We’ve seen people land on this page and expect the message to be on
their phone already.
‘Check and confirm’ sounds a lot like ‘check your phone’, which is
language that we use earlier on when we _have_ sent a message.
Hopefully ‘preview’ is a better indication that it’s not sent yet.
After the tour we should ground users by dropping them on the dashboard.
In the background, we delete the example text message template. This
means that users start from a clean slate when they go to add their own
templates
This also means some wording changes to the tour so it still makes
(some) sense:
- 1, 2 and 3 should refer to the current step, not describe the next
one
- the link should take you to the dashboard
- change from ‘Get started’ to ‘Try this example’ because we’re using
‘Get started on the dashboard’
Steps to reproduce:
- make a template with a placeholder
- click ‘send yourself a test’
- leave fields blank
- click ‘check’
- see error, click ‘back’
Expected: previous page
Actual: previous page with blue help sidebar
When the URL contains `help=0`, `request.args.get('help')` returns '0'.
Doing `if '0':` is the same as doing any `if <non empty string>:` which
returns `True`.
So we should only display the help when the help query parameter is:
- not missing
- AND a string that isn’t `'0'`
This commit rearranges the CSV errors (again) to make them geared towards
teaching you how to match placeholders to the column headers.
So the order of errors now is:
1. No phone number/email column
2. Column headers don’t match placeholders
3. Missing or bad data
4. Trial mode
5. Daily limit reached
This depends on:
- [x] https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-utils/pull/39 for 1.
This commit makes two main changes to what happens when a user is
in trial mode and they upload some email addresses belonging to
other people.
1. Add a specific banner error telling the user about trial mode
2. Make this error higher priority, eg it will show up before the
error about having too many recipients in your file
This means making some changes to the tests so that the example CSV
files include the user’s phone number, then making them invalid by
omitting data required by the templates.
Depends on: https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-utils/pull/34
Generating the UUID can be can be contained within this function,
thus any other part of the code using it doesn’t have to do the
ID-generating stuff itself.
There shouldn’t be a case where we see a `ValueError` on upload any
more. Our file handling should be robust enough to deal with whatever is
thrown at it.
This commit:
- adds test files with bad data (PNG files with their extensions changed to look
like spreadsheets)
- catches whatever exceptions are raised by trying to parse these files
- returns a helpful flash message to the user
Anything else should raise a `500`, eg if the file can’t be uploaded to S3.
We require users to export their spreadsheets as CSV files before
uploading them. But this seems like the sort of thing a computer should
be able to do.
So this commit adds a wrapper class which:
- takes a the uploaded file
- returns it in a normalised format, or reads it using pyexcel[1]
- gives the data back in CSV format
This allows us to accept `.csv`, `.xlsx`, `.xls` (97 and 95), `.ods`,
`.xlsm` and `.tsv` files. We can upload the resultant CSV just like
normal, and process it for errors as before.
Testing
---
To test this I’ve added a selection of common spreadsheet files as test
data. They all contain the same data, so the tests look to see that the
resultant CSV output is the same for each.
UI changes
---
This commit doesn’t change the UI, apart from to give a different error
message if a user uploads a file type that we still don’t understand.
I intend to do this as a separate pull request, in order to fulfil
https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/119371637
This commit does two main things:
- adds textboxes to the send yourself a test page, so you can replace
((name)) with ‘Chris’, or whatever your name is
- rejigs the send page a bit to make it clearer what the CSV upload is
for and how to use it
The idea being that, since most users go into ‘send yourself a test’
first, it teaches them about how placeholders work by making them do the
replacing themselves.

There is a limit of 50 messages per day in trial mode. Right now, we
don’t tell you this, we just start failing your messages.
This commit adds an error message if you upload a CSV file that has too
many rows in it.
For users who:
- want to send messages from a template
- want to edit templates
For developers:
- who need to get the ID of a template
This commit mainly cleans up the choose template page so there are less
options, and the options that are there are less wordy.
This means:
- moving ‘send yourself a test’ onto the send messages page, and making
it button
- stripping a lot of stuff out of the ‘send from API’ page, so it’s more
obvious what the template ID is
We probably shouldn’t hide the contents of the CSV when people are just
testing the app, or if they’re starting off with small jobs.
A limit of 15 rows displayed was awkwardly on the cusp between just
testing and sending a small batch.
This commit increases the limit to 50; I reckon that over 50 recipients
no-one will be wanting to check them all individually.
The problem
---
1. Upload a CSV with problems
2. See the validation errors on the page
3. Try to re-upload the file
4. Get this error:
> Method Not Allowed
> The method is not allowed for the requested URL.
https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/116882241
The cause
---
The POST route for the check page (where you see errors in your files)
was removed here:
f3fd5f6b15 (diff-1dd8b3bf53dfd9382c7721051f3d930dR280)
The fix
---
This commit adds:
- a simple route which re-calls the initial ‘I have uploaded a file’ route
- a test to make sure that both of these routes are POSTed to
Would like to test something like this and see how well it works.
Intention of having this page is so:
- template IDs are discoverable (https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/115404593)
- it’s obvious there’s an ‘automated’ way to send messages, as well as the CSV
way (we’ve seen people oblivious to this in research)
Makes uses of the additions to utils in https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-utils/pull/9
This commit strips out a lot of the complex stuff that the views and templates
in this app were doing. There is now a cleaner separation of concerns:
- utils returns the number and type of errors in the csv
- `get_errors_for_csv` helper in this app maps the number and type of errors
onto human-friendly error messages
- the view and template just doing the glueing-together of all the pieces
This is (hopefully) easier to understand, definitely makes the component
parts easier to test in isolation, and makes it easier to give more specific
error messages.
