Although using a team key is functionally the same as your service being
restricted, conflating the two errors is not helpful. What we typically
saw in research was that someone was using a team key, got the error,
used a live key and got the _same_ error.
This commit adds a new error message that specifically mentions the type
of API key that you’re using.
Scenario we saw in research:
- trying to send a message to someone outside your team
- service is in trial mode
Result:
- error message was terrible, no-one understood it
Solution:
- better error message
- "RETRY" prefixes the messages
In event of the retry attempts completing without successfully completing the task identify message as such
- "RETRY FAILED" prefixes the messages
Applies to the send_sms|send_email and send_sms_to_provider|send_email_to_provider tasks
These are there to try and ensure we can alert on these events so that we know if we have started retrying messages
Retry messages also contain notification ids to aid debugging.
only in the public notification endpoint so far for fear of breaking
things - in an ideal world i'd remove the template relationship
from models entirely and replace that with actual_template
history-meta's dynamic magic is insufficient for templates, where we
need to be able to refer to the specific history table to take
advantage of sqlalchemy's relationship management (2/3rds of an ORM).
So replace it with a custom made version table.
Had to change the version decorator slightly for this
a service now has branding and organisation_id columns, and two new
tables have been aded to reflect these:
* branding is a static types table referring to how a service wants
their emails to be branded:
* 'govuk' for GOV UK branding (default)
* 'org' for organisational branding only
* 'both' for co-branded output with both
* organisation is a table defining an organisation's branding. this
contains three entries, all of which are nullable
* colour - a hex code for a coloured bar on the logo's left
* logo - relative path for that org's logo image
* name - the name to display on the right of the logo
* can now handle nullable foreign keys - would previously raise
AttributeError
* can now handle default values - we would previously not insert
default values that hadn't been generated yet, which if the
field is not nullable will result in IntegrityErrors. We were
deliberately removing 'default' attributes from columns. Only
remove them if nullable is set to true now.

This allows us to prefix metrics with the environment to allow stats from staging and live to go to the same statsd, and alls us to filter in the dashboard by environment.
Removed all existing statsd logging and replaced with:
- statsd decorator. Infers the stat name from the decorated function call. Delegates statsd call to statsd client. Calls incr and timing for each decorated method. This is applied to all tasks and all dao methods that touch the notifications/notification_history tables
- statsd client changed to prefix all stats with "notification.api."
- Relies on https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-utils/pull/61 for request logging. Once integrated we pass the statsd client to the logger, allowing us to statsd all API calls. This passes in the start time and the method to be called (NOT the url) onto the global flask object. We then construct statsd counters and timers in the following way
notifications.api.POST.notifications.send_notification.200
This should allow us to aggregate to the level of
- API or ADMIN
- POST or GET etc
- modules
- methods
- status codes
Finally we count the callbacks received from 3rd parties to mapped status.
this replaces content_char_count, by performing the additional
steps to calculated billable units at insert time, rather than
read time. This means we can take into account whether the
service was in research mode or using a test api key when the
notification was sent :tada
use NotficationHistory instead. Unfortunately this means the SQL
gets a bit gnarly, as we have to repeat notifications_utils'
`get_sms_fragment_count` functionality inside a SELECT 😱
