Testing Notifications

[George3d6]

1. Create a script to anonymize the db from beta (prod) -> dev (avoid mistakenly sending emails to users, among other things), can just reuse Elise's script to create a db sample here
2. Add a "SEND_ALL_MAIL_TO" flag in order to redirect emails to the tester's account
3. Add a "MAIL_FREQUENCY_MIN" env variable that will be set to 60 for prod (and by default) but can be set to e.g. 1 for speed of testing
4. Add unit tests to the CP notifications

Test notifications for

• Mention in comments (make a comment mentioning a few users)
• Resolution (Resolve a question I predicted on)
• Significant movement on predicted question (artificially add 100 forecasts of 0 to a question that's ~1 that I predicted on) Follow a question and test:
• Notifications for every 3 new comments
• Warn on small CP changes
• Artifically advance lifetime and check milestone notification
• Check specific time notification for e.g. 2 minutes from now

@George3d6

Missing:

• Status change on question I follow (e.g. in-review→upcoming or open→close).
• Question opens in tournament I follow.

Ok, will do those 2 as well :)

Curious how easy I'd be to automate all of these as part of the integration tests but my hunch if "pretty hard"

Comment notifications work

[George3d6]

Open/Close/Resolve work CP change works New comments on followed questions don't send notifications. New questions in followed tournaments don't send notifications.

@hlibowski I don't see a very easy fix/solution for:

1. Notifications being sent on posts you follow when a certain nr of unread comments appear
2. Notifications being sent when a new post is opened in a tournament you follow

Could you look into these 2 + add unit tests for them ?

@George3d6 refactored posts approval and "new opened posts in the following tournament" began to work. I also find a small semi-related issue to N comments notification. It works on my end, so please revalidate to be sure
