Issue Ticket Number

Description

This PR removes redundant authentication checks (e.g., if not user: raise AuthenticationFailed(...)). Authentication is now solely handled by the JWT middleware, which correctly returns 401 errors for unauthenticated requests.

Additional Notes

Description by Korbit AI

What change is being made?

Remove redundant authentication checks and simplify user role assignments by replacing RoleName constants with direct string values for role names.

Why are these changes being made?

The redundant authentication checks within the task.py and task_assignment.py views were removed to streamline request processing, as request.user_id is already set by the middleware. Additionally, simplifying role assignment by using string values instead of constants reduces complexity and increases code readability. These adjustments help in reducing unnecessary code logic while maintaining functionality.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Resolved intermittent authentication errors when listing, creating, updating, deferring, assigning, or deleting tasks and task assignments.
    • Improved accuracy and consistency of audit logs for SPOC-related actions.
  • Refactor

    • Streamlined user context handling across task and assignment endpoints for greater reliability and consistency.
    • Reduced latency in common task operations through simplified request processing.

Walkthrough

Replaced user lookups via get_current_user_info and AuthenticationFailed checks with direct use of request.user_id across task and task-assignment views. Updated all service/DTO calls to pass user_id=request.user_id. No public API signatures changed.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Task Views
todo/views/task.py
Removed get_current_user_info and AuthenticationFailed usage; rely on request.user_id for TaskListView, creation, deletion, defer, updates, and assignment paths; pass request.user_id to TaskService/DTOs.
Task Assignment Views
todo/views/task_assignment.py
Removed auth retrieval and AuthenticationFailed; use request.user_id for create/update/delete assignment flows, SPOC checks, and audit fields; updated logs accordingly.

Assessment against linked issues

Objective Addressed Explanation
Remove redundant auth check in TaskListView.get and rely on middleware (#232)

Assessment against linked issues: Out-of-scope changes

Code Change Explanation
Replace user context with request.user_id across create/update/delete/defer task endpoints (todo/views/task.py) Issue #232 targets only removing redundant auth check in TaskListView.get; broader refactors in other methods are not specified.
Switch to request.user_id in AssignTaskToUserView.patch and related assignment flows (todo/views/task.py) Assignment flow changes are not part of the stated objective.
Replace user["user_id"] with request.user_id across task-assignment endpoints, including SPOC validation and audit fields (todo/views/task_assignment.py) Changes in task-assignment views are outside the scope of TaskListView.get auth check removal.

Poem

I hop through views with tidy cheer,
No extra checks, the path is clear.
JWT guards the garden gate,
request.user_id seals our fate.
Tasks align, assignments glide—
Fewer footprints, neater stride.
Thump-thump! Clean code, rabbit pride.

241-253: Wrap spoc_id in PyObjectId
Replace the raw request.user_id with PyObjectId(request.user_id) to match AuditLogModel.spoc_id: PyObjectId | None. Ensure you add

from todo.models.common.pyobjectid import PyObjectId

and update:

79-98: Duplicate profile branch causes dead/unreachable code.

The second if query.validated_data["profile"]: is redundant and never reached.

Apply this diff to remove duplication and keep the richer response formatting:

         if query.validated_data["profile"]:
             status_filter = query.validated_data.get("status", "").upper()
             response = TaskService.get_tasks_for_user(
                 user_id=request.user_id,
                 page=query.validated_data["page"],
                 limit=query.validated_data["limit"],
                 status_filter=status_filter,
             )
-            return Response(data=response.model_dump(mode="json"), status=status.HTTP_200_OK)
-
-        if query.validated_data["profile"]:
-            response = TaskService.get_tasks_for_user(
-                user_id=request.user_id,
-                page=query.validated_data["page"],
-                limit=query.validated_data["limit"],
-            )
-            return Response(
-                data=response.model_dump(mode="json", exclude_none=True),
-                status=status.HTTP_200_OK,

+                status=status.HTTP_200_OK,
+            )

100-111: Normalize status in non-profile path for parity.

You uppercased status only in the profile path; apply same normalization here to avoid case-sensitive mismatches.

Apply:

-        status_filter = query.validated_data.get("status")
+        status_filter = (query.validated_data.get("status") or "").upper() or None

141-146: Map Pydantic validation errors to 400 instead of 500 when createdBy is invalid.

CreateTaskDTO will raise Pydantic ValidationError (e.g., invalid ObjectId). Current code turns that into a 500.

60-60: Confirm request.user_id is always present and a valid ObjectId string.

If middleware/permissions don’t run, this will raise AttributeError or fail downstream validations.

Would you like a small guard/mixin to enforce/annotate request.user_id on all auth’d views?


197-200: LGTM: SPOC check now uses request.user_id.

This correctly delegates auth to middleware and enforces SPOC authorization here.


217-218: Verify repository update semantics when switching team → user assignment.

Ensure update_assignment(task_id, executor_id, "user", request.user_id):

  • Sets assignee_id=executor_id,
  • Switches user_type to "user",
  • Preserves/updates updated_by and updated_at.

I can generate a quick repository-level check script if helpful.


289-289: LGTM: propagate request.user_id to delete.

Consistent with the service contract and auditability.

todo/views/task.py (1)

82-86: LGTM: request.user_id plumbed through all task operations.

Consistent with JWT middleware responsibility and service contracts.

Please confirm all these views run behind authentication/permission classes so request.user_id is guaranteed (e.g., global DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES or per-view IsAuthenticated).
