We pin pointed the problem to a bad loop that was calling the format_phone_number_human_readable 216 for 25 rows, yikes.
This PR fixes that performance problem.
We have a team who want their (short) web address as the text message
sender. This commit updates the validation of text message senders to
allow `.` as a valid character, which is currently blocking them from
doing this.
We can be fairly confident this works because:
- the team are sending large volumes of messages already with their
existing provider
- we’ve tested it with all combinations of
- both our text message providers
- an Android phone and n iPhone
Using a separate validator class to check for appropriate characters in
a text message sender means that we’re not doing this validation in a
different way from the other checks (length and required). So the code
is cleaner.
Another thing we did for templates, when they started to get
unmanageable, was add a find-as-you type search. We’ve observed real
users interacting with this to great effect, so I think it makes sense
for users too.
Like for templates, it only shows up when there are more than 7, so that
it’s not clutter for teams who don’t have a lot of members.
Some teams have a lot of users now (I think the record is 172). So we
should make it easier for teams to manage large numbers of users.
This is the same change we made for templates (from most recent to
alphabetical) when the number of templates was getting unmanageable.
Sorted on email address because invited users don’t have a name (and
not sorted on both, because a lot of departments have a
`lastname.firstname` scheme for email addresses, but people generally
enter their names as `Firstname Lastname`).
Users can choose whether to have these features on or off now. And
a platform admin can still use the same controls to switch the features
on or off on behalf of a user. There’s no need for the separate buttons.
Our support ticket analysis shows that the most common action request
after going live is turning on letters.
We just do this for any team that requests it – there’s no gatekeeping.
So we should just allow people to make the change themselves.
This will be a better experience for our users, and less work for us.
The design of the page replicates roughly what we have for international
text messaging.
When we first made this form you couldn’t send one off messages with
Notify. It’s interesting to us because it might help identity teams who
would benefit from email auth, or other features that we build in the
future for caseworkers.
Spreadsheets start at row 1 (the header row), and the values don’t start
until row 2. The row numbers in our URLs start at 0, which is a concept
that only makes sense to programmers.
It’s more predictable and consistent to make the number in the URL match
the row number displayed on the page when previewing the spreadsheet.
We’ve heard from some users, especially those sending letters, that
they’d like to check that a spreadsheet they’ve uploaded has populated
the template correctly.
My reckon is that seeing just one row of the spreadsheet populate the
template isn’t enough to give people confidence that everything’s
working properly.
This commit adds links to all but the currently-previewed row. Clicking
that link will populate the preview with values from that row. These
pages already exist; they were created in this PR:
https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-admin/pull/1696
Email addresses in invites should be case insensitive. This is to stop
the bug where a user creates their account using a lower case email
address (e.g. user1@gov.uk), but is then invited to a service using
their email address in a different case (e.g. USER1.gov.uk) and sees
an error message telling them that they can't accept an invite for a
different email address.
Because exceptions can be expensive performance wise (see:
https://docs.python.org/3/faq/design.html#how-fast-are-exceptions).
Since we’re counting the number of rows anyway this doesn’t introduce
any performance overhead there. And I think it’s equally readable/same
number of lines of code.
We’ve heard from some users, especially those sending letters, that
they’d like to check that a spreadsheet they’ve uploaded has populated
the template correctly.
My reckon is that seeing just one row of the spreadsheet populate the
template isn’t enough to give people confidence that everything’s
working properly. So this commit is the first step towards being able
to preview an arbitrary row of a template, by extending the URL
structure to optionally accept a row number for pages or files (ie PNG)
that preview successfully uploaded spreadsheets.
What this commit doesn’t do is link to these pages; that will come as
part of a subsequent commit.
Since instances of `Recipients` are now iterable we can just look up the
first row by index, rather than having to hit the rows property as a
generator.
There is a chance that there won’t be a first row, if the file has 1 or
fewer columns. So we still need to handle a possible exception (albeit
it a different one to before).
This variable isn’t used by our Jinja templates. Presumably it was
from the time before instances of `Template` were responsible for
showing who the email/text message was being sent to.
Since we’re doing this globally, we don’t need to handle it in a custom
way for the sign in form (and it’s much nicer encapsulated like this).
Also added some more extensive tests in this commit.
We’ve had whitespace-in-emails problems on:
- register form
- sign in form
- send one off form
We should just handle whitespace gracefully, by ignoring it. Makes sense
to do this at a global level because there might be other places it’s
causing problems that we don’t know about.
The only place that users _might_ be relying on leading/trailing spaces
(and we have no way of knowing this) is in passwords or tokens. So this
filter ignores any instances of `PasswordField`.

Delivery comes before inbound. The order of the URLs was jumbled in two
places:
- in the view function
- in the Jinja template
So as the user saw it the URLs were in the right order, because the
double jumbling cancelled itself out. But it made the code _really_
confusing to read.
When viewing a letter template, there is a button to edit the letter
contact block. This should take the user to the page to edit the letter
contact block, but if a service has not set any letter contact blocks, the
button was returning a 404 error.
The code has now been changed so that if the service has no letter contact
blocks the edit button will link to the page to add a letter contact
block.

We call the yellow things ‘double brackets’ on the frontend, not fields
or placeholders. This error message was a bit out of date.
Also refactored it to use the `Field` class; this code was probably
written before `Field` was factored out of `Template`.
