The API clients should just deal with calling the API and returning the
data from it.
Inferring things from the data is more logically done at the model
layer. But we couldn’t do that before, because we didn’t have a model
layer for jobs.
By moving it from the view we reduce the complexity of the methods in
the view layer, so it’s easier to see what they do.
This also renames the variable `finished` to the property
`processing_finished` to disambiguate from the `job_status` field in the
JSON, which can also have a value of `finished`.
This follows the pattern of what we’ve done with services, users and
events.
It gives us a way of neatly instantiating a model for each item in the
list we get back from the API and reduces the complexity of the view
layer code.
Now is a good time to do this because we’re going to be making a bunch
of changes to the jobs pages, and those changes will be easier to code
and understand with a sensible model behind them.

It gives us a better interface to the data we get back from the API than
dealing with the raw JSON directly.

Before deploying a change to template-preview to return a validation error for letters that are missing the address block, we need to add the new erorr message to admin.
Some content changes have been made to other messages.
The format of the message has changed.
We removed govuk_template when we moved to the
GOVUK Frontend template.njk for our base layout.
The flag was originally turned on under the
assumption that the global CSS govuk_template adds
would be present in our cascade. It fixes issues
that CSS causes with the GOVUK Frontend CSS
further down.
This was mostly wrong, as we did remove the
govuk_template code, but our situation is a bit
different because when we removed it, we copied
across some global styles it introduces to prevent
problems with our own CSS.
One of the side-effects of turning on this flag
was that the Transport font was not being applied.
This turns the flag off again, which replaces the
font, and hard-codes in the fix having this flag
would have brought in: a darker colour for link
text when focused.
Celery/SQS underperforms in low-traffic environments. Tasks will sit on
celery queues for several seconds before getting picked up if they're
the only thing on the queue. This is observable in our test environments
like preview and staging, but we've got enough load on production that
this isn't an issue.
When we validate reply to email addresses, we expect a delivery receipt
to have been processed within 45 seconds of the button being pressed. On
preview, we often observe times over that, possibly due to the several
queues involved in sending an email and processing its receipt. So, to
ensure that functional tests can pass (when we don't really care how
fast things are, just that the flow doesn't break), bump this timeout up
to 120 seconds on preview. The functional tests were waiting for 120
seconds for the reply to address to be validated anyway.
os.environ is an `environ` object, not a dict. by only interacting with
it through builtin functions we can ensure it remains properly
accessible to third party libraries which might interact with it in
different ways.

Automatically fixes a load of known issues that
arise when you use GOVUK Frontend at the same time
as GOVUK Frontend Toolkit, GOVUK Template and
GOVUK Elements.
The statement `page.select('[download=download]')` was returning an
empty list because the link on the page has an empty `download`
attribute, rather than it being set to the string `download`.
This commit:
- updates the assertion to find the element on the page
- makes the test more specific by checking where the link goes to, not
just its exists or lack thereof
The SVG fallback image for the GOV.UK logo starts
its path as '/assets/images' by default unless you
send in an alternative root.
This sends in our static asset host root to stop
the image 404'ing on browsers that load it.
You can click the blue boxes to filter the list of notifications. Once
the notifications have gone there’s nothing to filter, so we should just
show the numbers but without them being clickable.
Notifications could be missing because:
- none have been created yet
- they’ve been deleted
This commit adds separate error messages for each case, rather than a
less helpful generic one.
We work out how complete a job’s processing is by looking at how many
notifications have been created.
Later, we deleted all the notifications, according to the data retention
schedule. This makes it look like the job has gone back to 0% processed.
This commit accounts for this by not showing the % complete message once
a finished job has had its notifications deleted.
Precompiled letters sent via the API don’t have:
- a template
- a filename
Which means in the list of returned letters we just show ‘None’. This
commit changes this to ‘Provided as PDF’, which is how we talk about
precompiled letters elsewhere (for example in the template statistics on
the dashboard).
