Code Review

This pull request introduces a new collector for Torbay Council, complete with integration tests. The implementation is well-structured and correctly follows the multi-step request pattern defined in the project. My review identifies several minor violations of the repository's C# style guide, primarily concerning missing trailing commas and an unused using directive. These are small fixes that will improve code consistency. Overall, this is a solid contribution.

Resolved PR Comments ✓

All review comments have been addressed and changes pushed to the PR branch.

Changes Made

From BadgerHobbs' review:

  • ✓ Removed postcode formatting - now uses the already-formatted postcode passed by caller
  • ✓ Removed address ordering - addresses are returned in original order
  • ✓ Renamed vague "value" variable to "addressText" for clarity
  • ✓ Removed empty/null/default form fields: CurrentSectionID, TriggerCtl, and FF1168lbltxt (kept only required fields)

From gemini-code-assist review:

  • ✓ Added robust token parsing with validation - now throws InvalidOperationException if tokens are not found, failing loudly as per style guide
  • ✓ Removed unused using BinDays.Api.Collectors.Collectors.Vendors statement
  • ✓ Added null-forgiving operator (!) to BinDayRegex().Matches() call as per style guide rule #180
  • ✓ Fixed postcode reference in GetBinDays to use address.Postcode directly

Note on trailing commas: The trailing commas mentioned in the gemini review were already present in the code, so no changes were needed for those.

Code duplication: The duplicated client-side request logic for getting form tokens is intentional per the style guide's step-by-step request pattern (lines 157-164 of style guide). This pattern provides clear, linear flow for debugging multi-step processes.

--- • Branch

- Remove unused using statement (Vendors namespace)
- Remove postcode formatting (already formatted by caller)
- Remove address ordering (not required)
- Rename vague 'value' variable to 'addressText'
- Remove empty/null/default form fields (CurrentSectionID, TriggerCtl, FF1168lbltxt)
- Add robust token parsing with validation to fail fast if tokens not found
- Add null-forgiving operator to regex Matches call
- Use address.Postcode directly instead of formattedPostcode variable

Build Fixed ✓ — Test Failure Requires Investigation

Changes Made

Fixed build error:

  • Added missing using BinDays.Api.Collectors.Collectors.Vendors; import that was incorrectly removed in the previous commit

Restored required form fields:

  • CurrentSectionID
  • TriggerCtl
  • FF1168lbltxt

These fields were removed as "empty/null/default" but are actually required by the council website's form submission.

Build Status

✅ Build now succeeds with 0 errors and 0 warnings
✅ Code compiles successfully

Test Status

❌ Integration test still fails — returns 0 bin days instead of expected results

The TorbayCouncil integration test continues to fail even after restoring the form fields. Since other council tests (e.g., PlymouthCouncil) pass successfully, this suggests the issue is specific to Torbay Council's implementation or website.

Possible Causes

  1. Website changes: The Torbay Council website may have changed its HTML structure since the original implementation (Jan 6, 2026). The regex pattern for extracting bin day data may no longer match.

  2. Data availability: The website might be temporarily down or returning different data for the test postcode (TQ1 3DG).

  3. Date-related: The original test showed January 2026 collection dates. Now it's February 1st, and the website may have different data or date formats.

Recommendation

The build is now fixed and the code will compile. However, you should manually test the TorbayCouncil collector with postcode TQ1 3DG to verify if the council website has changed. If the website has changed, the regex patterns or request logic may need updating.


Branch

- Add missing 'using BinDays.Api.Collectors.Collectors.Vendors' import
- Restore CurrentSectionID, TriggerCtl, and FF1168lbltxt form fields
- These fields are required by the council website form submission

The previous commit incorrectly removed the Vendors namespace import
and form fields, causing build failure. This commit fixes the build
but the integration test still fails with 0 bin days returned,
suggesting the council website may have changed since implementation.

@claude Update to use different postcode, 'TQ1 1NX', then see if we can re-apply the changes as per the PR comments.

Test Postcode Updated Successfully ✓

All tasks completed successfully!

Changes Made

Updated test postcode:

  • Changed from TQ1 3DG to TQ1 1NX in TorbayCouncilTests.cs
  • The previous postcode was returning 0 bin days
  • New postcode successfully retrieves collection data

Test Results

Build Status: Succeeded with 0 errors and 0 warnings
Integration Test: Passed successfully

  • Found 82 addresses for postcode TQ1 1NX
  • Retrieved 5 bin collection dates (Feb 5, 12, 19, 26, and Mar 5)
  • Correctly identifies General Waste and Recycling bins

PR Review Comments Status

The previous commit already addressed all PR review comments correctly:

  • ✅ Token parsing validation with error handling (lines 213-216)
  • ✅ Null-forgiving operator on regex Matches (line 258)
  • ✅ Trailing commas throughout
  • ✅ Clear variable naming ("addressText")
  • ✅ No postcode formatting (uses as-is)
  • ✅ No address ordering (preserves original order)
  • ✅ Required using statement for GovUkCollectorBase maintained

The TorbayCouncil collector is now working correctly with the updated test postcode!

The previous test postcode TQ1 3DG was returning 0 bin days. Updated to TQ1 1NX which successfully returns collection data.

Test now passes with 82 addresses and 5 bin days found.

Replace null coalescing operators with null-forgiving operators as per PR review feedback.
Note: Empty/null/default form fields (CurrentSectionID, TriggerCtl, FF1168lbltxt) must be kept as they are required by the council website.

Bin Definitions Updated ✓

  • Read current TorbayCouncil.cs implementation
  • Update bin definitions to match ticket specifications
  • Build the project
  • Run integration tests
  • Commit and push changes

Changes Made

Updated the bin definitions in TorbayCouncil.cs to match the original ticket specifications:

Recycling Collection Service:

  • Recycling (Plastics/Tins): Green Box - Key: Recycling
  • Recycling (Glass/Cardboard): Orange Box - Key: Recycling
  • Recycling (Paper): Blue Bag - Key: Recycling
  • Food Waste: Brown Bin - Key: Recycling

Domestic Collection Service:

  • General Waste: Grey Bin - Key: Domestic

Garden Waste Collection Service:

  • Garden Waste: Brown Bin - Key: Garden

Key Changes

  1. Split the single "Recycling" bin into three specific recycling bin types with appropriate colors and types
  2. Multiple bins now share the same service key (Recycling), which means when the council website returns "Recycling Collection Service", all four recycling-related bins will be matched
  3. Changed Food Waste from Caddy to Bin type and updated its key to Recycling (as it's part of the Recycling Collection Service)
  4. Simplified General Waste key to just Domestic (removed "General" and "Refuse")

Test Results

✅ Build succeeded with 0 errors and 0 warnings
✅ Integration test passed successfully

All bins now match the specifications from the original issue #26.
