Use .format instead of concatenation to avoid type issues
Trying to concatenate uuid onto a string was throwing an error.
Also it is not possible to use uuid in parametrize statements
it seems as it messes up with running tests on multiple threads
sms and emails have a very predictable 72 hour lifecycle. letters, on
the other hand, have ridiculously complex lifecycles - they might not
get sent because it's a weekend, they might not get sent because they're
second class and are only processed on alternate days, they might not
get sent because a different letter in the same batch had an error that
we didn't know about. Either way, it's apparent that four days is
definitely not enough time to guarantee that letters have gone from
sending to delivered.
Extend the amount of days we process for letters to 10 days. Keep emails
and sms down at 4 to keep run-times shorter
We're deliberately not thinking about returned letters here at all.
it makes less sense once we introduce different start dates for letters
and emails. Also, we never use it, since we just call the day tasks
ourselves from commands.py
the nightly task won't be affected, it'll just trigger three times more
sub-tasks.
this doesn't need to be a two-part deploy because we only trigger this
overnight, so as long as the deploy completes in daytime we don't need
to worry about celery task signatures
it's not acceptable for a constantly failing provider to take 50 minutes
to drain (5x reducing priority by 10). But similarly, we need _some_
delay, or a handful of concurrent failures will completely turn off a
provider, rendering the whole excercise kinda pointless. Setting the
delay before it tries to reduce priority again to one minute is nice
because it means that if one request times out and returns 502, then any
other requests that are in flight at that time will time out before the
one minute is up and not switch, but any requests made after the switch
that take sixty seconds to time out will affect it.
it now looks at both providers and works out whether to deprioritise
one, rather than binary switching from one to the other. If anything
has altered the priorities in the last ten minutes it won't take any
action. If both providers are slow it also won't take any action.
the function no longer makes sense now that we send through both at
the same time. mostly just used in old tests that we'll end up rewriting
shortly anyway
retrive the sms providers from the DB, and decrease the chosen
provider's priority by 10, while increasing the other by 10.
add a check in to ensure we never decrease below 0 or increase above 100
- this is per provider, we don't check that the two add up to 100 or
anything. If the values are outside of this range (eg: set via the UI)
then they'll probably* fix themselves at some point - we've added tests
to document these cases.
Use with_for_update to ensure that the method can only run once at a
time - other invocations of the function will be held on that line until
the currently running one ends and commits the transaction. This doesn't
affect anyone doing things from the UI.
There is a chance that the there is an outstanding retry task that has yet to run but the task that are replayed here protect against the task running twice. So this just means it might get sent sooner than later.
The assumption was that S3 would throw an exception if the object was uploaded twice. That's not the case the default behaviour is that if a file already exists it will be overwritten. So it is completely safe to run the task from the alert.
It can also mean that we don't need to wait 4hours 15 minutes. Shall I decease the amount of time before restarting the task?
When we upload a CSV for a job, we add the sender_id as metadata to the file that is uploaded on S3.
There is more than one place where we process rows from that CSV.
- process_job
- scheduled_job
- check_for_missing_rows_in_completed_jobs
- check_job_status
All of these places need to use the sender_id, now the sender_id is always read from the file metadata.
In a subsequent PR we can remove the optional sender_id parameter from process_job task.
Sometimes a job finishes but has missed a row in the middle. It is a mystery why this is happening, it could be that the task to save the notifications has been dropped.
So until we solve the missing let's find missing rows and process them.
A new scheduled task has been added to find any "finished" jobs that do not have enough notifications created. If there are missing notifications the job processes those rows for the job.
Adding the new task to beat schedule will be done in the next commit.
A unique key constraint has been added to Notifications to ensure that the row is not added twice. Any index or constraint can affect performance, but this unique constraint should not affect it enough for us to notice.
We want to pass the `request_id` to Celery tasks if the task is called
from an HTTP request, so that we can add the `request_id` to the logs.
This change overwrites `apply_async` to add the `request_id` to the
kwargs if available. When we call the task, we then add the `request_id`
to g on Flask's application context.
Tasks called from `send_task` won't have a `request_id` for now, and
this change only affects tasks called from HTTP requests (not from other
tasks or from Celery Beat).
This has been moved to the letters utils file since it will be used in
more than one place. The notification parameter has been removed so that
the function can be used when we don't have a notification id.
previously, we didn't create templated letters, and just marked them as
delivered straight away. However, we may need to return PDFs for these
letters, so we should create them the same as live letters. Then update
the functions so that they know where to look for these letters.
the nightly tasks need to run after the create nightly notification
status task - so that test notifications are still there to record
stats for, and to stop the risk of deleting notificaitons part-way
through recording stats for them.
