`_get_current_service` is a function which gets called every time
`current_service` is referenced in a view method or Jinja template.
Because the service model was getting initialised inside this function
it was being reconstructed many times in one request. On the service
settings page, for example, it was getting initialised 43 times, adding
about 200ms to the response time.
This commit moves its initialisation to the point where we’re getting
the data from the API, which only happens once per request.
Once all our users have upgraded to the latest clients they won’t need
this. The latest clients only use the combined key and service ID.
Discuss: when can we safely remove it?
At the moment we show precompiled letters that have failed the
validation as having been sent. This is confusing.
We should communicate it as having been cancelled (rather than failed),
with the implication being that Notify has come along and cancelled the
letter before printing it. I think this is conceptually what makes the
most sense.
From the user’s point of view any letters that show up as cancelled
probably need to be fixed and resent, so it makes sense to group them
with the same name.
At the moment we are manually cancelling letters for people when they
ask us to. Once’s we’ve done this there is no indication that it’s
happened except for the date going red on the list of letters.
This commit adds some error messaging and styling to show when a letter
is cancelled.
Letting people cancel their own letters will be a future enhancement.
We were passing both dvla_org_id and filename to template-preview
temporarily while we switch to only using filename. Now that
template-preview is set up to use filename, we can stop sending the
dvla_org_id too.
One of the changes this pulls in is encoding of
periods in the token used for new password
requests.
In real-life the resulting URL is build by
concatenating the base url with the token so it
isn't processed further.
The test for new password requests builds the URL
with url_for. This encodes the result returned so
the periods are encoded twice.
We now pass through `filename` to the Template Preview `/preview.<filetype>'
endpoint in addition to the `dvla_org_id`. Template Preview will be
changed to only use `filename`, and once this has been done, we can change
the code to only pass through `dvla_org_id` instead of passing through
both pieces of information.
