Note, I haven't added anything for the `go_live_user` because it doesn't
quite make sense because here a user isn't requesting to go live. So
there should be no reason to record this.
We will in time though want to add audit events to capture every change
to the service broadcast settings, that will actually capture who has
done what.
We are in a weird situation where at the moment, we have services with
the broadcast permission that do not have a row in the
service_broadcast_settings table and therefore do not have defined
whether they should send messages on the 'test' or 'severe' channel.
We currently get around this when we send broadcast messages out as
such:
https://github.com/alphagov/notifications-api/blob/master/app/celery/broadcast_message_tasks.py#L51
We need to something equivalent for the broadcast channel that the API
says the service is on. In time, when we have added a row in the
service_broadcast_settings table for every service with the broadcast
permission then we can remove both of these two hardcodings.
Note, one option would have been to move the default of `test` on to the
`Service` model rather than having it in both the
broadcast_message_tasks file and the `ServiceSchema` class. However, I
went for the quickest thing which was to add it here.
Some of the fixtures weren't needed so have been removed.
I've also moved from using `client.post` to using `admin_request.post`
which saves a bit of code too.
Also one small assertion tidied up to make it a bit stronger regarding
permissions.
We will use this to easily identify all our broadcast services. There
could be other ways to deal with finding and seeing all broadcast
services but this is a good and easy way to start.
We think it would be a security risk to show the name of services
involved in emergency alerts as they be responsible for things such as
counter terrorism.
On top of that, showing broadcast services in the list of all services
could enable someone to use that information to try and trick an admin
into letting them access of a particular service given the fact they
know the name of it
We can use the `sample_broadcast_service` as this gives us a broadcast
service with service broadcast settings already for us to update rather
than needing to create our own settings db row
This will make our `sample_broadcast_service` look more realistic.
The one downside to this, is that there will be a short amount of time
where we have broadcast services that do not have a row in the
service_broadcast_settings table until we have backfilled this data. Our
unit tests therefore won't have coverage for this case but I think the
risk is small and acceptable for the moment as this will no longer be
the case in say a weeks time.
We don’t support these methods at the moment. Instead we were just
ignoring the `msgType` field, so issuing one of these commands would
cause a new alert to be broadcast 🙃
We might want to support `Cancel` in the future, but for now let’s
reject anything that isn’t `Alert` (CAP terminology for the initial
broadcast).
these will happen if, for example, you have issues connecting to AWS or
permission issues.
Still failover if we get one of these exceptions, as I think it might be
possible to have a problem only related to one of the lambdas.
By creating a new `CBCProxyOne2ManyClient` class for the three One2Many
clients to inherit from. These three clients are the same apart from the
`lambda_name` and the `failover_lambda_name`.
By adding SerialisedTemplate we can avoid a database call for the template. This is useful when sending many many emails/sms for the same template/version.
Remove 2 extra select queries after the update and commit. Once a transaction is committed SQLAlchemy will query for the db model if referenced after a commit.
This doesn't just relate to precompiled letters, it's actually just
checking that there are not any letters still waiting for a virus check
that should not be. This change to the naming makes it more accurate
and therefore easy to understand

This means we will have a much easier way of knowing what the settings
are for a broadcast service.
Note, we can just move data directly into the newer table as there is
nothing on the API or admin app that is putting data in the
`service_broadcast_provider_restriction` table, this was being done
manually for the few services that needed it.
At the moment, if a service callback fails, it will get put on the retry queue.
This causes a potential problem though:
If a service's callback server goes down, we may generate a lot of retries and
this may then put a lot of items on the retry queue. The retry queue is also
responsible for other important parts of Notify such as retrying message
delivery and we don't want a service's callback server going down to have an
impact on the rest of Notify.
Putting the retries on a different queue means that tasks get processed
faster than if they were put back on the same 'service-callbacks' queue.
One of our dependencies has a dependency on cryptography, which has
recently released version 3.4.
This version introduced a circular import error
(pyca/cryptography#5756) which was fixed in
3.4.1.
However, 3.4.1 has a different error where it fails because it cannot
find a rust compiler.
The suggested
solutions are:
Install a newer version of pip which will install a pre-compiled
cryptography wheel OR
Have rust installed and available on our PATH so that it can be used
to build the package.
Since we can't change the buildpack's pip version and we cannot install
rust ourselves, the only we're left with is to avoid upgrading to 3.4 -
at least until PaaS updates their python buildpacks.
