Summary

Worked through the 65 councils that showed FAILED in a full nightly-style BDD run on the Python 3.14 branch (PR #2222), one by one, tracking progress in CI_FAILURE_TRIAGE.md.

Method: re-ran each locally with a real Chrome (--local_browser True) instead of the remote Selenium grid CI uses.

  • 40 of 65 passed immediately — strong evidence of CI-environment flakiness (remote grid under parallel load / network timing), not real regressions.
  • Of the remaining 25 that failed locally too, a second pass found many share a common, non-code cause: this environment's IP is currently Cloudflare-403'd on multiple unrelated council sites simultaneously (confirmed via bare requests.get() on plain homepages, no scraper code involved).
  • The rest were live-site/live-data issues (APIs returning null/empty data for the fixture address, sites explicitly saying "no collection information for this property", a stale session-specific URL, a retired subdomain, a 404'd directory record) — none caused by any code change.

4 genuine, fixable bugs found and fixed:

  • GlasgowCityCouncil — site renamed the food-bin icon from greyBin.gif to foodBin.gif, so the icon→type lookup returned None for it.
  • OrkneyIslandsCouncil — test fixture had a postcode field the code has never actually read; it's always required a street/area/island name instead (pre-existing since this council's creation, not a regression).
  • NeathPortTalbotCouncil — three separate bugs: (1) the results page now renders multiple grid blocks with a promo banner first, so "just take the first one" missed the actual date headings entirely; (2) dates use a non-breaking space that the old .replace("&nbsp", " ") never matched (that literal string never appears in decoded text); (3) the bin-type card gained an extra CSS class that broke an exact multi-class match.
  • IsleOfWightCouncil — the address-select lookup used a stale aria-label the site no longer sets, swapped to the stable element id. (Also updated the test fixture off a stale UPRN-only config that never matched what the code has required since it was written — one further issue remains on the results page, documented in the triage doc for follow-up.)

Full per-council breakdown and reasoning: CI_FAILURE_TRIAGE.md.

Test plan

  • All 4 fixed councils verified live via the BDD suite — PASSED
  • Full unit suite (244 tests) still passes
  • Parity check clean
  • black clean on all touched files

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved Isle of Wight collection lookups following the council’s redesigned website.
    • Updated Isle of Wight and Orkney Islands lookup methods to provide more reliable address searches.
    • Added support for Glasgow’s food waste bin icon.
    • Improved Neath Port Talbot collection-date and bin-type detection across updated page layouts.
  • Documentation

    • Added a CI failure triage report documenting local test results, identified causes, current statuses, and areas requiring investigation.

Worked through the 65 councils that showed FAILED in a full nightly-style
run on the Python 3.14 branch. Re-ran each locally with a real Chrome
(--local_browser True) instead of a remote grid: 40 of 65 passed
immediately (CI-environment flakiness, not regressions). Of the 25 that
failed locally too, most turned out to be live-site/live-data issues or
a Cloudflare IP block on this environment unrelated to any code change
(full breakdown in CI_FAILURE_TRIAGE.md) - but 4 were genuine, fixable
bugs:

- GlasgowCityCouncil: site renamed the food-bin icon from grey to
  foodBin.gif, so the icon->type lookup returned None for it.
- OrkneyIslandsCouncil: test fixture had a `postcode` field the code has
  never read - it's always required a street/area/island name instead.
  Pre-existing since this council's creation, not a regression.
- NeathPortTalbotCouncil: three separate bugs - (1) results page now
  renders multiple layout blocks with a promo banner first, so the old
  code's "just take the first one" missed the actual date headings
  entirely, (2) dates use a non-breaking space the old
  `.replace("&nbsp", " ")` never matched (that string never appears in
  decoded text), (3) the bin-type card's class list gained an extra
  class that broke an exact multi-class match - now matched on that new,
  more specific class instead.
- IsleOfWightCouncil: the address-select lookup used a stale
  `aria-label` the site no longer sets - swapped to the stable element
  id. (Test fixture also updated off a stale UPRN-only config that never
  matched what the code has required since it was written; one further
  issue remains on the final results page and needs follow-up.)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes update three council scrapers, revise Isle of Wight and Orkney test inputs, and add a CI failure triage document covering all 65 council tests and their local results.

Changes

Council scraper updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scraper compatibility fixes
uk_bin_collection/uk_bin_collection/councils/GlasgowCityCouncil.py, uk_bin_collection/uk_bin_collection/councils/IsleOfWightCouncil.py, uk_bin_collection/uk_bin_collection/councils/NeathPortTalbotCouncil.py
Glasgow now maps foodBin.gif to Food waste. Isle of Wight uses updated Blazor element handling and the SelectAddress ID. Neath Port Talbot searches the full content area, replaces actual non-breaking spaces, and matches the bin-card-body class.
Council test input updates
uk_bin_collection/tests/input.json
Isle of Wight now uses postcode and house-number lookup. Orkney Islands now uses area or street-name input through the house-number field.
CI failure triage record
CI_FAILURE_TRIAGE.md
Records local results for 65 council tests, council statuses, Cloudflare access failures, and the 25 councils requiring investigation.
