Description Fridolin Somers 2018-11-15 08:34:34 UTC
Like Bug 19194 some other code calls $itemtype->value without testing the object is defined.
Itemtype should always be defined but its better not fall into error page for that.
Comment 1 Fridolin Somers 2018-11-15 09:23:45 UTC
I've looked with :
$ git grep --name-only '$itemtype->description'
acqui/basketgroup.pl
acqui/orderreceive.pl
admin/itemtypes.pl
catalogue/getitem-ajax.pl
circ/transferstoreceive.pl
labels/label-item-search.pl
members/summary-print.pl
opac/opac-shelves.pl
virtualshelves/shelves.pl

No problem '$itemtype->imageurl' and '$itemtype->notforloan' calls.

Bug 21842: test Koha::ItemType in defined in patron summary print

Like Bug 19194 calls on $itemtype->value must test the object is defined.
This patch fixes members/summary-print.pl

Test plan :
1) Define system preference item-level_itypes on "specific item"
2) Define in framework a subfield of items field : mapped on items.itype and not mandatory
3) Create an item without value on this subfield
4) Go on a patron page
5) Checkout this item
6) Click on "Print" > "Print summary"
7) Without patch you get the error :
Can't call method "description" on an undefined value
8) With patch you see the itemtype description

Comment 5 Mark Tompsett 2018-11-22 03:38:15 UTC
Shouldn't the values be set to SOMETHING even if itemtype is undefined?

$foo->{key} = defined $bar ? $bar->baz : q{};
and
$foo{key} = defined $bar ? $bar->baz : q{};

Feel free to switch back to needs sign off after answering/fixing this.

Very good point.

Isn't this 952$y by default when you create a new framework from Default?
(See the Advanced Constraints) or is this that mapped thing elsewhere?

Indeed it is 952$y :
y 	Koha item type 	Tab:10, | Koha field: items.itype, Not repeatable, Not mandatory, | Auth value:itemtypes,
Comment 12 Jonathan Druart 2018-12-17 16:13:58 UTC
As I have explained on the list in a previous thread (http://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2017-July/043841.html) I am against the idea of testing for data inconsistencies at code level.

I have worked on providing a script to catch such inconsistencies in the DB (see bug 21150), the idea is more to not hide them and compel people to run the script to make sure they have correct data, and that Koha will behave correctly.
