Description Jonathan Druart 2023-01-04 08:34:46 UTC
Regression of bug 28413, bug 30410 added a "use Koha::Plugins" statement at the top of Koha::BackgroundJob, and so all Koha module are loaded by the worker on startup.

Bug 32561: Add test

This test does not seem reliable enough, how could we improve it?

I guess it will fail randomly, especially if ran in parallel with other
processes/tests.

Bug 32561: Test loaded modules for background_jobs_worker.pl

xt/memory_check.t
bash: xt/memory_check.t: Permission denied
root@master:/usr/share/koha# chmod 755 xt/memory_check.t

Argument "/usr/share/koha/misc/background_jobs_worker.pl" isn't numeric in numeric gt (>) at xt/memory_check.t line 31.
ok 1 - background_jobs_worker.pl is consuming /usr/share/koha/misc/background_jobs_worker.pl in memory

Warning needs a fix? The test description of A consumes A is weird.

I would personally only go for pushing the first patch. The two others seem not really needed. But thats just my first impression..

Yes, same feeling for me. But this problem will come up again if there is no test :-/

That's possible although I think plugin support was one of the last pieces we needed to add? 

Perhaps it would be an idea to add some text to the "use <module>" area like "DO NOT ADD KOHA MODULES HERE OR YOU WILL FACE JONATHAN'S WRATH! See BZ 32561!"
Comment 10 David Cook 2023-01-16 04:18:36 UTC
Like I asked in https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=30410#c18, do we have any example plugins that we can use to verify this change?

I don't see any obvious ones listed at https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_plugins

Please check.

Please adjust.
