We are formatting the postcode here, because if we did it in template
preview, that could break flows like API and admin one-off, since
we are not validating postcode there yet, and format_postcode
needs a nice validated postcode.
We are not doing it in admin, as then we would have to either
rewrite the CSV file or pass data differently to API. First would
be nasty, second is a lot of overhead.
In the long run we might want to move postcode formatting to
template preview so that the postcode in letter preview looks the same
before and after user sends it, but now to get it out quickly it's better
to format the postcode here in the task.
- Table to store meta data for the emergency contact list for a service.
- Endpoint for fetching contact lists for service
- Endpoint for saving contact list for service.
The list will be stored in S3. The service will then be able to send emergency announcements to staff.
https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-api/pull/2742/files#diff-d9a6761afaff4a491e60b64f6063654fL265
introduced a change in behaviour which causes template preview to 500
for a precompiled letter that is invalid but not because the content is
outside the printable area.
The changes it back to the previous behaviour, where we b64encode and
utf-8 decode for a page that is invalid for reasons that are not content
outside the printable area, for example a non portrait a4 letter.
I didn't end up writing a unit test for this because I really can't
figure out the existing behaviour we expect for this use case. This
method is too big and complex but I'm confident by looking at the change
in the commit mentioned above that this puts behaviour back to how it
was. Manual testing also confirms the fix.
I've also taken this opportunity to improve two test names whilst I was
looking at things.
- update check_sms_content_char_count to use the SMSTemplate.is_message_too_long function, and updated the error message to align with the message returned by the admin app.
- Update the the code used by version 1 of the api to use the validate_template method.
- I did find a couple of services still using the old api, however, this change should not affect them as I checked the messages being sent and they are not too long.
- We will be sending a message to them to see if they can upgrade.
- Update the log message for authenication to include the URL - makes it easier to track if a service is using version 1 of the api.
If the png page is invalid then show the overlay for that page
If the png page is not invalid, even if other pages are invalid, then
don't shown the overlay for that page
These keeps the behaviour were if you get the pdf for a pdf which has
invalid pages then the whole PDF is requested (not just a single page)
and all of the pages include the overlay
Tests have been improved to be more explicit about what we are testing
If you have some returned letters, but none in the last 7 days, we don’t
count how many you have in the last 7 days. But we should test to make
sure we’re not going to the database again.
We want to start granting access to the org page. But it will be a bit
weird if the invites come from us personally, since the people we’re
inviting don’t know us.
It makes more sense, and sounds more official if the invites appear to
come from the ‘GOV.UK Notify team’ instead.
Currently the dashboard in the admin app pull the entire returned letter
summary for a service to calculate how many letters have been returned
in the last seven days.
Adding a separate endpoint for this purpose is better because:
- it’s a more efficient query
- it’s less data to send down the pipe
- it gives us a place to return the complete datetime, so the dashboard
can be more precise about when the most recent report was
Soon enough every service will have this permission, and they won’t be
able to switch it off. So we should clean up our codebase and make it
so there’s no dependancy on a row existing in the permissions table.
This is the first step of that process for the API. Before we can remove
it, we have to stop checking from it. Next step will be to stop
inserting the permission, then finally remove it from the database.
If your caseworking system always spits out files with the same name it
will be hard to differentiate them when looking at the uploads page.
Seeing who the letter was sent to will help you differentiate them.
We can’t do this until the API returns the recipient.
This is so we can display letter jobs in a different way on the admin
app (because it doesn’t make sense for them to have failed/delivered
counts like it does for email and text message jobs).
As elsewhere we use `fields.Method` to avoid serializing the whole
template object.
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
This endpoint may need to change, but we'd like to see how this performs, so we'll test this with a real data set. Then come back to make sure the format is correct and check for missing tests for the endpoint,
