Key Improvements Made:

  1. Database Management:
    • Added SQLAlchemy exception handler registration in FastAPI.
    • Fixed initialization bug in _DatabaseSettings.
  2. HTTP Status Codes:
    • Changed ResumeNotFoundError and JobNotFoundError to 404.
    • Changed parsing error status to 422 for REST compliance.
  3. Configuration Validation:
    • Added validators for database URLs and session keys.
    • Implemented secure session key generation.
  4. Error Handling:
    • Improved unhandled exception handler to log details without leaking information.
    • Adjusted logging levels based on error severity.
  5. Code Quality:
    • Resolved undefined variable access in database configuration.
    • Improved session management for better resource cleanup.

Impact of Changes:

• Security Enhancements: Secure session management, improved error handling.
• API Compliance: Corrected HTTP status codes with REST best practices.
• Reliability Boost: Fixed critical initialization issues.
• Developer Experience: Improved error messages and logging.
• Production Readiness: Strengthened configuration validation and application robustness.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved error messages and status codes for resume and job-related errors, providing clearer feedback when resources are not found or cannot be processed.
    • Enhanced internal error responses to display more user-friendly messages.
  • New Features

    • Added dedicated handling for database errors, resulting in more precise error reporting for database-related issues.
    • Strengthened configuration validation, including secure defaults for database URLs and session keys, and improved environment variable checks for reliability.

…validation

- Add missing SQLAlchemy exception handler registration in FastAPI app
- Fix critical bug in database settings class initialization
- Improve config validation with proper defaults and validators
- Use correct HTTP status codes (404 for not found, 422 for parsing errors)
- Enhance exception logging while preventing information leakage
- Add automatic secure session key generation if not provided
- Improve overall application robustness and security

These changes address several critical issues:
1. Missing database exception handling that could cause unhandled errors
2. Improper HTTP status codes that violate REST API standards
3. Configuration validation gaps that could cause runtime failures
4. Security improvements for session management
5. Better error logging for debugging while maintaining security

Walkthrough

The changes introduce improved error handling and configuration validation across the backend application. Exception handling in API endpoints and the FastAPI app is refined, including custom handling for SQLAlchemy errors and more granular HTTP status codes. The configuration system now enforces secure defaults and validates critical environment variables. Logging for unhandled exceptions is enhanced for better traceability.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
apps/backend/app/api/router/v1/resume.py Refined error handling: adjusted logging levels, HTTP status codes, and log messages for specific exceptions.
apps/backend/app/base.py Registered a new exception handler for SQLAlchemyError in the FastAPI app.
apps/backend/app/core/config.py Added default values and validators for database URLs and session secret key in Settings config class.
apps/backend/app/core/database.py Converted _DatabaseSettings class attributes to instance attributes initialized in __init__.
apps/backend/app/core/exceptions.py Enhanced logging in unhandled_exception_handler and updated the error message in the JSON response.

Poem

In the warren of code, where the backend hops,
New checks and logs keep out the flops.
Errors now handled with gentle care,
And secrets are safe as rabbits beware.
With settings secure and logs that delight,
This patch brings backend bugs to light! 🐇✨
