
We mostly rely on the API returning a 404 to generate 404s for trying
to get things with non-UUID IDs. This is fine, except our tests often
mock these API calls. So it could look like everything is working fine,
except the thing your passing in might never be a valid UUID, and thus
would 404 in a non-test environment.
So this commit:
1. uses the `uuid` URL converter everywhere there’s something that looks
like an ID in a URL parameter
2. adds a test which automates checking for 1.
This report will be used by the engagement team. There is a form to give
a start and end date for the report, and the form is then downloaded
as a CSV file when the form is submitted.
Rather than force us to write the decorators in a specific order let’s
just have one decorator call the other. This should make fewer lines of
code, and fewer annoying test failures. It also means that the same way
of raising a `401` (through the `current_app` method) is used
everywhere.
At the moment we mostly have `user_has_permissions` execute first. It
shouldn’t matter, but it feels right for us to check that a user is
logged in before we check their permissions to a service. Otherwise a
malicious user could (maybe) check if a service ID belongs to a real
service, and go on to do something malicious with that information.
This commit adds some extra test code to enforce that the order is
always the same.
N.B. decorators in Python execute from closest to furthest (from the
line on which the function is defined).
We accidentally miss these sometimes. This code adds a test which
inspects the code to automatically check that any function which:
- handles a route
- accepts a service_id
For each function it checks that each of these routes have the
permissions decorator we’d expect.
Most of the introspection/AST code is adapted from here:
https://mvdwoord.github.io/exploration/2017/08/18/ast_explore.html
This should make the ‘All organisations’ page load a lil’ bit quicker.
Still worth caching the domains separately so the response is smaller
when we only care about domains. This is because the code that uses the
domains is part of the sign up flow, so it’s really important that it’s
snappy.
In the short term I have created a duplicate version of the letter-validation-preview so that people from a service can upload a pdf and see why the letter isnot validating.
It's hard to get a precompiled letter to validate when starting to integrate with Notify. This will return the overlay of the letter validation and is now available to the services.
At the moment they send us a PDF to upload.
This is temporary because there is a story to create a one-off flow to get this overlay, that will replace this page.
There is no navigation to this on purpose.
