Description Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2020-05-14 21:34:51 UTC
To recreate:
1 - Make sure FinesMode is on, RenewAccruingItemWhenPaid is off
2 - Checkout an item to a patron and make it overdue (can backdate the checkout)
3 - Make sure the itemtype has fines that will be charged
4 - Charge the fines:
     Set finesMode = production
     perl misc/cronjobs/fines.pl -v
5 - Check the fine appears on the patrons account
6 - Pay off the fine
7 - Receive alert after payment that reads: "The fines on the following items were paid off, renewal results are displayed below:
No title ( ): Not renewed - Unknown error"

Looks like we're not properly hiding that alert when RenewAccruingItemWhenPaid is off? So it's reporting that nothing was renewed?
Comment 1 Katrin Fischer 2020-05-15 06:31:39 UTC
Adding the original bug introducing the feature in depends on - this will also help to get the developers and original testers informed :)
Comment 2 Donna 2021-03-24 14:47:14 UTC
While there is not a problem with the functionality, it is very confusing for users to see a string of error messages like this!
Comment 3 Mark 2021-03-24 14:55:32 UTC
Can confirm that our librarians double take every time they see this erroneous message. Thanks for any work to get this fixed!

Bug 25508: Do not attempt renewals if syspref is disabled

In the case where 'RenewAccruingItemWhenPaid' is disabled we were still
testing whether the fine item was renewable ragerdless.

This has two issued:

1. A minor performance issue with us running more code than required.
2. The return value from renew_item when the syspref is disabled was
   empty, but it would still get appended to the 'renew_outcomes' array
   which results in some 'dirty' messages in the UI.

Test plan
1 - Make sure FinesMode is on, RenewAccruingItemWhenPaid is off
2 - Checkout an item to a patron and make it overdue (can backdate the
    checkout)
3 - Make sure the itemtype has fines that will be charged
4 - Charge the fines:
    Set finesMode = production
    perl misc/cronjobs/fines.pl -v
5 - Check the fine appears on the patrons account
6 - Pay off the fine
7 - Receive alert after payment that reads: "The fines on
    the following items were paid off, renewal results are
    displayed below:
        No title ( ): Not renewed - Unknown error"
8 - Apply the patch
9 - Repeat steps 1 through 6 and note that you no longer trigger the
    error message.

Oops.. I'd meant to walk David through this one.. seems I completely forgot to do that.

Patch attached as I noticed it today by coincidence too.

Bug 25508: Only return renewal outcomes to the controller

There are a few cases where the `renew_item` method in
Koha::Account::Line will return `undef`. For these cases, we should not
pass the error up the chain to the controllers as it leads to malformed
error messages in the UI.

Test plan
1 - Make sure FinesMode is on, RenewAccruingItemWhenPaid is off
2 - Checkout an item to a patron and make it overdue (can backdate the
    checkout)
3 - Make sure the itemtype has fines that will be charged

Test plan:
1. Enable system preference ExportCircHistory
2. Create an item bundle (see bug 28854 comment 458)
3. Check out the item bundle
4. In the checkouts table, check the box in column "Export",
   choose export format 'MARC with items', check "Export items bundle
   contents" and click on "Export" button
   The exported file should contain the biblio and item created at step
   2, but also the biblio and items that are part of the bundle
