- SES/AWS JSON is horrible and not valid.
- JSON in tests did not test accurately what it looked like in reality
- Using very odd looking bytes/strings as input into API which is more accurate
If a service is in restricted mode then a user can’t send messages to anyone
other than themselves and members of their team. To do this the API has to
compare the numbers they are sending to with those of their team members.
It will (falsely) say the numbers do not match if they are in a different
format, eg 07700 900849 vs +447700900849
This commit uses the code we use elsewhere for formatting phone numbers to
make sure that both numbers are in a consistent format before doing a
comparison.
I have a strong preference for doing it this way, rather than formatting numbers
before we store them:
1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robustness_principle
2. It’s confusing to a user to see their own phone number formatted in a
different way to that which they entered it, and the alternative, storing
the phone number in two different formats is grim
- SES sends a reference to allow us to identify the notification
- use this to update status
If source of email is one of our internal emails (invites or validations) - don't try and update a notification.
- client updated to raise errors with fire text error codes/messages
New endpoint
- /notifications/sms/firetext
For delivery notifications to be sent to.
- If a job starts it MUST be able to fit into the days sending limits
- So if service limit is 10, and we've sent 5 messages and the current job is 4 then it's OK.
- If the job is 6 then it's over the limit and it should fail
- Job should NOT start if can't complete in the limit
- rate limiting is a hard number per day
- not limited in terms of rate of request
- limit is a single number held against the service
- every notification counts against the limit, regardless of type
- return a 429 if limit exceeded.
Currently when the Celery task processes a CSV it will call the API with the
values for all the non-recipient columns in the `personalisation` field. This
means that those API calls would fail, even though the CSV has been processed
‘successfully’.
This was not being caught by the tests, so this commit adds extra tests to check
what data the task is passing to the API call.
It then updates utils to version 2.0.1 which brings in this fix:
https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-utils/pull/10
- to capture the counts of things that we do
- initial commit captures when we create an email or sms
DOES NOT know about ultimate success only that we asked our partners to ship the notification
Requires some updates when we retry sending in event of error.
This uses the `format_phone_number` method from utils to output phone numbers
in a consistent format. It is added to the schemas, so will be applied before
the API tries to do anything with a provided phone number.
So now the API will accept any of the following:
- 07123456789
- 07123 456789
- 07123-456-789
- 00447123456789
- 00 44 7123456789
- +447123456789
- +44 7123 456 789
- +44 (0)7123 456 789
…but the API will always hand off phone numbers to 3rd party APIs in the format
- +447123456789
The test for this is slightly convoluted, because template IDs are still
database IDs, and can’t consistently be mocked, therefore we have to ignore that
part of the call to `encrypt()`.
