When the start_date and end_date query argruments exists in the request,
the query will return the results from the NotificationHistory table for the given date range.
We will need to check the performance of this query, but this will only be used by the platform admin page.
- 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.
this is so that the filtering, which we do on the admin side, is applied
before pagination - so that the pages returned are all valid displayable
jobs. unfortunately this means that another config value has to be copied
to the server side but it's not the end of the world
- uses 4 rather than 8 entries to test the sort (2 notifications × 2
columns on which we’re sorting)
- makes sure we test for when a scheduled job was created before a job
that’s been processed already
- removes any relative datetimes so the tests are independant of
database speed
Say you have a dashboard with some jobs you sent. Normally looks like:
job | sent
--- | ---
file.csv | **5pm**
file.csv | 3pm
file.csv | 1pm
file.csv | 11am
However if your 5pm job was scheduled at lunchtime, then it will look
like this:
job | sent
--- | ---
file.csv | 3pm
file.csv | 1pm
file.csv | **5pm**
file.csv | 11am
This is because the jobs are sorted by when they were created, not when
they were sent. It looks wrong.
**For jobs that have already been sent**
This commit changes the sort order to be based on `processed_at`
instead.
**For upcoming jobs**
If a job doesn’t have a `processed_at` time then it’s scheduled, but
hasn’t started yet. Only in this case should we still be sorting by
`created_at`.
April 1st is in British summer time, ie 1hr ahead of UTC. The database
stores everything in UTC, so for accurate comparisions we need to make
sure that `get_financial_year()` returns a UTC, datetime-aware
timestamp that is 1hr ahead of midnight.
This also means that when we group notifications by month, the months
need to be in BST. So the line between one year and another is actually
01:00 on April 1st, _not_ 00:00 on April 1st.
There’s no way we’ve found to do this in SQLAlchemy or raw Postgres,
especially because we don’t store the timestamps with a timezone in the
database.
So the grouping and summing of the notifications has to be done in
Python.
In order to invoice people we need to know how many text message
fragments they’ve sent per month.
This should be per (government) financial year, ie April 1st to April
1st because we’ll only ever show a page for one year (because the
250,000 allowance is topped up at the start of every financial year).
This commit only does the DAO bit, not the REST bit.
Refactored send_notifications method so that it is more readible.
Refectored the test_send_notificaitons so that it uses parametrized test to avoid duplication.
Developers need visibility of what their integration is doing within
the app. This includes notifications sent with a test key.
This commit adds an optional, defaults-to-false parameter to include
notifications sent from a test API key when getting notifications.
- get all notifications by service
- template usage
- most recently used templates
Ensures that the dashboard shows no test key data. Supplements: https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-api/pull/677 which excludes CSV data. This branches from that so is dependant.
