No point trying, it's the same lambda. As `_invoke_lambda` currently
takes a bytes payload, rather than a json payload, it meant the decision
between encoding the payload in the canary or moving the encoding into
the `_invoke_lambda` function. We decided to go for the former as the
lesser of two evils. We may end up doing the encoding twice in the case
of a failover but this avoids us having to put the encoding in our code
in several places (for example the canary and also soon to be the link
tests).
For all FunctionErrors, and for invoke errors (status > 299) we
want to retry with failover lambda.
We are doing this, because if there is a connection or other error
with one lambda, the failover lambda may still work and it's
worth trying.
With time, we will probably have more complex retry flow, depending
on the error and even maybe differing for each MNO (broadcast provider).
In 8285ef5f89
we turned off alerting on 2nd class letters still being in sending on
certain days of the week because we were only sending letters out on
Mon, Wed, Fri.
Now we have swapped back to sending out 2nd class letters on all
workdays so this change can be reverted. Note, I haven't reverted the
commit exactly but more so the behaviour, whilst leaving in some tests
to explicitly test 2nd class letters for the alert in case we change
this again.
new broadcast messages will have content filled whether they have a
tempalte or not, but old ones won't so populate.
Stole the session constructor from 0044_jos_to_notification_hist.py
We will need a lambda to failover to if the first lambda fails. This
isn't so much a case of the lambda itself failing, as it is a cross
availability zone resource automatically, it's more in case something in
the networking goes down in our AZ and therefore the lambda can't call
out to the CBC. In this case, we will be able to swap to using the
second AZ by calling the second lambda.
This is to prepare us for where when we try and send/cancel a broadcast
we may need to invoke more than one lambda. This might happen if we call
the invoke the first lambda, we get an error and therefore we try and
invoke a failover/second lambda. Then `_invoke_lambda` will be
responsible for the call to AWS whereas `_invoke_lambda_with_failover`
will be responsible more for picking the lambda and deciding on retry
behaviour if failure cases.
ensures code remains backwards compatible during the deploy. this commit
should be reverted once all broadcast_message.content fields have been
back-filled.
we want to be able to create broadcast messages without templates. To
start with, these will come from the API, but in future we may want to
let people create via the admin interface without creating a template
too.
populate a non-nullable content field with the values supplied via the
template (or supplied directly if via api).
This means that anyone adding a new test to this file doesn’t have to
remember to clear the cache in their test, or forget to and have a
hard-to-debug test failure.
Using `setup_function` means we don’t have to convert this module into
using class-based tests.
There are several reasons why we might get an `InvalidParameterValue`
from the SES API. One, as correctly identified before in
https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-api/pull/713/files
is if we allow an email address on our side that SES rejects.
However, there are other types of errors that could cause an
`InvalidParameterValue`. One example is a `Header too long: 'Subject'`
error that we have seen happen in production. This shouldn't raise an
`InvalidEmailError` as that is not appropriate.
Therefore, we introduce a new exception
`EmailClientNonRetryableException`, that represents any exception back
from an email client that we can use whenever we get a
`InvalidParameterValue` error.
Note, I chose `EmailClientNonRetryableException` rather than
`SESClientNonRetryableException` as our code needs to catch this
exception and it shouldn't be aware of what email client is being used,
it just needs to know that it came from one of the email clients (if in
time we have more than one).
In time, we may wish to extend the approach of having generic
`EmailClient` exceptions and `SMSClient` exceptions as this should be
the most extendable pattern and a good abstraction.
We shouldn't be logging PII so we should not log email addresses. We
remove the email address and just log the normal exception message.
Note, this meant before that you could see the email address and more
easily track down the notification ID in the database. Now instead, you
will need to search in the DB for notifications that have gone into
technical failure at the time of the log message (as we still don't
log the notification ID alongside the failure).
There seems to be some kind of complication in this script that doesn't
allow it to terminate properly.
This is being removed for now to allow deploying the rest of the fixes
in time for the holiday period.
