Description Jonathan Druart 2020-04-28 12:53:17 UTC
If we call Koha::Libraries->delete but Koha::Library->delete exists (ie. Koha::Object->delete is overriden), then we Koha::Objects->delete will be called and the overriden will not be executed.

Bug 25303: Make Koha::Objects->delete loop on the object set

If we call Koha::Libraries->delete but Koha::Library->delete exists
(ie. Koha::Object->delete is overridden), then we Koha::Objects->delete
will be called and the overridden will not be executed.

This patch suggests to test if the method is overridden (using
Class::Inspector->function_exists). If so we loop on the different
objects of the set in a transaction and call the overridden ->delete method.

Existing tests widely cover this change.

    subtest 'Return same values as DBIx::Class' => sub {
Comment 2 Martin Renvoize 2020-04-28 13:12:19 UTC
This is more similar to bug 23185 than bug 21761.

For performance reasons I'm not so sure about always forcing a loop rather than allowing a fast path.. I think I would rather see checks for the corresponding 'delete' method in the Koha::Things class whenever we detect that a Koha::Thing has had a delete method added or updated.

That way, we only require the loop to take place for Koha::Objects where an in-code delete trigger has indeed been added.
Comment 3 Tomás Cohen Arazi 2020-04-28 13:20:06 UTC
It all comes down to the DB triggers discussion...
I agree we could enforce people overriding Koha::Thing->delete to take care of implementing and overriden Koha::Things->delete that is conformant to the expected behaviour.

Having discussed this I see Tomas and I both missed the Class::Inspector use.. happy to signoff now I've confirmed this works as I wanted.

Don't push this, the tests never finish (infinite loop).

Good catch, I wonder why it passed for me.

Bug 25303: (QA follow-up) Fix test construction

The test called ->delete on the resultset directly, which is not the
same when we already called ->next and the Koha::Hold->delete won't be
called as there's no ->next hold.

I took the oportunity to wrap the subtest in its own transaction and
build its own data to avoid interference between tests...

Comment 13 Tomás Cohen Arazi 2020-04-29 21:51:15 UTC
@RM, the follow-up fixes the failing tests in master. It might be relevant to document the behaviour change, whlst I think it was just a bad construction of the test in this case.
Comment 14 Jonathan Druart 2020-04-30 08:23:12 UTC
This follow-up is doing this:

-    $holds->delete;
+    $biblio->holds->delete;

I was not expected such behaviour changes, it's not as easy as fixing the tests. Did you check the occurrences in the code?

Maybe we should call ->reset before the loop instead?

@ Koha/Objects.pm:185 @ sub delete {
     if ( Class::Inspector->function_exists( $self->object_class, 'delete' ) ) {
         my $objects_deleted;
         $self->_resultset->result_source->schema->txn_do( sub {
+            $self->reset;
             while ( my $o = $self->next ) {
                 $o->delete;
                 $objects_deleted++;

I haven't. But that's why I highlighted the behavior change. I'm sure there wouldn't be placed in which we do the same we did on those tests.

> Maybe we should call ->reset before the loop instead?

I think we should. We should be consistent with DBIC behaviour and the code change you propose looks correct. The good thing is that you have a good schema for the regression tests that are needed.
