🛠️ Description of Changes

Teaches Scripts/get_deployed_commit.py about the QA2 environment and repairs its short-to-full commit hash resolution, which had been silently no-opping.

QA2 support (9cc26af2e)

  • Azure_Pipelines/_deploy_all_services.yml has offered scale-qa2 as an environment since 82f073a83, but the script only recognized dev-scale, scale-test and scale-qa. Selecting QA2 failed the Summarize deployment changes job with Unknown environment 'scale-qa2', which skipped the dependent Deploy job (dependsOn: Summarize, condition: succeeded()).
  • Maps scale-qa2 to a QA2_BASE_URL environment variable, following the existing pattern for the other three environments.
  • Lists scale-qa2 in the unknown-environment and empty-BASE_URL error messages, in the script docstring, and in the Scripts/README.md row.
  • Updates the pipeline's environment parameter displayName to mention QA2, matching the scale-qa2 value already present in that file.

Full commit hash resolution (290023837)

  • The script read the full SHA from payload.commit.sha2 in the JSON served by the GitHub commit page. That path no longer exists — the SHA moved to payload.commitRoute.commit.oid — so the chained .get() calls fell back to the short hash and returned it without raising. The Attempting to translate... log line was followed by neither a warning nor a translation, in local runs and in pipeline logs alike.
  • FromCommit therefore reached list-deploy-changes.py as a 7-character hash. That script fetches both refs with git fetch --depth=1 origin <ref>, and GitHub rejects unadvertised objects by short SHA (couldn't find remote ref). The fetch discards stderr and ignores its exit code, and the callers swallow CalledProcessError, so the deployment summary could silently come out empty.
  • Switches to https://api.github.com/repos/lantanagroup/link-cloud/commits/<sha> with the application/vnd.github.sha media type, which returns the 40-character hash as plain text — documented and stable, unlike the commit page's internal payload.
  • Accepts the result only when it is exactly 40 characters, warning with the response body otherwise.
  • Adds an explicit warning when FromCommit is still a short hash, naming the fetch that will fail, so any future breakage is visible in the log instead of silent.

No files were deleted or renamed. The only behavioral change for dev-scale, scale-test and scale-qa is that they now receive a full hash instead of a short one.

🧪 Testing Performed

Ran the script directly against the live environments:

  • scale-qa2 with QA2_BASE_URL=https://qa2-admin.nhsnlink.org → resolved BASE_URL, queried /api/info, and emitted FromCommit: 78b98b437a1dfcb748df590cda3cc53eae67edf9 with the matching ##vso[task.setvariable] line.
  • scale-qa with QA_BASE_URL=https://qa-admin.nhsnlink.org → same full hash, confirming the fix applies to the existing environments and not just QA2.
  • Unknown environment (bogus) → Unknown environment 'bogus'. Expected one of: dev-scale | scale-test | scale-qa | scale-qa2, or a direct https:// URL.
  • Missing base URL → the empty-BASE_URL error naming all four variables.
  • The direct https:// URL argument path is unchanged and still bypasses the environment mapping.

Supporting checks for the hash fix:

  • Confirmed the old JSON path is gone: the commit page now returns {"meta": ..., "payload": {"commitRoute": {"commit": {"oid": "78b98b437a1dfcb748df590cda3cc53eae67edf9", ...}}}} with HTTP 200, which is why no exception was ever raised.
  • Confirmed the new endpoint returns the bare SHA with HTTP 200, and that an unknown hash returns HTTP 422 — which raises into the existing handler and then trips the short-hash warning.
  • Confirmed the downstream impact against a scratch repository: git fetch --depth=1 origin 7fd1a60 fails with couldn't find remote ref, while the same fetch with the full 40-character SHA succeeds.
  • py_compile clean.

The pipeline itself has not been run with these changes; the Summarize job's behavior is inferred from the script's exit codes and the job dependency.

🧑‍🔬 Unit Testing

  • I have written or updated unit tests to cover my changes
  • Coverage: 0.0%

Justification: the deploy-support scripts under Scripts/ have no unit-test harness — the only Python tests in the tree are Scripts/AzureAppConfig/tests/, covering the app-config tooling, and no CI workflow executes tests for this script. Both changed paths depend on live HTTP endpoints (a deployed /api/info and the GitHub API) and were verified manually against them, as described above.

📓 Documentation Updated

  • Scripts/README.md — the get_deployed_commit.py row now lists scale-qa2 alongside the other three environments.
  • Scripts/get_deployed_commit.py docstring — documents the scale-qa2 argument and the QA2_BASE_URL variable.
  • Azure_Pipelines/_deploy_all_services.yml — the environment parameter prompt now reads (DEV | TEST | QA | QA2).
  • Added inline comments recording why the full hash matters downstream, so the next person to touch that block sees the coupling to list-deploy-changes.py.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for the QA2 environment in deployment workflows and deployed-commit checks.
    • Added support for retrieving deployed commits from the QA2 environment.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved resolution of short commit hashes and added warnings when commit details cannot be retrieved.

The Deploy_All_Services pipeline has offered scale-qa2 as an environment since
82f073a, but get_deployed_commit.py only recognized dev-scale, scale-test and
scale-qa. Selecting QA2 failed the Summarize job with "Unknown environment
'scale-qa2'", which skipped the dependent Deploy job.

- Map scale-qa2 to a QA2_BASE_URL environment variable, alongside the existing three
- List scale-qa2 in the unknown-environment and empty-BASE_URL error messages
- Document scale-qa2 in the script docstring and the Scripts/README.md row
- Mention QA2 in the pipeline's environment parameter displayName

Verified by running the script against scale-qa2 with QA2_BASE_URL set to
https://qa2-admin.nhsnlink.org, which resolved the deployed commit 78b98b4 from
/api/info. Unknown environments and the direct https:// URL argument are unchanged.

Requires a QA2_BASE_URL variable to be added in Azure DevOps wherever QA_BASE_URL is
already defined; without it the script reports the empty-BASE_URL error rather than
querying the wrong host.
get_deployed_commit.py read the full SHA from payload.commit.sha2 in the JSON served
by the GitHub commit page. That path no longer exists — the SHA moved to
payload.commitRoute.commit.oid — so the chained .get() calls fell back to the short
hash and returned it without raising. The "Attempting to translate..." line was
therefore followed by neither a warning nor a translation.

FromCommit then reached list-deploy-changes.py as a 7-character hash. It fetches both
refs with 'git fetch --depth=1 origin <ref>', which GitHub rejects for anything but a
full SHA ("couldn't find remote ref"), and that fetch discards stderr and ignores its
exit code, so the deployment summary could silently come out empty.

- Query api.github.com/repos/.../commits/<sha> with the 'application/vnd.github.sha'
  media type, which returns the 40-character hash as plain text, instead of reading
  the commit page's undocumented JSON payload
- Accept the result only when it is exactly 40 characters, warning with the response
  body otherwise
- Warn explicitly when FromCommit is still a short hash, naming the fetch that will
  fail, so a future breakage is not silent

Verified against qa and qa2: 78b98b4 now resolves to
78b98b4. An unknown hash returns HTTP 422, which
raises into the existing handler and then trips the short-hash warning.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The deployment pipeline and get_deployed_commit.py now support scale-qa2. Short commit hashes use the GitHub commits API for resolution, with warnings when resolution fails or returns an invalid SHA.

Changes

QA2 deployment and commit lookup support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add QA2 environment support
Azure_Pipelines/_deploy_all_services.yml, Scripts/README.md, Scripts/get_deployed_commit.py
The deployment parameter, documentation, environment variable handling, and environment mapping now include QA2.
Update short-hash resolution
Scripts/get_deployed_commit.py
Short hashes use the GitHub commits API with the SHA media type. The script warns when the result remains short or malformed.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to de900

The change adds QA2 support and improves commit resolution, but unresolved hash failures can still allow deployment summaries to be empty or incorrect, while unbounded network requests can leave the deployment job hanging. Merge readiness is moderate until these bounded correctness and availability risks are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Neither urlopen call passed a timeout, and the script never sets a global socket
default, so both used urlopen's default of blocking indefinitely. An unresponsive
/api/info endpoint or GitHub API would hang the Summarize job until the Azure DevOps
job timeout killed it, rather than failing the step with a usable error.

- Add an HTTP_TIMEOUT_SECONDS constant of 30 seconds
- Pass it to the /api/info request and the GitHub commits request, so both share the
  same budget

A timeout on the /api/info call raises into the existing handler and exits through
fail(); a timeout while resolving the full hash prints the existing warnings and
leaves FromCommit as the short hash. Verified against qa2 that the normal path is
unaffected: 78b98b4 still resolves to 78b98b4.
…esolved

The script warned about an unresolved short hash and then published it anyway. The
downstream consumer cannot use it: list-deploy-changes.py fetches both refs with
'git fetch --depth=1 origin <ref>', GitHub rejects unadvertised objects by short SHA,
and that fetch discards stderr and ignores its exit code — so the deployment summary
came out empty with nothing in the log to explain it.

- Replace the short-hash warning with a fail(), reporting the same context on stderr
  and exiting nonzero
- Place it ahead of the FromCommit print and the ##vso[task.setvariable] line, so no
  unusable value is published

This makes the Summarize job fail whenever the GitHub lookup fails for any reason,
including a rate limit or transport error, and Deploy is gated on Summarize
succeeding.

Verified against qa2 that the normal path is unchanged and exits 0. Forced the
failure path with an unreachable API host: the warning and the ERROR line are both
printed, the exit status is 1, and neither FromCommit nor the ##vso line is emitted.
