Added some tests to the test_post_notifications.
Added a errorhandler for AuthErrors.
This endpoint is not being used anywhere, however there is some common code being used in the v1 post endpoint. The only thing that may be affected is the error response, hopefully they are the same.
- It would be nice to refactor the send_sms and send_email tasks to use these common functions as well, that way I can get rid of the new Notifications.from_v2_api_request method.
- Still not happy with the format of the errors. Would like to find a happy place, where the message is descript enough that we do not need external documentation to explain the error. Perhaps we still only need documentation to explain the trial mode concept.
- Use these validation methods in post_sms_notification and the version 1 of post_notification.
- Create a v2 error handlers.
- InvalidRequest has a to_dict method for private and v1 error responses and a to_dict_v2 method to create the v2 of the error responses.
- Each validation method has extensive unit tests, so the unit test for the endpoint do not need to check every error case, but check that the error handle formats the message correctly.
- The format of the error messages is still a work on progress.
- This version of the api could be deployed without causing a problem to the application.
- The new endpoing is still a work in progress and is not being used yet.
Start building up the validators required for post notificaiton.
The app/v2/errors.py is a rough sketch, will be passed a code, the error can look up the message and link for the error message.
when given any log function with multiple parameters, the python logging utils
assume the first param is a format string and the rest are arguments to pass
in - we were passing in the exception object to `logger.exception`, however,
the purpose of .exception is to add the exception object itself - so we didn't
need to
ensure that if unexpected Exceptions are thrown, we handle them correctly
(log and then return JSON)
also remove some branches that will never trip, and combine a couple of
identical functions
we shouldn't try and use statsd to log an error if they fail, for example
[we also shouldn't retry sending the message but that's a problem for another time]
If you want to send a job on Monday morning, you should be able to
schedule it on Friday. You shouldn’t need to work on the weekend.
96 hours is a full 4 days, so you can schedule a job at any time on
Friday for any time on Monday.
We’ve checked with the information assurance people, and they’re OK with
us holding the data for this extra amount of time.
this is so that the filtering, which we do on the admin side, is applied
before pagination - so that the pages returned are all valid displayable
jobs. unfortunately this means that another config value has to be copied
to the server side but it's not the end of the world
Currently getting a single notification by ID is restricted to
notifications created with the same key type.
This makes things awkward for the functional tests now we’ve removed the
ability to create live keys in trial mode. So this commit removes the
restriction, so that any key can get any notification, no matter how it
was created.
And you’re never going to guess a UUID, so the chances of this giving
you privileged access to someone’s personal information is none.
This does not change the get all notifications endpoint, which
absolutely should be restricted by key type.
- uses 4 rather than 8 entries to test the sort (2 notifications × 2
columns on which we’re sorting)
- makes sure we test for when a scheduled job was created before a job
that’s been processed already
- removes any relative datetimes so the tests are independant of
database speed
