The vast majority of messages that are being sent one-off are
time-sensitive. A typical example is a caseworker on the phone who sends
a message at the end of the call. They normally wait until the message
has been delivered, so all the time they’re waiting is time when they
can’t be helping someone else.
What we don’t want to happen is for the messages they’re sending to get
stuck behind a big lump of GOV.UK Subscription emails or passport
reminder texts. I think the best way to do this is shift them onto the
priority queue.
We’re currently seeing queue sizes of up to 5,000 on the ‘normal’
queues; I don’t think there’s any risk of this change making the
priority queue more heavily-laden than this. Especially since the
traffic patterns of users sending one-off messages won’t be spiky.
Postcodes are required for created letters, but not for precompiled, this fix allows postcodes to be None in the model.
As postcodes are still required for created letter they should be caught by validation schemas in the POST handler
Filtering out hidden templates requires all existing templates to
have `hidden` flag set, which can only be done by a migration after
the code that sets the flag to `False` by default for new templates
has been released.
This removes the filtering logic until the migration has been released.
Pre-compiled letter endpoint uploads PDF contents to S3 directly
instead of creating a letter task to generate PDF using template
preview.
This moves some of the utility functions used by existing letter
celery tasks to app.letters.utils, so that they can be reused by
the API endpoint.
The Notify team needs to investigate when a notification is marked as failed.
We will process the whole file and mark the notifications with the appropriate status, if any are failed an exception is raised.
The exception will trigger a cloud watch error for the team to investigate.
When creating or updating an organisation an itegrity error is raise if the name is already used.
This change adds a new error handler for the organisation to catch the named unique index and return a 400 with a sensible message.
We have an other error handler for unique service names which was caught in the error handler for all blueprints. A new error handler for the service_blueprint has been created for catch those specific unique constraints.
This is a nice way to encapulate the specific errors for a specific blueprint.
notifications-admin has now been changed to always pass the service_id
to the 'service/unique' endpoint. This means we don't need to cover the
case of there being no service_id and the tests can also be updated.
Switched to using a isinstance check on the string.
Added an order by clause to dao_get_template_usage_stats_by_service, it was causing an itermitten failure in the tests.
If the organisation name that is being inserted or updated is not unique we just want to return a 400 to the admin app.
Updated the code so that we are not logging.exception, this is because a cloud watch alert is set to the support team. This type of error is not something we need to investigate.
Changed the '/service/unique' endpoint to optionally accept the
service_id parameter. It now doesn't matter if a user tries to change
the capitalization or add punctuation to their own service name. But
there should still be an error if a user tries to change the punctuation
or capitalization of another service.
service_id needs to be allowed to be None until notifications-admin is
updated to always pass in the service_id.
as it failed on prodction and I managed to get it to fail locally
{'file_location': '2018-02-12/NOTIFY.FOO.D.2.C.N.20180212164427.PDF'}
!= {'file_location': '2018-02-12/NOTIFY.FOO.D.2.C.N.20180212164428.PDF'}
A freeze time till ensure that the finame which is based on the time
will not fail.
