Description Magnus Enger 2013-12-16 14:46:18 UTC
In Norway, we have a national database of library patrons, called "Nasjonalt lånekort" (NL). The fact that communnication with this database is missing from Koha is one of the two main stumbling blocks that keep Norwegian libraries from adopting Koha (the other one is the lack of support for the Norwegian ILL protocol). 

This bug will add support for NL to Koha. 

Communication with NL happens through SOAP. 

Documentation on NL is available here: http://www.lanekortet.no/ but it is in Norwegian only, alas.

Comment 2 Chris Cormack 2014-09-09 22:40:40 UTC
Magnus, I dont think you need to include the schema files, (one of them is conflicting). The RM can generate those when the patches are pushed
Comment 3 Tomás Cohen Arazi (tcohen) 2014-09-10 00:14:38 UTC
Magnus, include the schemas in a separate patch, so it is easier to test. You can put a comment with the command that needs to be run to regenerate them.
On pushing I'd re-generate it.

Comment 9 Katrin Fischer 2014-10-11 14:42:35 UTC
Hi Magnuse,

- I'd like to see the change that Chris pointed out - make the loading of the module mandatory. One important reason being that the new dependencies are not marked as mandatory, but without them the test suite won't work - a lot of the tests fail because of the missing dependencies on my system. 

- Shibboleth is also going to make use of Test::DBIX::Class, this one could
probably be marked mandatory (see the Shibboleth patch)

Otherwise this so far looks good!
Comment 10 Katrin Fischer 2014-10-11 15:23:05 UTC
Hi Magnus, 

I sat with Tomas and we noticed that you might have a typoe in the version number here:

+    'Digest::SHA' => {
+        'usage'    => 'Norwegian national library card',
+        'required' => '0',
+        'min_ver'  => '5.84_01',
+    },

Also, we might have to get Convert:BaseN packaged (also Test::DBIX::Class for this and Shibboleth)

Freeze for the next Debian release is approaching, so hopefully I'll get it done soon.

Did you mean *not* mandatory?

Hm, I have some checks for the modules I have used in t/NorwegianPatronDB.t which should ensure the tests in it are skipped if any of the modules are missing. However, I had use'd one of the modules (SOAP::Lite) at the top of the test script, maybe that was tripping you up? Or were you seeing other tests fail because of the National library card stuff?

Something like 

  use Module::Load::Conditional qw( can_load );
  can_load( modules => { 'Koha::NorwegianPatronDB qw( NLUpdateHashedPIN NLEncryptPIN NLSync )' => undef } );

instead of plain old 

  use Koha::NorwegianPatronDB qw( NLUpdateHashedPIN NLEncryptPIN NLSync );

?

Yep except wrap it in an if

if (syspref is set) {
  can_load ....
}

eg in Koha::QueryParser::Driver::PQF we do
if ( $format eq 'json' && can_load( modules => { 'JSON' => undef } ) ) {

Hope this helps

libconvert-basen-perl has been uploaded to Debian, and is in the Koha repo. Can you please test it?

It looks like Module::Load::Conditional can't take a list of subs to import, so I went with Module::Load (which is already used a couple of places in Koha) instead, e.g.:

use Module::Load;
if ( C4::Context->preference('NorwegianPatronDBEnable') == 1 ) {
    load Koha::NorwegianPatronDB, qw( NLMarkForDeletion NLSync );
}

[PASSED QA] Bug 11401 - Add support for Norwegian national library card

This patch makes it possible to sync patron data between Koha and the
Norwegian national patron database, in both directions.

In order to use this, the following information is necessary:
- a username/password from the Norwegian national database of libraries
  ("Base Bibliotek"), available to all Norwegian libraries
- a special key in order to decrypt and encrypt PIN-codes/passwords,
  which is only available to Norwegian library system vendors
- a norwegian library vendor username/password

See http://www.lanekortet.no/ for more information (in Norwegian).

While this is of course an implementation of a specific synchronization scheme
for borrower data, attempts have been made to prepare the ground for other sync
schemes that might be implemented later. Especially the structure of the new
borrower_sync table might be reviewed with an eye to how it might fit other
schemes.

To test:

Since the password and cryptographic key needed to use this functionality
is only available to Norwegian library system vendors, only regression testing
can be done on the submitted code. Suggested things to check:

- Apply the patch and make sure the database update is done. This should add
  the new "borrower_sync" table and five new systmpreferences under the
  "Patrons" > "Norwegian patron database" category:
  - NorwegianPatronDBEnable
  - NorwegianPatronDBEndpoint
  - NorwegianPatronDBUsername
  - NorwegianPatronDBPassword
  - NorwegianPatronDBSearchNLAfterLocalHit
- Check that patrons can be created, edited and deleted as usual, when
  NorwegianPatronDBEnable is set to "Disable"
- Check that the new tests in t/NorwegianPatronDB.pm run ok, e.g. on a
  gitified setup:
  $ sudo koha-shell -c "PERL5LIB=/path/to/kohaclone prove -v t/NorwegianPatronDB.t" instancename
- Check that all the other tests still run ok
- Check that the POD in the new files itroduced by this patch looks ok:
  - Koha/NorwegianPatronDB.pm
  - members/nl-search.pl
  - misc/cronjobs/nl-sync-from-koha.pl
  - misc/cronjobs/nl-sync-to-koha.pl
  - t/NorwegianPatronDB.t

[PASSED QA] Bug 11401 - QA followup

1) Be more careful when checking the NorwegianPatronDBEnable syspref.

Before:
if ( C4::Context->preference('NorwegianPatronDBEnable') == 1 ) {

After:
if ( C4::Context->preference('NorwegianPatronDBEnable') && C4::Context->preference('NorwegianPatronDBEnable') == 1 ) {

This should avoid complaints if the syspref is not initialized.

2) Fix some empty =head2 POD sections

3) Fix some indentation in patrons.pref, to make xt/yaml_valid.t happy

Bug 11401: (followup) make tests run on absent deps

The current code breaks if a dependency is missing. The evals are
rearranged so there's no error on missing dependency.

To reproduce:
- Have a dependency for t/NorwegianPatronDB.t removed
- Run
  $ prove t/NorwegianPatronDB.t
=> FAIL: You see an error similar to this (may vary depending on the lib you removed):

t/NorwegianPatronDB.t .. You tried to plan twice at t/NorwegianPatronDB.t line 37.

- Apply the patch
- Run
  $ prove t/NorwegianPatronDB.t
=> SUCCESS: Tests are skipped on missing lib
