In the future we need to get the metadata from the file in order to work
out what form validation rules should apply (postage is only required
for UK letters).
To start doing this we need all instances of the app accepting `post`
requests with the `file_id` in the URL, as well as in the form data (for
backwards compatibility).
API gives an error if it tries to add a user to a service and that user is
already a member of the service. This situation shouldn't occur - admin checks
if an invited user is a member of a service before calling API, but we
have seen this error occurring when there are two requests processing at
the same time.
This change catches the errors from API if a user is already a member of
a service and redirects the user to the service dashboard so that they
don't see an error page.
By deep linking to the support form we skip the question that asks if
someone is a member of the public.
This seems like a helpful thing when we’re directing people to where
they can ask for document download to be switched on. But what I think
is happening (backed up from one example I can see in Kibana):
1. Someone searches for something like ‘email GOV.UK’
2. They land on https://www.notifications.service.gov.uk/features/email
3. They scan the page and think, hmm not sure what this is, I’m not
seeing what I’m looking for here…
4. …but aha, there’s a link that says ‘contact us’
5. They click it and land on
https://www.notifications.service.gov.uk/support/ask-question-give-feedback
which has a nice big box to type in
This commit removes these deep links from non-logged-in pages, so that
everyone has to go through the ‘are you a member of the public’ question
before they get to the big typey box.
The `_add_invited_user_to_service` function was calling the
`user_api_client` directly to add a user to a service. It now calls the
`add_to_service` method on the User model instead so that there is only
one place in the code that calls the `user_api_client`.
This is for consistency with how we do it for filenames in the previous
commit and moves the decoding into the `LetterMetadata` class for
abstracting this behaviour.
Small refactor of the LetterMetadata class needed to handle None case as
recipient can be None.
S3 can only handle ascii characters, therefore for filename which could
include non ascii characters, for example a filename with the character
'£' in it, we must encode these using urllib before saving it as s3
metadata. We then also make sure that it comes back decoded when
presenting it to the user.
These args are not inputs to the function under test, neither as way of
named arguments or as GET query parameters. I assume this has been
leftover from a previous refactor of behaviour.
S3 metadata only supports ascii characters. Whenever we save data to it
we need to make sure we encode it to save it and then decode it to
display it again to users. This abstraction will act as the place for
that decoding to happen so the rest of the code in our views doesn't
need to care about the encoding abstraction.
Up till now, when adding new organisation domain, if it was already
in use, we didn't handle the 400 we got back from API. This PR
adds handling for that error.
International letters aren’t sent by first or second class post. In
keeping with the little touch of skeumorphism, let’s label them with the
commonly recognised marker of international mail instead.
Why we did this originally[1]:
> Calculating the number of pages in a letter is quite slow. And the
> send yourself a test pages need to load _fast_. Since filling in
> placeholders is very unlikely to change the number of pages in the
> resultant letter, it’s pretty safe to cache that count, and makes the
> subsequent pages load a lot faster.
However things have changed since then:
- this journey is used for sending real letters, not just test ones
- we’re doing enough letters that even an unlikely discrepancy will (and
does) happen
- we cache the generation of the PDF now[2], so at least it’s not
generating the PDF twice, once for the preview and once for the page
count
- it’s no longer necessary to step through each address placeholder to
populate a one-off letter, so a little bit slower isn’t so bad
