Before the search term was either:
- an email address (or partial email address)
- a phone number (or partial phone number)
Now it can also be:
- a reference (or partial reference)
We can take a pretty good guess, by looking at the search term, whether
the thing the user is searching by email address or phone number. This
helps us:
- only show relevant notifications
- normalise the search term to give the best chance of matching what we
store in the `normalised_to` field
However we can’t look at a search term and guess whether it’s a
reference, because a reference could take any format. Therefore if the
user hasn’t told us what kind of thing their search term is, we should
stop trying to guess.
We have a team who want to find emails that might have been sent to an
incorrect address. Therefore they can’t search by the correct address,
because it won’t match.
What they do have is the reference number of the user’s application,
which is also stored in the `client_reference` field on the
notification.
So when a user is searching we should also look at the client reference,
as well as the recipient, allowing the user to enter either in the
search box.
we generally aim to share the load between the two providers equally
(more or less). When one provider has struggled, we deprioritise them,
this commit adds a function that gradually restores balance. It checks
every five minutes, if it's been more than an hour since the providers
were last changed then it adjusts them towards a 50/50 split. Except
it's not quite 50/50 due to #reasons (we want to slightly favour MMG),
it's actually 60/40. That's defined in a new dict in config.py.
log lines didn't make sense because the arguments were the wrong way
round.
As an experiment to try and clean up some of our code a bit, this commit
adds f-strings. f-strings were added in python 3.6, as a way to clean
up, simplify, and improve the performance of `str.format`.
Use .format instead of concatenation to avoid type issues
Trying to concatenate uuid onto a string was throwing an error.
Also it is not possible to use uuid in parametrize statements
it seems as it messes up with running tests on multiple threads
SMS and emails may be marked as `NOTIFICATION_PENDING`. These will be
billed as they will have been sent to the provider and will eventually
turn to a final state such as `NOTIFICATION_DELIVERED` or
`NOTIFICATION_PERMANENT_FAILURE`.
This change will fix a discrepency on the billing page were the number
of messages being billed was less than the number of messages reported
as sent on a services dashboard when some of those messages were in a
pending state.
In reality, I don't think this bug would have had any longer affects for
incorrect billing as messages would not stay in the pending state for
too long and billing calculations would happen after that point.
sms and emails have a very predictable 72 hour lifecycle. letters, on
the other hand, have ridiculously complex lifecycles - they might not
get sent because it's a weekend, they might not get sent because they're
second class and are only processed on alternate days, they might not
get sent because a different letter in the same batch had an error that
we didn't know about. Either way, it's apparent that four days is
definitely not enough time to guarantee that letters have gone from
sending to delivered.
Extend the amount of days we process for letters to 10 days. Keep emails
and sms down at 4 to keep run-times shorter
We're deliberately not thinking about returned letters here at all.
it makes less sense once we introduce different start dates for letters
and emails. Also, we never use it, since we just call the day tasks
ourselves from commands.py
It is likely this endppoint will need additional data for the UI to display, for the first iteration this will enable the /uploads page to show both letters and jobs. Only letter uploaded by the UI are included in the resultset.
Add file name to resultset.
the nightly task won't be affected, it'll just trigger three times more
sub-tasks.
this doesn't need to be a two-part deploy because we only trigger this
overnight, so as long as the deploy completes in daytime we don't need
to worry about celery task signatures
these URLs never change, and it lead to surprising issues where an
updated default MMG_URL wasn't actually respected on PaaS. These urls
aren't private and don't need to be stored in credentials.
By not defining them in the manifest, we expect them to use the default
unless `cf set-env` has been specifically used to modify them in an app.
