It’s one of the things we check when someone makes a request to go live,
and putting it in the ticket means we don’t have to take the extra step
of clicking into the settings.
Also added some line breaks to chunk things up a bit more clearly.
When we get a support ticket we need to check whether a user has any
live services.
We have a method for this on the user model now, so we don’t need a
separate function in the feedback code.
It wasn’t very well tested so I’ve adapted the old tests from the
feedback view to work against the method on the user model too.
Includes changing form.enabled to use
OnOffField, for consistency with other on/off
fields.
OnOffField's data is a boolean, not a string, so
some of the logic using it needed to be changed.
On the uploads page we only show jobs which are within a service’s data
retention.
This commit does the same for when we’re listing the jobs for a contact
list. This matches the UI, which says a contact list has been ‘used
`<count_of_jobs>` in the last <data_retention> days’
It’s a bit unintuitive that starting a job from a contact list makes a
copy of the file, which has no relationship to the list it was copied
from. This is more of an implementation detail, rather than something
that comes from people’s mental models of what is going on. Or at least
that’s what I hypothesise.
I think it’s clearer to show jobs that come from contact lists within
the lists that they were created from. By naming the jobs by template
this gives a clearer view of what messages have been sent to the group
over time.
Live services shouldn't be able to request to go live again. Once a
service is live we remove the option to go live from the Settings page,
but we still link to the page to request to go live from other places
e.g. the 'Get started' page. As a result, we've seen some services make
another request to go live when their service has already been live for
months - this change will stop that from happening.
We look for `original_file_name` in the metadata now. Initially we were
still checking the query string too, but now that the change to add the
filename to the metadata has been deployed for a while there shouldn't
be any cases of the filename still being in a query string.
Since the `original_file_name` is not being added to the metadata in
`.check_messages` (it has happened earlier in the process) a few tests
are no longer needed.
The code was looking for `original_file_name` in the metadata for a
contact list, or the query string if it wasn't in the metadata. Now that
the change to use the metadata for the file name has been deployed for a
while e can stop looking in the query string for the
`original_file_name`.
When sending from an uploaded CSV `.send_messages` now puts the filename
in the metadata. It previously used the query string to pass the
filename to `.check_messages`, where it can be lost.
The `.send_from_contact_list` function redirected to `.check_messages`
with `original_file_name` in the query string. Contact lists already
have `original_file_name` as part of their metadata, so we can stop
sending it in the query string and use the metadata instead.
We were passing `original_file_name` from the `.upload_contact_list`
view function to the `.check_contact_list` view function as a query
param. We now store it in the metadata instead. `.check_contact_list`
still checks for `original_file_name` in the query string if it's not in
the metadata - this is necessary until the code has been deployed for a
few days and we can be sure that there are no contact lists that are
mid-way through the upload stage.
Splitting the dashboard into multiple sections was confusing, and people
sometimes mistook the headings as labels, especially when a section was
empty. It just wasn’t clear what the hierarchy of the page was.
This commit combines the current and pending broadcasts into one list
on the dashboard. Previous broadcasts have already moved to their own
page.
If you refresh the page on a current broadcast while someone has
cancelled it you’ll see the wrong navigation item selected. This commit
adds redirects to take you to the correct endpoint in these edge cases.
Once a broadcast has been submitted for approval it either lives on the
‘Current alerts’ or ‘Previous alerts’ page, depending on where it is
in its lifecycle.
Therefore when clicking into a broadcast from one of those pages the
same navigation item should remain selected.
Because we select the navigation items based on the request endpoint,
this means we need an endpoint for each navigation page, even if the
content of the pages will be the same in both cases.
This commit adds the two new end points, removes the old, single
endpoint and updates links to point to the new endpoint.
The idea was that this would be a place to document all the design
patterns used in Notify. However it hasn’t been kept up to date, and,
looking at the `git blame`[1] no new patterns have been added for 5
years.
I think it’s better to get rid of it than have to keep maintaining
something which is inaccurate.

The dashboard for normal services is quite general, because it tells
you a bit about channels, templates and spend.
What is now the dashboard for broadcast services is much more specific,
therefore less like a dashboard. We can reflect this by giving it a more
specific name. This should reduce the amount of navigation surfing
people need to do in order to find the thing they’re looking for.
Previous alerts are much less important than ones that are live or
waiting for approval.
Therefore we can make the dashboard more focused by moving previous
alerts to their own page.
We don't need these anymore as all users will use the `one-off/step`
routes.
This has mostly involved tidying up the tests which are still a little
disorganised and not as good as I'd like but it's a step in the right
direction.
More refactoring is still possible to the routes, it may come in a later
PR if I have time.
When we add a new property to the broadcast model, we need to delete any
cached broadcasts from Redis that are missing the new property. So this
adds an option to do this to the cache page in platform admin.
I’ve also tried to make it more obvious what the magic numbers in the
test fixture are doing.
with reset password email.
This is so when users reset their password they are still
redirected to pages they were meant to visit.
This change was done specifically so everyone who is meant to see
broadcast tour sees it, but it will improve lives of all users
who wanted to visit a page on Notify but then had to reset
their password in the process.
There is no real reason to have to support both 'one-off' steps and also
'test' steps when sending a one off notification. It's a lot of complex
code, just to now set the one of the placeholders in the session.
We make our code much simpler but no longer using the 'test' routes but
instead adding a new endpoint to set the notification recipient when
sending to yourself before continuing on with the rest of the 'one-off'
flow.
After this is deployed for a day then we can completely remove the
'test' routes and this will help remove a lot of code complexity.
