Description Victor Grousset/tuxayo 2018-08-01 19:18:13 UTC
Error example:

Can't call method "title" on an undefined value at /home/koha/src/tools/batchMod.pl line 591, <$fh> line 6.


== Test plan ==
1. Create a file named valid-itemnumbers.csv with valid itemnumbers
   With the following structure:
5456
5495
6546
2. Go to Staff › Tools › Batch item modification
3. Tick "Item number file"
4. Upload the file (click "continue")
5. See that it works
6. Create a file named invalid-itemnumbers.csv with invalid itemnumbers
7. Retry
8. See that it fails
Comment 1 Victor Grousset/tuxayo 2018-08-01 19:19:02 UTC
Actually just one invalid itemnumber is enough.
Comment 2 Victor Grousset/tuxayo 2018-08-01 19:21:04 UTC
I'm not sure to work on this. Anyone can feel free to take it.
Comment 3 Victor Grousset/tuxayo 2018-08-01 19:22:27 UTC

Because $biblio is undef
Because $itemdata is undef (or empty I forgot)
Comment 4 Victor Grousset/tuxayo 2018-08-01 19:23:52 UTC
Note that when uploading a barcode file, there is an error handling logic which displays the invalid numbers. So the fix could be built from there.

Bug 21141: Handle non-existent itemnumbers in batch item modification/deletion

The itemnumber list passed from a file in the batch item
modification/deletion tools is not tested.
Like barcodes we should make sure they refer to a valid items in the DB.

Test plan:
- Create a file with barcodes, itemnumbers and random lines
- Use the batch item modification and deletion tools with this file
You should see a table with a list of invalid barcodes and itemnumbers.

Without this patch you got the following error:
Can't call method "title" on an undefined value at /home/vagrant/kohaclone/tools/batchMod.pl line 580
