Follow-up to #2209's SocietyWorksClass consolidation - two real bugs found in review, both verified live: - _uprn_to_property_id() accessed resp.headers["Location"] unconditionally after a non-404 response. Confirmed live against Bexley that a valid UPRN does 302 with a Location header - but any response that's neither a 404 nor carries one (a malformed redirect, a stray 200) would raise an opaque KeyError instead of a clear error. Now checks for it and raises a descriptive ValueError. - _address_to_property_id() matched the house name/number as a bare substring anywhere in the option text ("addr_lower in text"). Verified live against Sutton's address list (e.g. "56 Greyhound Road", "16 Greyhound Road") that a paon of "6" would wrongly match one of those before ever reaching a real "6 ..." entry - the same address-matching bug class already fixed for Babergh/Haringey/Slough this cycle. Anchored to the start of the option text instead. Verified both fixes live end-to-end (Sutton via postcode+house number, Bexley via UPRN) and via the BDD suite for all 8 councils this PR moves onto SocietyWorksClass.

Test Valley's site no longer includes ordinal suffixes (st/nd/rd/th) in its collection dates - verified live: the current text is "Saturday 5 September", not "Saturday 5th September". The old ordinal-stripping regex is now dead weight (and content bug #2194 is a decoy: nothing to strip), so remove it and the now-unused `import re` rather than leaving it in commented out. Verified _parse_date() against the real live text ("Saturday 5 September" -> 2026-09-05, "Tuesday 8 September" -> 2026-09-08). Could not run the live BDD test this session (no local Selenium grid available). Fixes #2194 Co-Authored-By: Paul Hardacre <geekball@users.noreply.github.com>

The default Month view only renders appointments up to the end of the last displayed calendar week, not a full rolling window. A bin whose next collection falls just past that cutoff - while its last collection is already in the past - returned zero appointments, leaving the HA sensor Unavailable. Switch to the site's built-in Agenda view (a toolbar button already on the page) before reading appointments, which shows a genuine rolling window from today instead of a fixed calendar month. Verified live end-to-end via browser automation, including the exact XPath/wait used - caught and fixed one mistake in the process (`text()` only matches the button's first direct text node, not its full rendered text; the button in question has no such text node, so it never matched - needed `normalize-space(.)` instead). Left the reporter's second observation (an appointment dated today that's already been collected can still appear as "next") unfixed - the site's aria-labels carry no completion-status signal to distinguish "today, not yet collected" from "today, already done", so there's no reliable way to filter it without risking hiding a genuine same-day collection when checked before it happens. Could not run the live BDD test this session (no local Selenium grid available) - verified the fix directly against the live site instead.

Anchor the address match on a segment boundary, not on a following space.
The option text separates the house number from the street with a comma, for example "6 Greyhound Road, Sutton, SM1 4BJ". If a user passes a full address string in -n, such as 6 Greyhound Road, then text.startswith(addr_lower + " ") is False because the next character is a comma, and text == addr_lower is also False. _address_to_property_id returns None and parse_data raises "Could not resolve property".
wiki/Councils.md documents -n as "house number/address string to match" for all seven migrated councils, so this input is expected. The previous Brent implementation matched the PAON as a substring, so those users regress to a hard failure.
Match on a word boundary instead. This still rejects the "6" versus "56 Greyhound Road" case described in the comment.
🐛 Proposed fix for the address anchor
addr_lower = (addr or "").strip().lower()
# Match the house name/number at the start of the option text (e.g.
# "54 Greyhound Road, Sutton, SM1 4BJ") rather than as a substring
# anywhere in it - a bare `in` check would let addr "6" wrongly
# match "56 Greyhound Road" before ever reaching a real "6 ...".

Reporter hit a bare 60s "Timeout while updating data" during setup. The scraper's own code had accumulated defensive Cloudflare Turnstile handling and several hardcoded sleeps (3s/2s/5s/10s/15s) atop many chained WebDriverWaits - a large enough cumulative budget on a slow Selenium grid to blow past the HA wrapper's 60s timeout on its own, with or without a real challenge ever appearing. Investigated live: Gateshead's form uses the exact same GOSS iCM platform as Sunderland and Powys (`BINCOLLECTIONCHECKER_*` element ids, `/apiserver/formsservice/http/processsubmission` postback, and the same JSONP `/apiserver/postcode` lookup Powys uses). No Cloudflare challenge appeared anywhere in the flow via plain `requests` - the Turnstile-handling code was addressing a problem that isn't currently real. Rewrote to drive the JSONP postcode lookup + form postback directly, reusing the existing (already-correct) bincollections__table parsing logic. Dropped the now-unneeded `web_driver` fixture field. Verified live end-to-end via the BDD suite - no Selenium grid required, completes in ~4s. Fixes #2217

Enter Agenda view before waiting for appointments, then wait for Agenda appointments to render.
The current Month-view e-appointment wait can time out when Month view has no appointment, preventing the Agenda switch. After switching, waiting only for the Agenda container may allow find_elements to run before appointments are populated, resulting in no bins. Move the Agenda click before the Month-view appointment wait and wait for an Agenda-specific completion condition before reading appointments.

SocietyWorksClass (added in the SocietyWorks consolidation) lives in councils/ for import convenience, but it's an abstract base a handful of concrete councils (Bexley, Sutton, etc.) extend - not itself a selectable council. Users pick their actual council, not the backend platform it happens to run on, so it correctly has no input.json entry of its own. The parity check didn't know that and flagged it as a files/JSON mismatch, failing CI. Excluded it via a small NON_COUNCIL_FILES allowlist rather than giving it a fake config entry, and documented why - so the next shared base class added under councils/ knows to do the same instead of rediscovering this the same way.
Two bugs, both confirmed live:
1. soup.find("u1", ...) - "u1" (the numeral one) instead of "ul" (the
tag) - so the lookup could never match anything, always raising
AttributeError on the resulting None.
2. Even fixing the tag name, the site now renders each collection
date/bin-type pair as its own separate <ul> with this class (17 of
them for the test address), rather than one shared list containing
every row - matching the reporter's own theory that the council
changed its results page structure. Using find() would only ever
see the first pair. Switched to find_all(), collecting pairs from
every matching <ul> instead of just the first.
This is the same shape of bug already fixed for Slough this cycle
(collection rows split across multiple single-item containers instead
of one shared list) - worth checking other WhiteSpace WRP-platform
councils in this repo if similar reports come in.
Verified live end-to-end (all 17 expected collections now parsed
correctly) and via the BDD suite.
Fixes #2216

) Reporter's scraper crashed with a bare requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 403 Forbidden calling the AWS Lambda endpoint directly. Reproduced live and dug further: the reported 403 is not payload-specific (tried the old hardcoded usrn="1", the real uprn+usrn pair from the site's own address list, and other combinations - all return the same 403). Traced the real live flow via browser automation: the council's own site no longer calls this API directly from the client at all. Its Drupal form now does a server-side redirect to find-your-bin-collection-dates?uprn=...&usrn=... after address selection, meaning the AWS API is called from Canterbury's own backend now, not the browser. Confirmed the "Live collection information" table on their own live site is currently stuck on a permanent loading spinner and never resolves - this looks like a live outage or an access restriction on the API (likely now IP/key-restricted to server-to-server calls), not something fixable by changing what our scraper sends. Raise a clear ConnectionError identifying this as an outage on the council's end rather than letting an opaque HTTPError propagate, matching the precedent set for EnvironmentFirst (#2127). Doesn't restore functionality - the API is inaccessible from outside right now regardless of what this scraper does - but see the issue comment for what a proper fix would look like if/when this settles (mirroring the site's own new flow instead of calling the API directly).
…2213) The council page publishes the current fortnight's pair verbatim rather than the next occurrence of each bin, so whichever bin was collected earlier in the fortnight parsed to a date already in the past. get_next_occurrence_from_day_month() was called on each date, but its result was immediately discarded by an unconditional bin_date.replace(year=current_year) (or next_year for a Dec->Jan value) right after - so the "roll forward a year if already passed" logic it implements never actually took effect, and wasn't the right fix for a fortnightly schedule anyway (a year, not two weeks, is the wrong amount to roll forward). Parse the date with the current year directly, then roll forward by 14 days at a time (day-based, so it naturally crosses a year boundary without the separate Dec/Jan special case) until it's genuinely upcoming - exactly the reporter's own suggested fix, which matches their worked example (17 August -> 31 August). Also removed the unused `bin_colour` variable the reporter flagged as dead code - computed but never added to the returned bin dict, and Home Assistant ignores any colour in the data anyway (it derives colour solely from the icon_color_mapping option). Verified live end-to-end (both Rubbish and Recycling now return dates in the future, not the already-passed 17/08) and via the BDD suite. Fixes #2213
Reporter watched the Selenium session over VNC and observed the page "soft crash" when the postcode was typed too soon after load, leaving the #listAddress dropdown never populated. Confirmed live: the postcode field reports clickable/enabled well before the form's own JS (a third-party Granicus/AchieveForms iframe) finishes attaching its address-lookup handlers, and there's no DOM attribute that distinguishes "field exists" from "handlers wired up" to wait on instead. Added a short settle delay after the postcode field becomes clickable and before typing into it, matching this codebase's existing pattern for other slow/third-party form widgets rather than introducing a new generic configurable-wait feature - this council's specific timing race is narrow enough that a scraper-side fix is a better match for the problem than new per-user configuration surface. Could not run the live BDD test this session - this council needs a real Chrome + Xvfb display (or a remote grid, which its own undetected-chromedriver path doesn't use), neither of which is available here.

…or (#2202) Two independent bugs, both confirmed live: 1. check_postcode(user_postcode) was called unconditionally, even when a PID (passed as uprn) was already provided. The site's own PID is enough on its own to fetch the calendar directly - no address search needed - but the code always demanded a postcode first, so any user configured with just a PID (exactly what the reporter tried as a workaround) hit check_postcode(None) -> a 404 querying api.postcodes.io/postcodes/None. Restructured so postcode is only required when we don't already have a PID. 2. The results table selector was `table[class*="table table-condensed"]`, but the site's current markup uses `class="table table-sm"` - so even with a valid postcode, the search path would already return zero results ("No collection data found"). This was a second, independent failure mode from the same underlying "site redesign" the reporter described. Updated to match. This also explains why the project's own test fixture for this council was silently broken from the start - it only ever set `uprn`, so check_postcode(None) meant its BDD test could never have passed. Verified live end-to-end via all three paths: PID alone (the existing fixture's UPRN), the reporter's own postcode+PID example, and a fresh postcode+house-number search with no PID at all. All three now return real, correct collection dates. Verified via the BDD suite too - this is the first time this fixture has ever actually passed. Fixes #2202

…ries (#2197) Two bugs, same site family as Vale of White Horse (#2213) - both councils share the same BINZONE backend and near-identical scraper structure. 1. Same year-rollover bug already fixed for Vale of White Horse: get_next_occurrence_from_day_month()'s result was discarded by an unconditional bin_date.replace(year=current_year) right after, so a stale date could never actually roll forward. Fixed the same way - parse with the current year, then roll forward by the fortnightly cycle (day-based, so it crosses a year boundary naturally) until genuinely upcoming. 2. The reported bug: the council describes each visit as one combined sentence covering everything collected that day (e.g. "Grey bin, small electrical items and food bin"), and the scraper returned that whole sentence as a single bin "type". No icon_color_mapping entry can sensibly match a full sentence, so Home Assistant fell back to a default colour for everything - which is what the reporter saw ("Colour entity = black" for both a grey-bin day and a green-bin day). Split the combined sentence into its individual bins (comma/and-separated) instead, each getting its own entry dated the same day - "Grey bin, small electrical items and food bin" now becomes three separate types: "Grey bin", "Small electrical items", "Food bin". Verified live end-to-end - both collection days now split correctly and dates are genuinely upcoming, not stale. Verified via the BDD suite too. Fixes #2197

Guard the form lookup and correct the return annotation.
_form_fields returns a 2-tuple of (fields, action), but the annotation declares -> dict. Correct the annotation to -> tuple[dict, str].
soup.find("form", id=FORM_ID) returns None when the form ID changes or the page returns an interstitial. Line 18 then raises AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'find_all', which hides the real cause. Raise an explicit error instead.

Read the address fields with .get() instead of direct indexing.
Lines 84-89 and line 97 index match directly. The dict comes from the postcodeSearch JSONP payload, which is an open record. If the endpoint omits line3, line4, or udprn for an address, the parser raises KeyError instead of a descriptive error. Line 70 only proves that line1 is present.

Guard the ASP.NET token lookups.
Each line chains ["value"] onto soup1.find(...). find returns None when the input is absent, and the subscript then raises TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable. The council site returning a maintenance page or a changed form is enough to trigger this.

Resolve the collection year before applying the fortnightly rollover.
Both parsers force an unyear'd date into today.year. During the December-to-January transition, the parsed date is about one year early. Adding 14-day intervals cannot restore the published date because 365 days is not divisible by 14. Select the current, previous, or next calendar year that places raw_date in the current schedule window before applying the fortnightly rollover. Add December-to-January and January-to-December boundary tests.

CI hit a 403 from gateshead.gov.uk (fronted by Cloudflare) that doesn't reproduce locally - same pattern already seen for Sunderland and Powys: works fine from here (200), but GitHub Actions' datacenter IP gets flagged. Sending the same header set a real browser would (Accept, Accept-Language, Sec-Fetch-*, etc.) rather than just a User-Agent, matching the mitigation already applied to Powys - won't clear a hard IP-based block on its own, but may help avoid also being flagged on fingerprint grounds. Verified locally this doesn't regress the working flow.

Checked all 4 flagged failures — verified each URL directly from outside CI:
No real bugs among these four - happy to dig further into Woking's flakiness specifically if it keeps failing on a re-run, but couldn't reproduce it once here. |
…age (#2191) The old scraper's whole approach was built on a wrong assumption: it passed the UPRN as the iCal feed's "round" parameter (bin-collection-feed?round=<uprn>), but "round" is actually a round *code* (e.g. REFUSEW2THU - refuse, week 2, Thursday), a completely different identifier space from a UPRN. Confirmed live that the feed endpoint now returns "200 text/calendar" with a permanently empty body regardless of what's passed - it looks to have been retired entirely on the council's end, not just misconfigured. The site now surfaces dates through a session-based flow instead: postcode search -> select address (sets session state remembering it) -> a plain HTML "all collection dates" page for the resulting round code, spanning a full year. Each date's bin type is given as an <img alt="..."> icon (e.g. "black bin", "blue lidded bin", "food waste caddy") rather than text, which cleanly disambiguates bin types without needing to reverse-engineer separate round codes per type - found this while trying to distinguish types from the alternative "Current collection dates" summary view, which doesn't label them. Rewrote as pure HTTP (session cookies carried across the three requests, no Selenium). Dates have no year in their text and span a full year including a Dec->Jan wraparound, so track year rollovers by month decreasing rather than assuming everything is the current calendar year. Switched the fixture from UPRN-only (no longer usable - there's no direct UPRN-based lookup endpoint) to postcode + house number, matching the site's actual search flow. Verified live end-to-end: 106 bins across a full year (Sept 2026 - Sept 2027), zero past dates, correct year rollover. Verified via the BDD suite too. Fixes #2191

- Line 85: Update the first-date reconstruction logic around current_year and
last_month so that, when no previous month exists, the reconstructed first
collection date is compared with today and current_year is incremented if that

collections.

Assign the next year for a first collection after New Year.
On December 31, 2026, a first heading such as Monday 4 January is assigned to January 4, 2026. The rollover check cannot increment the year because last_month is None. Compare the first reconstructed date with today and increment current_year when it is already in the past.

Fail when a collection date does not match the expected format.
This handler silently omits the row and returns partial bins data. A council markup change can then hide a collection without reporting an error. Raise a clear ValueError that includes the invalid heading.
Based on learnings: raise exceptions on unexpected council formats instead of silently continuing.

Gravesham was already implemented but UPRN-only, forcing users to look their UPRN up via a third-party site first. Adds the same postcode -> address-search -> UPRN resolution flow other AchieveForms councils use (lookup id 58c855b298b88), falling back to the UPRN path unchanged when one is supplied directly so existing configs keep working. The form's apparent complexity (parallel c1-c5 collection slots, "parent" fields, tree-collection fields) turned out to be dead scaffolding for other bin types/scenarios - a live address only ever populates the single getUpcomingCollections lookup already in use.

Summary
September 2026 release: consolidates all mergeable open PRs plus fixes for every issue reported since the last release, worked newest-first.
PR consolidation
Locationheader access that couldKeyError, and address matching via bare substring that could pick the wrong property (e.g. paon "6" matching "56 Greyhound Road"). Also added a small parity-check exclusion for the new shared base class, which isn't itself a selectable council.Issues fixed
"u1"/"ul"typo and collect every collection row instead of just the first.roundwas never a UPRN. Now uses a session-based postcode/address search into the site's new HTML dates page, reading bin type from each date's icon.Investigated, documented, not fixed this round

cb(...)wrapper and callingjson.loads(nevereval).SocietyWorks.py's UPRN input is validated as digits-only before being used to build a request path; the property ID used afterwards is either that validated UPRN or a value read back from the council's own redirectLocationheader/address dropdown, not attacker-controlled.requests' own query/body encoding (no manual string interpolation into request bodies).@v4) to specific patch versions.NewarkAndSherwoodDC.pycallsrequestswithverify=False(TLS verification disabled) on a couple of calls — not introduced or touched here, flagging for a future follow-up.Test plan
