this means that any errors will cause the entire thing to roll back
unfortunately, to do this we have to circumvent our regular code, which calls commit a lot, and lazily loads a lot of things, which will flush, and cause the version decorators to fail. so we have to write a lot of stuff by hand and re-select the service (even though it's already been queried) just to populate the api_keys and templates relationship on it
* changed POST to PUT - we are modifiying an already present resource
* improved error handling on PUT
- return 400 if bad
- rollback the delete of the previous whitelist on error
* return 204 if PUT succeeds ( NO CONTENT )
history-meta's dynamic magic is insufficient for templates, where we
need to be able to refer to the specific history table to take
advantage of sqlalchemy's relationship management (2/3rds of an ORM).
So replace it with a custom made version table.
Had to change the version decorator slightly for this
revoking an api key the service it associated with was of course added
to db.session.dirty.
That resulted in an updated version of service being added to the
service history table that showed no visible difference from that
record immediately precending it as the change was to another table,
namely the api_key table. A new api key or revoked api key was correctly
added to api_key and api_key_history tables. However I think an
'unchanged' service history record may be a bit confusing as you'd need
to correlate with api_keys to work out what the change was.
I think it's best to just record the new/revoked api_key and not create
another version of the service.
This pr wraps the exisiting versioned decorator with one that take a
class which you are interested in versioning.
Using the new decorator you only get a new version and history record
for the class you pass to outer decorator.
If the exising behaviour is acceptable to the powers that be then by all
means ignore/close this pr.
adapted to recording inserts and updates.
This removes need to manually create history tables.
Our code still remains in control of when history records are
created.
