Allow users to withdraw an application
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Task

If a user wishes to withdraw their application for a resource, for example because they applied by mistake or filed a duplicate application, there should be some mechanism for them to do so without requiring intervention from coordinators. There is currently no way for them to do so.

We should add a new button to the My Applications page (https://github.com/WikipediaLibrary/TWLight/blob/master/TWLight/users/views.py#L786) next to any Pending or Under Discussion applications with the text "Withdraw". The button should change that application's status to Invalid and provide the user with a message which says "Your application to {partner} has been withdrawn."

{F32250266}Hi I want to contribute to this project but I am facing problem. I have installed the project on localhost and I am not able to login as when I click on login button it shows "You tried to log in but presented an invalid access token". Kindly help me.
Thanks

This looks like a clock drift or latency issue between the local twlight oauth service provider and the remote wikimedia oauth identity provider.

Try this change:

-            identity = handshaker.identify(access_token, 15)
+            identity = handshaker.identify(access_token, 600)

In TWLight/TWLight/users/oauth.py

Don't commit this change, but let us know if it resolves the issue for you.

Thank you! now the project is working fine and I am working on the task now and I will report to you here about the progress :)

Thanks for letting us know, I've filed a separate task (T262395) for configuring this value correctly for local development.

@Saloniig How are you progressing with this task? :)

Hi @Samwalton9 ! I'd like to take up the task if it's not being done by @Saloniig right now.

Please feel free :)

Hi @Samwalton9! I'd like to work on this task

Hi @Samwalton9,
I have one doubt in this question that,
when user will click on the withdraw button, then the application which was there should be deleted from the my application page or not.

If yes then do I need to delete that application from the database??

If the application should be deleted then there is no need to change the status of the application.

Good question!

I think you're right that deletion would be a preferable way of handling this. So yes, instead of changing the application status, simply deleting the application object makes sense to me.

Do I need to delete that application from the database???

Hey Sam,
Can you tell me how I can use Print() in terminal ??
Because I want to do some debugging..

Hi Sam,
**url(

    r"^my_applications/(?P<pk>\d+)/$",
    login_required(views.ListApplicationsUserView.as_view()),
    name="my_applications",
),**

I want to redierect my withdraw button to above url after deletion how I can do these.
I had tried

return redirect ** permanent = True

url  = reverse_lazy("users:my_applications")**

but it did not work because my_applications also have primary key.
Can you help me out..

Can you tell me how I can use Print() in terminal ??

The easiest way to print out for debugging is to use the logger. You can do so with:

import logging
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

(If this isn't already set up in the file you're in)

Then print debug messages to the Docker log with:
logger.info("Your debug string here")

but it did not work because my_applications also have primary key.

To add the primary key in here you can do something like:

url  = reverse_lazy("users:my_applications", kwargs={"pk": user.pk})

Can I use function base view instead of class base view.

We're using class based views wherever possible in this project. Can I help with that at all?

Hi Sam,
I had solve this issue and created a pull request.
Please! have a look and suggest if any more changes or improvements needed...
