Problem
We previously inserted two try-catch blocks in the submissions pipeline as the
answer
field on some responses wasundefined
due to an unknown bug. We later found that the bug was due to missing SingPass/CorpPass cookies, and the bug was fixed in #918.As shown in the following queries in CloudWatch, we have had no instances of these errors in the past 4 weeks:
Closes #847
Solution
First, the try-catch blocks were removed. Then I noticed that the function
createEmailData
was just a dumb wrapper aroundSubmissionEmailObj
, so I replaced all instances of thecreateEmailData
function with a call tonew SubmissionEmailObj
. SincecreateEmailData
had extensive unit tests, I simply changed all its unit tests to callnew SubmissionEmailObj
instead (see diagram below), and found that the tests still passed as expected.Tests
