We had some kind of idea that having this empty page would introduce the
idea of choosing areas and reinforce that you are building up a list of
areas.
But since the journey is now so simple with the button to create an
alert directly on the dashboard page, maybe people don’t need this extra
orientation.
We hide the radio field in the HTML for platform admins, as we don't
want anyone to be able to change their auth type. However, when the form
is validated, the form has a field called login_authentication that it
expects a value for. It silently fails as it complains that when the
user POSTed they didn't select a value for that radio field, but the
error message is on the radio fields that don't get displayed to the
user so they'd never know.
Fixing this is actually pretty hard.
We use this form in two places, one where we have a user to edit, one
where we are creating an invite from scratch. So sometimes we don't know
about a user's auth type. In addition, radio buttons are mandatory by
design, but now sometimes we don't just want to make it optional but
explicitly ignore the value being passed in? To solve this, remove the
field entirely from the form if the user is a platform admin. This means
that if the code in manage_users.py tries to access the
login_authentication value from the form, it'll error, but I think
that's okay to leave for now given we concede that this isn't a perfect
final solution.
The tests didn't flag this previously as they tried to set from sms_auth
(the default for `platform_admin_user`) TO email_auth or sms_auth. Also,
the diagnosis of this bug was confounded further by the fact that
`mock_get_users_by_service` sets what is returned by the API - the
service model then takes the IDs out of that response and calls
`User.get_user_by_id` for the matching ID (as in, the code only uses
get_users_by_service to ensure the user belongs to that service). This
means that we accidentally set the form editing the current user, as
when we log in we set `get_user_by_id` to return the user of our choice
This is the only way I can think to stop this shape self-intersecting
without drastically changing its area (i.e. filling the hole in the
donut).
This is the only area in our library which is a genuine donut and
presents this problem
Some of the polygons in our source data are invalid. An invalid polygon
is one that self intersects, in other words has a point which causes
the boundary of the shape to cross itself.
This doesn’t cause an exception until we try to perform certain
operations on one of these polygons, like intersecting them with another
polygon. This is why we haven’t spotted that they are invalid until now.
This commit adds checks so that as we import the polygons we make sure
they are valid.
If they are not valid, we can automatically fix them by just looking at
the exterior boundary of the shape, and ignore any holes created by
self intersection.
This continues the work from Template Preview [1], so that we have
a complete store of original PDFs to use for testing changes to it.
Previously we did store some originals, but these were only invalid
PDFs that had failed sanitisation; for valid PDFs, the "transient"
bucket only contains the sanitised versions, which the API deletes
/ moves when the notification is sent [2].
Since the notification is only created at a later stage [3], there's
no easy way to get the final name of the PDF we send to DVLA. Instead,
we use the "upload_id", which eventually becomes the notification ID
[4]. This should be enough to trace the file for specific debugging.
Note that we only want to store original PDFs if they're valid (and
virus free!), since there's no point testing changes with bad data.

We have a label saying "other live services". This label means
other live services for a user making the request, but it could
also be interpreted as other live services for an organisation.
Hence, we are changing the label to "other live services for
that user" to avoid confusion
Previously this was duplicated between the "two_factor" and the
"webauthn" views, and required more test setup. This DRYs up the
check and tests it once, using mocks to simplify the view tests.
As part of DRYing up the check into a util module, I've also moved
the "is_less_than_days_ago" function it uses.
This better reflects how the code is reused in other views and is
not specific to two factor actions. We have a pattern of testing
utility functionality for each view (as opposed to testing the util
+ the view calls the util), so I'm leaving the tests as-is.
Was just in one of those meetings where it felt like writing this would
take less time than I’d already spent talking about its relative
priority…

In the admin app you can already set the broadcast channel as 'test', 'severe' or 'government'.
Aim:
- Add the 'operator' channel to the list of channels you can pick for the admin app broadcast services
Note:
- The API already supports this - https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-api/pull/3262
- The CBC proxy does not yet support the operator channel and this will need a separate card. That card has not yet been written because the interface has not been agreed between us and the MNOs yet.
- Will need to have the ability to select the operator channel for just a single MNO like we do for the other channels
- If we add this, we shouldn't actually start using it until the MNO in question gives us the go ahead.

Previously this was hidden away in an anonymous __init__.py file.
I did think about splitting the models into individual files, like
we do with the top-level models for the app. Since the models are
only imported in one place - i.e. are all used together - it didn't
seem worth the hassle, so I've kept them in one file.
is unable to print the letter we need to mark the letter as failed.
If we mark the letter as a technical-failure, we say that we will fix
the issue, which is wrong because we can not fix the issue.
If we mark the letter as validation-failed, the letter is in wrong
bucket so the letter is not viewable/downloadable by the client.
This PR updates the message for a letter marked as permanent-failure to
better reflect what has actually happened.
This saves a bit of repetition, and lets us attach other methods to the
collection, rather than having multiple methods on the user object
prefixed with the same name, or random functions floating about.
This provides more room for expansion, so we don't get another
massive file to scroll through. We do also have some top-level
files, such as "formatters.py", which we could consider moving
under utils/ in future.
