Description Rolando Isidoro 2015-04-21 13:45:32 UTC
When accessing the subscription detail page for a serial with unknown "Planned date" and/or "Published date" the following error occurs:

Not necessary, because:
return unless $subscription and $publisheddate;

Comment 5 Rolando Isidoro 2015-04-23 12:48:09 UTC
Hi M. Tompsett, the bugs are very similar indeed but this problem occurs for 'planneddate' while #13109 refers to 'startdate' or 'enddate'.

As for the patch I submitted, both validation are required, the check_date one you mentioned as not being needed is mandatory to solve the problem as the error occurs in the GetNextDate function.

I'm reverting the status to 'REOPENED', can you please take a second look at it?

GetNextDate receives a parameter $publisheddate (which it may or may not be). As far as I can tell, it is either:
NULL, 0000-00-00 (MySQL badness), or a valid MySQL date (YYYY-MM-DD).
I have confirmed that 0000-00-00 triggers an error. I'll be attaching tests that were missing.

Please remove the first part of this patch, as 13109 resolves that issue. Perhaps add a dependency?

Bug 14036 - GetNextDate.t lacking test cases.

Two test cases were added to improve testing. This catches the
problem encountered by Rolando Isidoro.

TEST PLAN
---------
1) Apply this test patch first.
2) prove t/db_dependent/Serials/GetNextDate.t
   -- this should bomb horribly.
3) Apply the other patch.
4) prove t/db_dependent/Serials/GetNextDate.t
   -- this should succeed.
5) koha qa test tools

This patch adds validation to prevent the error from occurring.
Follow the test plan in the subsequent patch.

This patch deals solely with this.

abouttoexpire issues exist, but may be resolved by applying bug 13109 first.

Comment 16 Katrin Fischer 2015-04-29 05:34:56 UTC
I am sorry, but I can't reproduce the problem on current master. I tried with an irregular subscription that will leave planneddate and publisheddateempty and I manually changed the database values to 0000-00-00 for both. 

Please include a test plan.

BTW, I have no subscriptions before testing.
Comment 21 Katrin Fischer 2015-04-29 09:30:42 UTC
Can you still reproduce the issue in the GUI on current master?
What does your entry in subscription and serial look like?

I will attempt to replicate it in the interface later, but I did not use the interface in my testing.
Comment 23 Katrin Fischer 2015-04-29 19:41:43 UTC

I'll work on it, but it make require setting up bad data in an earlier version, upgrading, and then trying to edit.
Comment 25 Katrin Fischer 2015-04-29 20:05:04 UTC
If you or Rolando can tell me how to alter the data in order to make the problem appear that would work for me for now.

Haven't triggered the exact problem, but a similar one:
1) Set up stuff.
    a) Home -> Acquisitions
    b) Add Vendor
    c) Add Budget
    d) Add Fund for that Budget
       -- not all these steps may be necessary, but they are a good idea.
2) Home -> Serials
3) New Subscription
4) Fill in first page nicely, click Next
5) Fill in second page nicely, click 'Test prediction pattern'
6) EVIL STEP: Change the publication date to 00/00/0000
7) Click 'Save'
   -- KABOOM!

(In reply to Katrin Fischer from comment #25)
> If you or Rolando can tell me how to alter the data in order to make the

I have looked further, and believe the only way to trigger this problem is bad data.

However, as I just posted, there are validation failures at the template level which end up calling these functions in exploding ways.

GetNextSeq and GetNextDate in C4::Serials both call GetFictiveIssueNumber, and it is the second parameter as 0000-00-00 which causes the explosion.

This is easy to trigger as tests apart from the interface.

However, some validation on the template pages actually prevents such explosions. Though, as demonstrated in comment #26, there needs to be an improvement in validations done.

Would adding those validations to solve comment #26 be sufficient to pass all of this?
Comment 28 Marc Véron 2015-12-24 14:11:44 UTC
Is this bug still valid?
Comment 29 Jonathan Druart 2019-12-11 14:55:12 UTC
Date formatting is enforced template-side. This is certainly no longer valid. Closing, please reopen if still valid.
