[CON | Mentorship acceptance]: Ensure Exclusive Acceptance of Mentorship Matches

[astkhikatredi]

Context/background

A bug was discovered when two mentors, just minutes apart, accepted a mentorship request from the same mentee. This scenario arises if both mentor number 1 and mentor number 2 happen to open the page with the "Accept Mentorship" button simultaneously. Had mentor number 2 opened the page just a few minutes later, they wouldn't have seen the button; instead, they would have noticed that the mentorship request had expired.

What needs to be done?

• When one mentor clicks the request button, only mark the Mentorship Match as Accepted if and only if there is currently no other Accepted Mentorship Match;

• The code to fix should go into this file and this function: https://github.com/talent-connect/connect/blob/557064338aa96ab36e67f053ddd19389e5a[…]pi/src/con-mentorship-matches/con-mentorship-matches.service.ts

Eric's estimation: one hour of work
