Description Jonathan Druart 2018-05-14 17:03:56 UTC
When a method is not allowed yet (not covered by tests), developers get an error the is not really useful: "The method XXX is not covered by tests!"
It would be more useful to have a stack trace in order to know where this error come from.

Bug 20767: Display a stack trace when a method is not covered by tests

When a method is not allowed yet (not covered by tests), developers get
an error the is not really useful: "The method XXX is not covered by
tests!"
It would be more useful to have a stack trace in order to know where
this error come from.

Test plan:
Modify some code to display this stack trace and confirm it makes sense
to have it, i.e. it will make debug easier

> When a method is not allowed yet (not covered by tests)

Is this about automated tests? Then what does this has to do when executing the method? Is this a way to make people to write tests?

It seems that there can be other causes to this error, is that correct?

I also heard that this had to do with the mapping with de DB columns being done or not. So, I'm confused ^^"

We can get this error when we try to use a new column and Koha::Schema was not updated.
So, the message should probably be "This method does not exist" rather than "not covered by tests".
Comment 4 Séverine Queune 2018-05-24 13:03:00 UTC
I have a (good ?) example on my test instance : when I try to use the new syspref to mark an item lost and notify patron from holds to pull list, I get this software error :
    The method homebranch is not covered by tests!"

Applying this patch, I get this one :

    The method Koha::Patron->homebranch is not covered by tests!

    Trace begun at /var/repositories/koha/Koha/Object.pm line 398
    Koha::Object::AUTOLOAD('Koha::Patron=HASH(0x8d10e08)') called at /var/repositories/koha/
    circ/pendingreserves.pl line 71

Is it the behaviour you were looking for ?
As I don't know what you expect I prefer not signing it.

Any opinion on that ? Should I open a new bug ?

This method is not supported ? If you only replace a few words, please add a QA follow-up?

Awesome work all, thank you.
Comment 11 Jonathan Druart 2018-06-01 16:58:50 UTC
We need it to be backported to help debug!

Go forth and debug all the things :)

I choose not to backport to 17.05.x, I focus on major and blocker
