Code Review

This pull request introduces a new collector for Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council, along with corresponding integration tests. The implementation is quite complex, involving a multi-step process to retrieve data, but it correctly follows the if/else if pattern for client-side requests as defined in the style guide.

My review focuses on improving maintainability and robustness. I've identified some areas for improvement:

  • Adherence to code style, particularly regarding trailing commas in object initializers.
  • A potentially buggy regular expression that should be corrected.
  • Opportunities to better align with the project's "fail fast" philosophy for handling required response data.
  • A suggestion to refactor duplicated code into a helper method to reduce redundancy between GetAddresses and GetBinDays.

Overall, this is a great contribution. Addressing these points will make the collector more robust and easier to maintain.

Addressing PR Review Comments ✅

Summary

I've successfully addressed all PR review comments from both BadgerHobbs and gemini-code-assist. The changes have been committed and pushed to the PR branch.

Changes Made

  1. Fixed Regex Pattern (line 78): Added missing closing > to BinDaysRegex pattern

    - </p
    + </p>
  2. Created Helper Method: Extracted HandleInitialFormSteps to eliminate ~200 lines of duplicated code between GetAddresses and GetBinDays methods. This helper handles RequestId null, 1, 2, 3 logic.

  3. Removed Postcode Formatting: No longer calling ProcessingUtilities.FormatPostcode() since postcode is already pre-formatted per BadgerHobbs' comment.

  4. Removed Postcode from Metadata: Now using address.Postcode directly in GetBinDays instead of passing through metadata, since it's already available in the Address object.

  5. Fixed Null Handling: Replaced ?? string.Empty with null-forgiving operator ! throughout (lines 126, 161) for "fail-fast" approach per style guide.

  6. Simplified Code Structure: Both methods are now more concise and maintainable with significantly reduced code duplication.

Code Statistics

  • Lines changed: 139 insertions(+), 261 deletions(-)
  • Net reduction: 122 lines removed while adding functionality

Response to Review Comments

Re: "Why fetch addresses again in GetBinDays?" - The initial steps (RequestId 1-4) are still necessary because they establish the session cookies and tokens required for subsequent requests. We cannot skip directly to posting the address selection without these cookies. However, I've consolidated this logic into a single helper method to improve maintainability.

Re: "Are all keys strictly required?" - Yes, the keys are necessary to match different bin description variations that appear in the council's response data.

Next Steps

The CI pipeline will automatically run tests on this commit. You can monitor the build and test results in the GitHub Actions tab.

Fixed Broken Unit Tests ✅

Summary

I've successfully identified and fixed the unit test failure in the Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council collector. The tests are now passing.

Issue Found

The test was failing with:

The given key 'cookie' was not present in the dictionary.

The problem was in the HandleInitialFormSteps helper method at lines 210-233. When handling RequestId 3, the method created a new metadata dictionary but didn't include the cookie from the previous steps. The cookie was used in the headers (line 227) but not added to the metadata, which caused the failure when GetBinDays tried to access it at line 322.

Fix Applied

Added the cookie to the metadata dictionary in the RequestId 3 handler:

var cookies = clientSideResponse.Options.Metadata["cookie"];

var metadata = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
    { "cookie", cookies },
};

This ensures the cookie is preserved in the metadata and available for subsequent requests in the GetBinDays method.

Test Results

✅ All tests now passing:

Test Run Successful.
Total tests: 1
     Passed: 1

Addressing PR Review Comments ✅

Summary

Successfully addressed all PR review comments from BadgerHobbs. All changes have been tested and committed.

Changes Made

  1. Simplified bin keys (line 34): Removed extra keys, keeping only one key per bin:

    • "Black" (was "Black bin", "Black")
    • "Green" (was "Green bin", "Garden", "Food")
    • "Blue" (was "Blue bin", "Paper", "Cardboard", "Cartons")
    • "Brown" (was "Brown bin", "Plastic", "Glass", "Tins", "Cans", "Aerosols")
  2. Moved helper method (line 89): Moved HandleInitialFormSteps to the end of the class, after GetBinDays method per style guide conventions

  3. Removed metadata code smell (line 181):

    • Removed additionalMetadata parameter entirely from helper method
    • Removed all conditional logic for merging additional metadata (100+ lines removed)
    • Updated GetBinDays to use address.Uid! directly instead of passing it through metadata
    • Simplified helper method to only handle cookies
  4. Cookie handling (line 123): Using TryGetValue with null-forgiving operator per style guide rule #391 for fail-fast behavior

Test Results

✅ All integration tests passing:

Addressing Outstanding PR Comments ✅

Summary

Successfully addressed all outstanding PR review comments regarding TryGetValue usage. The changes follow the repository's fail-fast philosophy.

Changes Made

Fixed TryGetValue usage in HandleInitialFormSteps method:

RequestId 1 (line 297) - Required cookies from initial request:

  • Changed from: clientSideResponse.Headers.TryGetValue("set-cookie", out var setCookieHeader);
  • Changed to: var setCookieHeader = clientSideResponse.Headers["set-cookie"];
  • Uses direct dictionary access for fail-fast behavior with clear error messages

RequestId 2 (line 325) - Optional additional cookies:

  • Checks if set-cookie header exists with ContainsKey before processing
  • Only merges additional cookies if present
  • Falls back to base cookie if no additional cookies are sent
  • This handles cases where the server doesn't send new cookies in the response

Test Results

✅ All integration tests passing:

Passed!  - Failed:     0, Passed:     1, Skipped:     0, Total:     1, Duration: 4s

Code Statistics

  • Lines changed: 7 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-)
  • Approach: Fail-fast for required values, conditional check for optional values

Rebasing onto main and updating integration test ✅

Summary

Successfully rebased the branch onto main and updated the integration test to the new format introduced in PR #145.

Changes Made

1. Rebase Approach:
Due to extensive merge conflicts (50+ files) when attempting a standard rebase, I used a hard reset to origin/main and re-applied only the two new files:

  • BinDays.Api.Collectors/Collectors/Councils/StockportMetropolitanBoroughCouncil.cs
  • BinDays.Api.IntegrationTests/Collectors/Councils/StockportMetropolitanBoroughCouncilTests.cs

2. Integration Test Format Update:
Updated the integration test to match the new format:

  • ❌ Removed ICollector field
  • ❌ Removed CollectorService field
  • ✅ Added _govUkId field that retrieves the GovUkId from the collector instance
  • ✅ Updated TestSteps.EndToEnd method call to use new signature: (client, postcode, govUkId, outputHelper)

3. Test Verification:
Ran the integration test locally to confirm it passes:

Test Run Successful.
Total tests: 1
     Passed: 1
 Total time: 9.8993 Seconds

Commit Details


- Implements ICollector interface
- Adds integration tests with new format
- Successfully tested with example postcode from issue
- Rebased onto main

Closes #98
