The history was not being updated properly, we think this is because the declaritive attribute is not being set propery by the property.
When reply_to: None it will update the service_letter_contact_id, but not the service_letter_contact, we think when the history_meta is build the history class and checking if the value is updated it depends which attribute it is checking first.
In order to fix this issue, there is a new dao method to update the reply_to on the Template and insert a new Template history.
It seems selecting the service_letter_contact in the validation method was causing SQLAlchemy to persist the object. When the dao was called to save the object nothing was different so we didn't persist the history object.
It may be time to take another look at how we version. :(
- Introduce a `_raise` flag for `get_notification_by_id` so that sql alchemy will raise the NoResults error rather than the app
- Refactor `dao_set_created_live_letter_api_notifications_to_pending` to use a join for getting services that don't have `letters_as_pdf` as marginally faster.
refactored billing/rest.py and annual_billing_dao.py to remove logic
from the dao, and simplify the process around creating new rows. Make
sure that the POST always creates (it previously wouldn't create rows
for years that don't already exist). Clean up some tests that were
doing too much set-up/data verification via rest calls rather than
directly inserting test data in to the DB.
- check if service_callback_api exist before putting tasks on queue
- create_service_callback_api in tests before asserting if send_delivery_status_to_service has been called.
- Added the boolean 'crown' column to services and services_history tables
- We populate this column in the same migration script by checking the
'organisation_type' of a service
Removed the REST endpoint and the DAO that it uses as the endpoint is
no longer used by the Admin UI and the DAO is not reused anywhere
else.
- Removed REST endpoint
- Removed DAO which gets the stats
- Removed associated tests of both methods
Currently templates are ordered by the newest created first. This made
sense when, after creating a new template, you were landed on the page
that listed all the templates. In other words, you needed to see
confirmation of the thing that you’ve just done.
Now (since https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-admin/pull/1195)
you get landed on the page for just that template. So you always see
the template you’ve just created, no matter how the list of templates is
ordered. So we are free to change the order of the templates.
Ordering by time created is not great, because it gives users no control
over which templates appear first. For example, our research reported
this from one team:
> One frustration they have is that when you add a new template it
> automatically goes to the top of the list. To get round this, whenever
> they add a new template they delete all of the existing ones and start
> again because they want to keep their templates in numerical order.
> They'd like to be able to control the order of templates in the list.
We _could_ give people some sort of drag-and-drop template ordering
thing. But this feels like overkill. I think that alphabetical order is
better because:
- it’s easily discoverable – anyone who wants to know how a list is
ordered can quickly tell just by looking at it
- it’s universal – everyone knows how alphabetical ordering works
- it’s familiar – this is how people documents on their computer are
ordered; there’s no new UI to learn
- it’s what users are doing already – from the same service as above:
> They number their templates 1,2a, 2b, 3a etc
So this commit changes the ordering from newest created first to
alphabetical.

Implementation notes
---
I refactored some of the tests here. I still don’t think they’re great
tests, but they’re a little more Pythonic now at least.
I also added a sort by template type, so that the order is deterministic
when you have, for example, an email template and a text message
template with the same name. If you have two text message templates with
the same name you’re on your own.
Added a check to ensure that the current date falls in between the
financial year for the year supplied by the method, so that the todays
stats will only be appended in that situation.

The dao_fetch_monthly_historical_usage_by_template_for_service code
wasn't being tested properly due to an bug on the test which created a
notification with the same template and hence was not testing that
a specific service would have a different template id.
- Fixed the bug in the test
- Update services_dao so that the service id check is made
are not returned from queries
- Updated stats_template_usage_by_month_dao.py to return the results for
financial year not calendar, as the report os for FY only and hence
only the FY data is required
- Updated services_dao.py to ensure double precision values are converted
to an int as the 'exact' function returns double precision from the
database query, as the admin code requires the value for month to be an
int
The check for aggregation was too broad and hence was adding together
totals based on template_id and not the unqiue combination of
template id, month and year.
- Added test to test for the failure
- Added check and a test to for template_id, mon and year matches
- Celery process name did not match the task
The template name should be returned for the response and the user will
pick a year, so ths adds those two features to the
notifications/templates_usage/monthly endpoint and added some tests to
test the functionality.
