Previously research mode created a task to fake the callback from the providers. This meant there is an extra task for each notification than would be generated in a live situation.
This PR changes that, so that a research mode/test key notification calls the callback API rather than make a task to do that .
This ensures that the flow for research mode more closely mimics that of live, and removes a task from the process so we can more accurately test throughput,
Right now we strip HTML from templates at the point of saving them. This
also converts stuff like ampersands to their entity form (eg &) and
this is what we save in the database.
This is a bad idea when you’re sending a text message or a letter, in
which an HTML entity makes no sense. But we still need to encode HTML in
the body of HTML emails.
The right place to do this is when rendering the templates. The code to
do this is now in utils. So this commit:
- pull in this new utils code
- removes the old
- adds some integration tests to make sure that everything is working
as expected (more thorough unit tests are happening in utils)
cloudfront caching isn't set up on those environments yet, so continue
to use flask for now - in the future we'll want to revert this once
those environments are up and running properly
branding in emails was previously hosted from admin app - this changes
the url to be static.{domain}/images instead of {domain}/static/images,
which redirects to cloudfront.
some manipulation of the URL was required to make sure it still serves
locally rather than returning "static.localhost:6012" for example.
(if ADMIN_BASE_URL is localhost it just returns the old /static/
path)
also was able to remove DB interaction from a test. woo!
* Ensure we dont raise exception if e.cause does not contain a message
* Ensure we handle case where e.path may be empty
* Refactor existing tests to conform to new format
- this allows us to send a notification to a provider by means of an API call
- This is in addition to the celery code.
- idea is that we can use this method to help speed up throughput by generating API traffic by node/lambda etc to supplement the celery code in times of high load.
- Driven by the fact we won't know the type in the API call
- hence we need to load notification earlier , so pass it not the id through to the send task to avoid loading it twice.
- Aim to move the code that contacts providers into it's own module.
- Celery tasks now call this module to send to provider
- No exceptions caught in the new module. Celery tasks now use any exception to trigger a retry.
- tests moved about - new test directory for the new class, all tests from celery test module moved, excepting the retry logic.
