Description Nick Clemens 2020-01-02 16:05:28 UTC
Error is:
Can't call method "notforloan" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Reserves.pm line 1199.


C4::Reserves::IsAvailableForItemLevelRequest:

1198     my $itemtype = $item->effective_itemtype;
1199     my $notforloan_per_itemtype = Koha::ItemTypes->find($itemtype)->notforloan;

We should check that we found an itemtype before calling notforloan

Patch works as described in test plan. Thank you!
Comment 4 Jonathan Druart 2020-01-21 15:24:31 UTC
Nick, did not we (more or less) agree that we should not test if items had valid item type?
See bug 21842.

Although I still intuitively feel that such tests are appropriate, I also had the impression that we agreed not to add such tests everywhere.
If this still needs discussion, please change status accordingly. It would be wise to have a specific coding guideline for this, Jonathan.

I've added an item about this to the next dev meeting agenda:
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Development_IRC_meeting_20_May_2020#Agenda

Please feel free to add any arguments to it! Goal would be to move towards a general guideline here.

Search for "bug 24331".

We agreed on making it mandatory, see bug 25449.
