This deletes a big ol' chunk of code related to letters. It's not everything—there are still a few things that might be tied to sms/email—but it's the the heart of letters function. SMS and email function should be untouched by this.
Areas affected:
- Things obviously about letters
- PDF tasks, used for precompiling letters
- Virus scanning, used for those PDFs
- FTP, used to send letters to the printer
- Postage stuff
* notify_db fixture creates the database connection and ensures the test
db exists and has migrations applied etc. It will run once per session
(test run).
* notify_db_session fixture runs after your test finishes and deletes
all non static (eg type table) data.
In unit tests that hit the database (ie: most of them), 99% of the time
we will need to use notify_db_session to ensure everything is reset. The
only time we don't need to use it is when we're querying things such as
"ensure get X works when database is empty". This is such a low
percentage of tests that it's easier for us to just use
notify_db_session every time, and ensure that all our tests run much
more consistently, at the cost of a small bit of performance when
running tests.
We used to use notify_db to access the session object for manually
adding, committing, etc. To dissuade usage of that fixture I've moved
that to the `notify_db_session`. I've then removed all uses of notify_db
that I could find in the codebase.
As a note, if you're writing a test that uses a `sample_x` fixture, all
of those fixtures rely on notify_db_session so you'll get the teardown
functionality for free. If you're just calling eg `create_x` db.py
functions, then you'll need to make you add notify_db_session fixture to
your test, even if you aren't manually accessing the session.
Last year we had an issue with the daily limit cache and the query that was populating it. As a result we have not been checking the daily limit properly. This PR should correct all that.
The daily limit cache is not being incremented in app.notifications.process_notifications.persist_notification, this method is and should always be the only method used to create a notification.
We increment the daily limit cache is redis is enabled (and it is always enabled for production) and the key type for the notification is team or normal.
We check if the daily limit is exceed in many places:
- app.celery.tasks.process_job
- app.v2.notifications.post_notifications.post_notification
- app.v2.notifications.post_notifications.post_precompiled_letter_notification
- app.service.send_notification.send_one_off_notification
- app.service.send_notification.send_pdf_letter_notification
If the daily limits cache is not found, set the cache to 0 with an expiry of 24 hours. The daily limit cache key is service_id-yyy-mm-dd-count, so each day a new cache is created.
The best thing about this PR is that the app.service_dao.fetch_todays_total_message_count query has been removed. This query was not performant and had been wrong for ages.
Flake8 Bugbear checks for some extra things that aren’t code style
errors, but are likely to introduce bugs or unexpected behaviour. A
good example is having mutable default function arguments, which get
shared between every call to the function and therefore mutating a value
in one place can unexpectedly cause it to change in another.
This commit enables all the extra warnings provided by Flake8 Bugbear,
except for:
- the line length one (because we already lint for that separately)
- B903 Data class should either be immutable or use `__slots__` because
this seems to false-positive on some of our custom exceptions
- B902 Invalid first argument 'cls' used for instance method because
some SQLAlchemy decorators (eg `declared_attr`) make things that
aren’t formally class methods take a class not an instance as their
first argument
It disables:
- _B306: BaseException.message is removed in Python 3_ because I think
our exceptions have a custom structure that means the `.message`
attribute is still present

Years ago we started to implement a way to schedule a notification. We hit a problem but we never came up with a good solution and the feature never made it back to the top of the priority list.
This PR removes the code for scheduled_for. There will be another PR to drop the scheduled_notifications table and remove the schedule_notifications service permission
Unfortunately, I don't think we can remove the `scheduled_for` attribute from the notification.serialized method because out clients might fail if something is missing. For now I have left it in but defaulted the value to None.
This commit changes the code in post notification endpoint to handle a
serialised template (ie a `dict`) rather than a database object.
This is the first step towards being able to cache the template and not
hit the database on every request.
There should be no functional changes here, it’s just refactoring.
There are some changes to the tests where the signature of functions
has changed.
Importing of the template schema has to be done at a function level,
otherwise Marshmallow gets weird.
This commit also copies the `JSONModel` class from the admin app, which
turns serialised data (a dict made from JSON) into an object on which
certain predefined properties are allowed.
This means we can still do the caching of serialised data, without
having to change too much of the code in the app, or make it ugly by
sprinkling dict lookups everywhere.
We’re not copying all of JSONModel from the admin app, just the bits we
need. We don’t need to compare or hash these objects, they’re just used
for lookups. And redefining `__getattribute__` scares Leo.
We were checking this separately in two places in the code. Now
we will have this logic in one place, in validators.
Also pull in utils version that recognises crown depenency numbers
as international.
Code that is within a `with Python.raises(...)` context manager but
comes after the line that raises the exception doesn't get evaluated.
We had some assertions that we never being tested because of this, so
this ensures that they will always get run and fixes them where
necessary.
This commit modifies the code paths the admin app uses to send one off
emails and text messages to also accept letters.
This mostly worked already, the two changes were:
- making sure that one-off letters are processed by the correct task,
from the correct queue
- one-off letters sent from a service in research mode don’t get put on
a queue and go straight to `delivered` (because we don’t want to send
them for real)
The command takes a service id and a day, grabs the historical data for
that day (potentially out of notification_history), and pops it in
redis (for eight days, same as if it were written to manually).
also, prefix template usage key with "service" to make clear that it's
a service id, and not an individual template id.
We've run into issues with redis expiring keys while we try and write
to them - short lived redis TTLs aren't really sustainable for keys
where we mutate the state. Template usage is a hash contained in redis
where we increment a count keyed by template_id each time a message is
sent for that template. But if the key expires, hincrby (redis command
for incrementing a value in a hash) will re-create an empty hash.
This is no good, as we need the hash to be populated with the last
seven days worth of data, which we then increment further. We can't
tell whether the hincrby created the key, so a different approach
entirely was needed:
* New redis key: <service_id>-template-usage-<YYYY-MM-DD>. Note: This
YYYY-MM-DD is BTC time so it lines up nicely with ft_billing table
* Incremented to from process_notification - if it doesn't exist yet,
it'll be created then.
* Expiry set to 8 days every time it's incremented to.
Then, at read time, we'll just read the last eight days of keys from
Redis, and sum them up. This works because we're only ever incrementing
from that one place - never setting wholesale, never recreating the
data from scratch. So we know that if the data is in redis, then it is
good and accurate data.
One thing we *don't* know and *cannot* reason about is what no key in
redis means. It could be either of:
* This is the first message that the service has sent today.
* The key was deleted from redis for some reason.
Since we set the TTL to so long, we'll never be writing to a key that
previously expired. But if there is a redis (or operator) error and the
key is deleted, then we'll have bad data - after any data loss we'll
have to rebuild the data.
when functions get as big as that, it's confusing to try and work out what
things are what. By including a * as the first arg, we require that anyone
calling the function has to use kwargs to reference the parameters
