Description Katrin Fischer 2022-03-26 23:51:21 UTC
This was found testing bug 29787 so I'll copy part of the test plan here:


To test:
1. Have this on your koha-conf.xml file:

 <plugin_repos>
    <repo>
        <name>ByWater Solutions</name>
        <org_name>bywatersolutions</org_name>
        <service>github</service>
    </repo>
    <repo>
        <name>Theke Solutions</name>
        <org_name>thekesolutions</org_name>
        <service>gitlab</service>
    </repo>
    <repo>
        <name>PTFS Europe</name>
        <org_name>ptfs-europe</org_name>
        <service>github</service>
    </repo>
 </plugin_repos>

2. Restart all services:
   $ restart_all
3. Search for the term 'barclaycard'

The search will give an error:

malformed JSON string, neither tag, array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 0 (before "(end of string)") at /usr/share/perl5/JSON.pm line 190

It might be an issue with the plugin, but we should catch errors in a nicer way for the users.

Comment 2 Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2022-03-27 13:15:57 UTC
Thanks for filing this! We've known for a while that searching for "edifact" doesn't work, but haven't gotten around to putting a bug in. I know it used to just return no results, rather than a 500 error. I don't know when that changed.

Bug 30367: Skip processing if we don't get releases

Some repos don't have releases, and this seems to break things as get returns an empty
response. Calling from_json on this is the error

This simply skips the bad responses to avoid the error:

To test:
1. Have this on your koha-conf.xml file:

 <plugin_repos>
    <repo>
        <name>ByWater Solutions</name>
        <org_name>bywatersolutions</org_name>
        <service>github</service>
    </repo>
    <repo>
        <name>Theke Solutions</name>
        <org_name>thekesolutions</org_name>
        <service>gitlab</service>
    </repo>
    <repo>
        <name>PTFS Europe</name>
        <org_name>ptfs-europe</org_name>
        <service>github</service>
    </repo>
 </plugin_repos>

2. Restart all services:
   $ restart_all
3. Search for the term 'barclaycard'

The search will give an error:

malformed JSON string, neither tag, array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 0 (before "(end of string)") at /usr/share/perl5/JSON.pm line 190
4. Apply patch
5. Repeat
6. No error

Note: The barclaycard plugin won't install even though it is returned as of this note - the plugin needs an update I believe, I don't think it's a Koha issue

Testing notes (using KTD):

1. To search (step 3), go to Administration > Plugins > Manage plugins.

2. Searching for 'barclaycard' didn't generate an error, but searching for 'edifact' did.
Comment 6 Jonathan Druart 2023-05-03 07:45:18 UTC
You are fixing for github, not gitlab.

Bug 30367: (follow-up) Same adjustment for gitlab

This adds the same update for gitlab code. I was unable to trigger the error,
however, I confirm searching for 'PayPal' returns a result after this patch
as well as before.
