- uses the reference field on the notifications table to store a 16char random string used to cross reference DVLA letters back to the notification
- used as letter barcode does not have space for a UUID notification id
Depends on https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-utils/pull/149
Renamed the numeric_id to notification_reference in utils and changed validation rules to match this
Note also the persist_notification method set "reference" to be "client_reference" which is confusing and they are different things, so fixed this too.
Brings in:
- [ ] https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-utils/pull/135
Also adds extra tests for:
- the exact issue that we saw in production when #867 was deployed
- what happens when `None` is passed as a placeholder value, because
this should never get as far as the relevant bit of utils
This is being done for the PaaS migration to allow us to keep traffic coming in whilst we migrate the database.
uses the same tasks as the CSV uploaded notifications. Simple changes to not persist the notification, and call into a different task.
There are three authentication methods:
- requires_no_auth - public endpoint that does not require an Authorisation header
- requires_auth - public endpoints that need an API key in the Authorisation header
- requires_admin_auth - private endpoint that requires an Authorisation header which contains the API key for the defined as the client admin user

Cache expires every 10 minutes, but will help with the every 2 second query, especially when a job is running.
There is some clean up and qa to do for this yet
This PR changes the response to POST /notifications/sms/<mmg | firetext> from a 400 response to a 200 response.
If we get a callback for a notification more than once or for a notification we log that but we return a 200 success response to the provider.
We have found that there is a situation where the send to provider throws a timeout exception but the provider did get the message, but we still send it to them again.
In which case they send the message twice, and callback for the message twice.
Another case where we may get duplicate callbacks is that the network gave the provider two callbacks meaning they pass those two callbacks onto us.
So it is really difficult to know if we sent to the provider twice or just got two callbacks.
The test_callback has many changes because I took the opportunity to use the client conftest fixture rather than the notify_api fixture.
The only 2 tests really changed are test_mmg_callback_returns_200_when_notification_id_not_found_or_already_updated and test_firetext_callback_returns_200_when_notification_id_not_found_or_already_updated
We are using the notify queue in this iteration because that queue is a low volume queue with it's own dedicated workers. This just saves us from building a new queue at this point, and a new queue may not be necessary.
- Added the `simulate` notification logic to version 2. We have 3 email addresses and phone numbers that are used
to simulate a successful post to /notifications. This was missed out of the version 2 endpoint.
- Added a test to template_dao to check for the default value of normal for new templates
- in v2 get_notifications, casted the path param to a uuid, if not uuid abort(404)
If the template is marked as priority the notification will be sent using the `notify` queue.
The `notify` queue is a low volume queue, messages here will not be queue behind a large job and should be delivered with in a more consistent time frame.
- Added templates.process_type and templates_history.process_type column.
- Added a template_process_type table to handle the enum for templates.process_type, initial values are normal and priority

note that all of these tests have to be checked to ensure that they
still call through to notify_db_session (notify_db not required) to
tear down the database after the test runs - since it's no longer
required to pass it in to the function just to invoke the sample_user
function
brings in a fix to InvalidEmail/Phone/AddressExceptions not being
instantiated correctly. `exception.message` is not a python standard,
so we shouldn't be relying on it to transmit exception reasons -
rather we should be using `str(exception)` instead. This involved a
handful of small changes to the schema validation
- note this is an unexpectedly big change.
- When we create a service we pass the service id to the persist method. This means that we don't have the service available to check if in research mode.
- All calling methods (expecting the one where we use the notify service) have the service available. So rather than reload it I changed the method signature to pass the service, not the ID to persist.
- Touches a few places.
Note this means that the update or create methods will fall over on a null service. But this seems correct.
Goes back to the story which we need to play to make the service available as the API user so that the need to load and pass around services is minimised.
- Problem was that on notification creation we pass the template ID not the template onto the new notification object
- We then set the history object from this notification object by copying all the fields. This is OK at this point.
- We then set the relationship on the history object based on the template, which we haven't passed in. We only passed the ID. This means that SQLAlchemy nulls the relationship, removing the template_id.
- Later we update the history row when we send the message, this fixes the data. BUT if we ever have a send error, then this never happens and the template is never set on the history table.
Fix:
Set only the template ID when creating the history object.
This makes this test a couple of seconds faster - 0.7s instead of 2.5s for me
locally. sample_notification also creates a service, template, user and
permissions, but we don't need any of these objects to exist in the database
for this test. It's particularly helpful for this test because there are so
many parameterized cases. Thanks @leohemsted for suggesting doing this here.
This PR fixes that and adds a test for it.
I am confused as to why I had to change the test_validators test that is checking if the mock is called.
Why did this code pass on preview?
In this PR the id for the notification is passed in and used to created the notification, which causes a integrity error.
Normally when we get a SQLAlchemy error here we send the message to the retry queue, but if the notification already exists
we just ignore it.
