Description Tomás Cohen Arazi 2015-06-05 14:56:07 UTC
On a clean dev install in master, if you search for a user, say 'acevedo' you will get a warning in the logs:

[Fri Jun 05 11:25:01.173014 2015] [cgi:error] [pid 13536] [client 127.0.0.1:51033] AH01215: [Fri Jun  5 11:25:01 2015] circulation.pl: Use of uninitialized value $searchtype in string eq at /home/tcohen/git/koha-community-src/C4/Utils/DataTables/Members.pm line 78., referer: http://koha-dev.biblioadmin/cgi-bin/koha/mainpage.pl

[PASSED QA] Bug 14344: uninitialized value warning C4/Utils/DataTables/Members.pm

The condition for the assignment depends on $searchtype to be defined
and equal to 'contains'. So this change doesn't change the semantics.

-            if $term !~ /^%/
-                and $searchtype eq "contain";
+            if (defined $searchtype) && $searchtype eq "contain"
+                && $term !~ /^%/;

To test:
- Home -> Circulation -> Checkout
- Search for a user that does not exist (I searched 'whywouldthisexist') on the intranet interface.
- Look at the intranet logs
=> FAIL: you get "Use of uninitialized value $searchtype in string eq at.,,"
- Apply the patch
- Repeat the search
=> SUCCESS: No warning
- Sign off :-D

NOTE: Other pages are more forgiving. Tweaked test plan.
