The NHS is a special case because it’s not one organisation, but it does
have one consistent brand. So anyone working for an NHS organisation
should have their default branding set when they create a service, even
if we know nothing about their specific organisation.
This is fiendishly difficult error to discover on your own.
It’s caused when, during the creation of a row in the database, you run
a query on the same table, or a table that joins to the table you’re
inserting into. What I think is happening is that the database is forced
to flush the session before running the query in order to maintain
consistency.
This means that the session is clean by the time the history stuff comes
to do its work, so there’s nothing for it to copy into the history
table, and it silently fails to record history.
Hopefully raising an exception will:
- prevent this from failing silently
- save whoever comes across this issue in the future a whole load of
time
the create_nightly_notification_status task runs at 00:30am UK time,
however this means that in summer datetime.today() will return the
wrong date as the server (which runs on UTC) will run the task at
23:30 (populating the wrong row in the table).
fix this to use nice tz aware functions
The previous query was including all notifications regardless of notification_status. I don't think that's right, it shouldn't include things like technical-failure or validation-failed. Thoughts?
I also need to remove the query that's no longer being used.
also, it should default to last 7 days, not last 6 days. also change
count_inbound_sms to have the days passed in, so that it's more
explicit at the endpoint that we only return 7 days regardless of your
service's data retention
This sets the folder permissions for a user when adding them to a
service. If a user is being added to a service after accepting an
invite, we need to account for the possibility that the folders we are
trying to add them to have been deleted before they accepted the invite.
Currently we have
- a thing in the database called an ‘organisation’ which we don’t use
- the idea of an organisation which we derive from the user’s email
address and is used to set the default branding for their service and
determine whether they’ve signed the MOU
We should make these two things into one thing, by storing everything
we know about an organisation against that organisation in the database.
This will be much less laborious than storing it in a YAML file that
needs a deploy every time it’s updated.
An organisation can now have:
- domains which we can use to automatically associate services with it
(eg anyone whose email address ends in `dwp.gsi.gov.uk` gets services
they create associated to the DWP organisation)
- default letter branding for any new services
- default email branding for any new services
code inspired by the delete notification code, but with some clean up
since we don't deal with different types etc, and only need to run the
query for services with inbound numbers
also, update tests.app.db.create_inbound_sms to create inbound numbers
and assign them to services to ensure the test db is always accurate
and reflects real world usage
Currently we switch if:
* status = delivered and updated_at - sent_at > threshold
* status = sending and now - sent_at > threshold
firetext can leave notifications in the pending state, which is
equivalent to sending in terms of how we should handle it, so this
commit changes the second case to allow pending as well as sending.
Step 1 of 2 of turning on folders for all services.
We think it’s a feature which will be useful for the majority of
services, and we think we’ve done enough research to know that it’s
mature enough to release to all services.
However, until we can create a letter without a logo, we will still default to hm-government, because the dvla_organisation is set on the service.
This does simplify the code.
Also removed the inserts to letter_branding in the data migration file, because we can deploy this before the rest of the work is finished. But we will need to do it later.
Currently, admin app requests service statistics (with notification
counts grouped by status) and template statistics (with counts by
template) in order to display the service dashboard.
Service statistics are gathered from FactNotificationStatus table
(counts for the last 7 days) combined with Notification (counts for
today).
Template statistics are currently gathered from redis cache, which
contains a separate counter per template per day. It's hard for us
to maintain consistency between redis and DB counts. Currently it
doesn't update the count for cancelled letters, counter resets in
the middle of the day might produce a wrong result for the rest of
the week and cleared redis cache can't be repopulated for services
with low data retention periods).
Since FactNotificationStatus already contains separate counts for
each template_id we can use the existing logic with some additional
filters to get separate counts for each template and status combination,
which would allow us to populate the service dashboard page from one
query response.
