This deletes a big ol' chunk of code related to letters. It's not everything—there are still a few things that might be tied to sms/email—but it's the the heart of letters function. SMS and email function should be untouched by this.
Areas affected:
- Things obviously about letters
- PDF tasks, used for precompiling letters
- Virus scanning, used for those PDFs
- FTP, used to send letters to the printer
- Postage stuff
When we cloned the repository and started making modifications, we
didn't initially keep tests in step. This commit tries to get us to a
clean test run by skipping tests that are failing and removing some
that we no longer expect to use (MMG, Firetext), with the intention that
we will come back in future and update or remove them as appropriate.
To find all tests skipped, search for `@pytest.mark.skip(reason="Needs
updating for TTS:`. There will be a brief description of the work that
needs to be done to get them passing, if known. Delete that line to make
them run in a standard test run (`make test`).
The tests were previously covering a shared function that's now
only used once, so I've inlined it and merged the tests together
with a common naming that's consistent with the code under test.
* notify_db fixture creates the database connection and ensures the test
db exists and has migrations applied etc. It will run once per session
(test run).
* notify_db_session fixture runs after your test finishes and deletes
all non static (eg type table) data.
In unit tests that hit the database (ie: most of them), 99% of the time
we will need to use notify_db_session to ensure everything is reset. The
only time we don't need to use it is when we're querying things such as
"ensure get X works when database is empty". This is such a low
percentage of tests that it's easier for us to just use
notify_db_session every time, and ensure that all our tests run much
more consistently, at the cost of a small bit of performance when
running tests.
We used to use notify_db to access the session object for manually
adding, committing, etc. To dissuade usage of that fixture I've moved
that to the `notify_db_session`. I've then removed all uses of notify_db
that I could find in the codebase.
As a note, if you're writing a test that uses a `sample_x` fixture, all
of those fixtures rely on notify_db_session so you'll get the teardown
functionality for free. If you're just calling eg `create_x` db.py
functions, then you'll need to make you add notify_db_session fixture to
your test, even if you aren't manually accessing the session.
Last year we had an issue with the daily limit cache and the query that was populating it. As a result we have not been checking the daily limit properly. This PR should correct all that.
The daily limit cache is not being incremented in app.notifications.process_notifications.persist_notification, this method is and should always be the only method used to create a notification.
We increment the daily limit cache is redis is enabled (and it is always enabled for production) and the key type for the notification is team or normal.
We check if the daily limit is exceed in many places:
- app.celery.tasks.process_job
- app.v2.notifications.post_notifications.post_notification
- app.v2.notifications.post_notifications.post_precompiled_letter_notification
- app.service.send_notification.send_one_off_notification
- app.service.send_notification.send_pdf_letter_notification
If the daily limits cache is not found, set the cache to 0 with an expiry of 24 hours. The daily limit cache key is service_id-yyy-mm-dd-count, so each day a new cache is created.
The best thing about this PR is that the app.service_dao.fetch_todays_total_message_count query has been removed. This query was not performant and had been wrong for ages.
The query had a group by on notification_type and notification_status, this not only slows the query down but is wrong. The query only looked at the first result, but this query would return as many rows as different notification types and status, meaning the results do not include the correct number.
Are we concerned that all status types are included. For example letters can be cancelled or have validation-failures which shouldn't be included in the daily limit check.
Flake8 Bugbear checks for some extra things that aren’t code style
errors, but are likely to introduce bugs or unexpected behaviour. A
good example is having mutable default function arguments, which get
shared between every call to the function and therefore mutating a value
in one place can unexpectedly cause it to change in another.
This commit enables all the extra warnings provided by Flake8 Bugbear,
except for:
- the line length one (because we already lint for that separately)
- B903 Data class should either be immutable or use `__slots__` because
this seems to false-positive on some of our custom exceptions
- B902 Invalid first argument 'cls' used for instance method because
some SQLAlchemy decorators (eg `declared_attr`) make things that
aren’t formally class methods take a class not an instance as their
first argument
It disables:
- _B306: BaseException.message is removed in Python 3_ because I think
our exceptions have a custom structure that means the `.message`
attribute is still present
Matches the work done in other repos:
- https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-admin/pull/3172/files
This done so that we do not use statsd on our http endpoint.
We decided we do not need metrics that this gave us. If we
change our minds, we will add Prometheus-friendly decorators
instead in the future.
* it doesn't delete service email reply to or letter contacts, or
contact lists. I don't think the contact lists will ever be an issue
but it doesn't hurt to add it to the list of things to remove.
* it doesn't remove users from organisations before deleting the users
there may be more tables that link to Service that should be deleted,
but for now just add these ones that I could spot.
This will switch on this feature for new services.
After this we will:
- give existing services this permission with a database migration
- remove this permission from the codebase entirely so that everyone has
this feature and can’t switch it off
and update it when users have to use their email to interact with
Notify service.
Initial population:
If user has email_auth, set last_validated_at to logged_in_at.
If user has sms_auth, set it to created_at.
Then:
Update email_access_valdiated_at date when:
- user with email_auth logs in
- new user is created
- user resets password when logged out, meaning we send them an
email with a link they have to click to reset their password.
