Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of responses from SaaS integrations, including empty, unreadable, invalid, or unexpected content.
    • Prevented successful HTTP responses containing HTML or other non-JSON content from being treated as valid company information.
    • Failed requests now provide more useful diagnostic details, including response type, URL, redirect status, and relevant request metadata.
    • Added clearer error reporting when response bodies are empty or cannot be parsed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The SaaS gateway now reads response bodies once, preserves JSON objects, and records parse failures for unusable bodies. Successful non-JSON responses include diagnostic metadata in logs and Sentry events. Unit tests cover HTML and empty responses.

Changes

SaaS response diagnostics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Response parsing and diagnostics
backend/src/microservices/gateways/saas-gateway.ts/...
The gateway reads response text once, handles empty, unreadable, non-object, and invalid JSON bodies, and reports parse details for failed or successful HTTP responses.
Invalid response coverage
backend/test/ava-tests/unit-tests/saas-company-gateway.test.ts
Tests verify that HTML and empty successful responses return null and produce diagnostic error logs.

Priority: ⬇️ Low — Defer this narrow SaaS gateway error-handling change because it improves diagnostics for unexpected response bodies without supplied evidence of broader customer or product impact.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 994c0

Successful SaaS responses containing JSON arrays can bypass invalid-body handling and diagnostics, potentially exposing callers to an unexpected response shape. Reject arrays before merge to preserve consistent fallback behavior.

Use one template literal for message.

reportUnexpectedBody joins three template literals with +. The repository guideline requires template literals instead of string concatenation.

As per coding guidelines: Use template literals instead of string concatenation.

Proposed change
-		const message =
-			`SaaS request ${method} ${patch} returned HTTP ${res.status} but ${parseFailure} ` +
-			`(content-type: ${contentType}; final URL: ${res.url || 'n/a'}; redirected: ${res.redirected}) — ` +
-			`SAAS_URL (${this.baseSaaSUrl}) does not seem to reach the saas API`;

Annotate the two AVA callbacks.

Import AVA’s ExecutionContext type and annotate both t parameters and async callback return types as Promise<void>. This follows the repository’s TypeScript convention.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject JSON arrays before the Record cast.

JSON.parse returns an array with typeof parsed === 'object'. This branch therefore returns an array as Record<string, unknown>, skips parseFailure, and does not trigger reportUnexpectedBody. This violates the SaaSResponse.body contract for an unusable JSON response.

Proposed change
-			if (parsed !== null && typeof parsed === 'object') {
+			if (parsed !== null && typeof parsed === 'object' && !Array.isArray(parsed)) {
 				return { body: parsed as Record<string, unknown> };
 			}
-			return { body: {}, parseFailure: `the body is JSON but not an object (${typeof parsed})` };
+			const parsedType = parsed === null ? 'null' : Array.isArray(parsed) ? 'array' : typeof parsed;
+			return { body: {}, parseFailure: `the body is JSON but not an object (${parsedType})` };
