There are quite a few more options that there used to be in the settings
page. This means it’s hard to find the thing you want to change.
Grouping options is a common way of making things easier to find.
Grouping by channel (text, email, letter) is something we do elsewhere
that seems to work pretty well.
Two reasons to remove this:
1. It’s potentially confusing because you’ll see a preview of the first
message, but the first row might not appear in the table shown on
screen if it doesn’t have any errors.
2. If there are row-level errors in your file then they’re not related
to the template – it’s a distraction.
The send yourself a test flow doesn’t reference any kind of
file/rows/table in the front end any more, and doesn’t create a CSV in
the background (except for letters). And it should validate any mistakes
before getting to the check page.
So any user doing a send yourself a test flow should never get to this
template, which means we can remove some redundant code.
- This is done using a new endpoint in the api.
- Removed the AddServiceForm in favor or using the ServiceNameForm
- Removed ServiceApiClient.find_all_service_email_from
previously in run_app_paas.sh, we captured stdout from the app and
piped that into the log file. However, this came up with a bunch of
problems, mainly that exceptions with stack traces often weren't
formatted properly, and kibana could not parse them
instead, with the updated utils library, we can use that to log json
straight to the appropriate directory directly.
The meaning of trial mode has evolved now that we’re adding letters:
- the existing conditions only apply to texts and emails
- we need to explain what trial mode means for letters
Telling users that they can’t send to more than 50 recipients in trial
mode doesn’t apply for letters (they can’t send to _any_ recipients).
So we should make sure that the error message about not being able to
send to any recipients always comes up instead of the 50 recipients one,
whether you’re trying to upload a file with 1 or 111 rows.
Users in trial mode haven’t signed the MOU. This means that they haven’t
agreed to pay for any costs they incur.
Unlike text messages and emails, we don’t give you any free allowance of
letters. Sending _any_ letters will cost the user money.
Therefore we shouldn’t let users who haven’t agreed that they will pay
for the service to incur costs by sending letters.
The pattern used for this is roughly the same as other trial mode errors
that we have already, ie a red box that says you’re not allowed. Not
sure if this is exactly right because it’s not exactly an error so the
pattern might feel too heavy-handed.
Getting this in place means we can turn letters on for users in trial
mode without worrying that they’ll accidentally send real letters, which
would result in:
- us having to absorb those costs
- some awkward conversations
There is padding on the switch service link so that:
- it lines up with the service name
- it has a bigger hit area (because Fitt’s law[1])
This means that visually, the default focus state overlaps the blue
bar under the GOV.UK banner. So it needs a bit of custom CSS to make it
look right visually.
