- uses new utils methods to validate phone numbers
- defaults to International=True on validation. This ensures the validator works on all numbers
- Then check if the user can send this message to the number internationally if needed.
- uses the reference field on the notifications table to store a 16char random string used to cross reference DVLA letters back to the notification
- used as letter barcode does not have space for a UUID notification id
Depends on https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-utils/pull/149
Renamed the numeric_id to notification_reference in utils and changed validation rules to match this
Note also the persist_notification method set "reference" to be "client_reference" which is confusing and they are different things, so fixed this too.
This is being done for the PaaS migration to allow us to keep traffic coming in whilst we migrate the database.
uses the same tasks as the CSV uploaded notifications. Simple changes to not persist the notification, and call into a different task.

Cache expires every 10 minutes, but will help with the every 2 second query, especially when a job is running.
There is some clean up and qa to do for this yet
- Added the `simulate` notification logic to version 2. We have 3 email addresses and phone numbers that are used
to simulate a successful post to /notifications. This was missed out of the version 2 endpoint.
- Added a test to template_dao to check for the default value of normal for new templates
- in v2 get_notifications, casted the path param to a uuid, if not uuid abort(404)
- note this is an unexpectedly big change.
- When we create a service we pass the service id to the persist method. This means that we don't have the service available to check if in research mode.
- All calling methods (expecting the one where we use the notify service) have the service available. So rather than reload it I changed the method signature to pass the service, not the ID to persist.
- Touches a few places.
Note this means that the update or create methods will fall over on a null service. But this seems correct.
Goes back to the story which we need to play to make the service available as the API user so that the need to load and pass around services is minimised.
In this PR the id for the notification is passed in and used to created the notification, which causes a integrity error.
Normally when we get a SQLAlchemy error here we send the message to the retry queue, but if the notification already exists
we just ignore it.
Added some tests to the test_post_notifications.
Added a errorhandler for AuthErrors.
This endpoint is not being used anywhere, however there is some common code being used in the v1 post endpoint. The only thing that may be affected is the error response, hopefully they are the same.
- It would be nice to refactor the send_sms and send_email tasks to use these common functions as well, that way I can get rid of the new Notifications.from_v2_api_request method.
- Still not happy with the format of the errors. Would like to find a happy place, where the message is descript enough that we do not need external documentation to explain the error. Perhaps we still only need documentation to explain the trial mode concept.
- Use these validation methods in post_sms_notification and the version 1 of post_notification.
- Create a v2 error handlers.
- InvalidRequest has a to_dict method for private and v1 error responses and a to_dict_v2 method to create the v2 of the error responses.
- Each validation method has extensive unit tests, so the unit test for the endpoint do not need to check every error case, but check that the error handle formats the message correctly.
- The format of the error messages is still a work on progress.
- This version of the api could be deployed without causing a problem to the application.
- The new endpoing is still a work in progress and is not being used yet.
Start building up the validators required for post notificaiton.
The app/v2/errors.py is a rough sketch, will be passed a code, the error can look up the message and link for the error message.
