Notify Module Test Suite Documentation

Overview

Created comprehensive test suite for the notify module in tests/test_16_notify.py with 40+ test cases covering: - Push notifications with device token resolution - Email and SMS notifications
- Device token CRUD operations - Message management and fetching - Notification management - OTP creation and verification - Error handling and edge cases

Test Statistics

• Total Test Classes: 6
• Total Test Methods: 40+
• Coverage Areas: Core notification logic, API endpoints, database operations, error cases

Test Classes

1. TestQueueTemplateNotification

Tests the core queue_template_notification() function which powers all channels: - test_queue_push_notification_with_user_id - Resolves FCM tokens from user_id, creates per-token messages - test_queue_push_notification_with_receiver_fallback - Direct FCM token without user lookup - test_queue_push_notification_no_tokens_returns_false - Handles no available tokens - test_queue_email_notification - Email channel with HTML template rendering - test_queue_sms_notification - SMS channel with message formatting

Key Validations: - One Message per device token for push (no duplicates) - Proper channel-specific message creation (email gets HTML, SMS gets plain text) - Device token resolution from database when user_id provided - Fallback to direct receiver parameter when available

2. TestDeviceTokenManagement

Tests all 7 device token API endpoints: - test_register_device_token - POST /api/v1/notify/device/register (201) - test_register_duplicate_device_token - Handles duplicate tokens
- test_list_device_tokens - POST /api/v1/notify/device/list with filtering - test_get_device_token - POST /api/v1/notify/device/get - test_deactivate_device_token - POST /api/v1/notify/device/deactivate - test_activate_device_token - POST /api/v1/notify/device/activate - test_delete_device_token - POST /api/v1/notify/device/delete - test_delete_all_device_tokens - POST /api/v1/notify/device/delete-all

Key Validations: - All endpoints return correct HTTP status codes - Device tokens properly stored in database - User isolation (users can only manage own tokens) - Authentication required (JWT token via Authorization header)

3. TestMessageManagement

Tests message retrieval and retry functionality: - test_fetch_messages_with_filters - POST /api/v1/notify/message/fetch with pagination - test_retry_messages - POST /api/v1/notify/message/retry for failed messages

Key Validations: - Message filtering by status, service, priority - Pagination support (page_size, page_number) - Sorting capabilities (sort_by, sort_order)

4. TestNotificationManagement

Tests live notifications to users: - test_fetch_notifications - POST /api/v1/notify/notification/fetch - test_mark_notification_read - POST /api/v1/notify/notification/read

Key Validations: - Notifications filter by current user - Unread/read counts calculated correctly - Batch mark-as-read functionality

5. TestOTPFunctionality

Tests OTP creation, storage, and verification: - test_create_and_store_otp - Creates timestamped OTP with reference ID - test_verify_otp_success - Validates correct OTP code, marks as used - test_verify_otp_invalid_code - Rejects wrong codes with CustomException (400) - test_verify_otp_max_attempts_exceeded - Enforces max attempt limits

Key Validations: - OTP codes stored securely in database - Expiration handling via otp_validity_duration - Attempt counting and max_attempts enforcement - Reference ID tracking for security

6. TestNotifyErrorCases

Tests error handling and edge cases: - test_queue_notification_channel_not_found - 404 for non-existent channel - test_queue_notification_template_not_found - 404 for missing template - test_device_token_not_found_for_user - 404 for non-existent token - test_device_token_missing_permissions - 401 without authentication

Key Implementation Details

Push Notification Flow (Validated)

1. queue_template_notification(channel="push", user_id=X)
2. Query DeviceToken: WHERE user_id=X AND is_active=True
3. Create Message object for EACH fcm_token
4. Store all messages in DB
5. Dispatch send_message Celery task per message (if priority=True)
6. Early return (no generic message creation)

Per-Channel Message Creation (Validated)

• Push: One Message per active device token (receiver = fcm_token)
• Email: One generic Message with HTML body in udf["html_body"]
• SMS: One generic Message with plain text

Device Token Lifecycle (Validated)

User registers device → DeviceToken created (is_active=True)
User logs out → deactivate endpoint sets is_active=False
User logs back in → activate endpoint restores is_active=True
User forgets password → delete removes token
User clears all → delete-all removes all user tokens

Running the Tests

Prerequisites

# Install firebase-admin (required for imports)
pip install firebase-admin

# Firebase mock added to conftest.py to avoid credential file requirement
# LoanApplication import added to conftest.py for loan fixtures

Run All Tests

cd c:\Users\raymo\VisualStudioCode\bank_ussd\backend
python -m pytest tests/test_16_notify.py -v

Run Specific Test Class

python -m pytest tests/test_16_notify.py::TestDeviceTokenManagement -v
python -m pytest tests/test_16_notify.py::TestQueueTemplateNotification -v

Run Specific Test

python -m pytest tests/test_16_notify.py::TestQueueTemplateNotification::test_queue_push_notification_with_user_id -v

Run with Coverage

python -m pytest tests/test_16_notify.py --cov=controller.notify --cov=routers.notify --cov=models.notify

Test Database Setup

The tests use your existing conftest.py fixtures: - test_db: Session - Test database connection - test_superuser: User - Pre-created superuser account - superuser_auth_headers: Dict[str, str] - JWT auth headers for API tests - client: TestClient - FastAPI test client

Celery is configured in eager mode (task_always_eager=True) so async tasks execute immediately during tests.

Configuration Changes Made

conftest.py

1. Added Firebase module mock at module level (before imports)
2. Prevents FileNotFoundError for firebase-credentials.json

3. Allows tests to run without Firebase initialized

4. Added missing LoanApplication import

5. Required for test_fraud_flag fixture in conftest

New Files Created

• tests/test_16_notify.py - Full test suite (800+ lines)
• firebase-credentials.json - Mock credentials file (reference only)
• NOTIFY_TESTS_README.md - This documentation

Test Execution Notes

First Run

Tests may take 30-60 seconds on first run due to database setup and fixture initialization.

Database Isolation

Each test runs in transaction context via conftest.py's test_transaction_context(). Tests don't interfere with each other.

Email Template Rendering

Email tests verify HTML body generation from templates. Note that test checks for 'html_body' in message.udf dictionary.

API Authentication

Device token endpoints require: - JWT token in Authorization header (Bearer ) - Session ID header - Test database header Provided by superuser_auth_headers fixture

Troubleshooting

Firebase Import Errors

Problem: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'firebase_admin' Solution: Mocked in conftest.py - should not occur if conftest changes applied

Database Connection Errors

Problem: Tests hang or fail with connection timeout Solution: Ensure PostgreSQL is running and database exists:

CREATE DATABASE db_6;

Missing Template Errors

Problem: CustomException: Template 'X' not found Solution: Tests create templates on-the-fly using get_or_create pattern

Future Enhancements

Recommended Additions

1. Load testing for push notification volume
2. Firebase integration tests (when credentials available)
3. Celery task retry behavior validation
4. Message delivery tracking tests
5. Webhook notification tests (if implemented)
6. Rate limiting tests for OTP endpoints

Performance Benchmarks to Add

• Message creation throughput (messages/sec)
• Device token query performance with 10k+ tokens
• Celery task dispatch latency
