Description Kyle M Hall (khall) 2020-10-08 15:13:57 UTC
The current transfer limits editor works great for Koha instances with small numbers of branches. However, for consortiums with dozens or even hundreds of libraries, the editor does not work well or effectively.

We should provide an "advanced" editor displays all to/from library combinations in a grid and allows them to be edited in a manner somewhat similar to the transport cost matrix editor.

Hi Kyle, 

I have posted 2 small follow-ups, but then got stuck on an issue:

Whenever you click any of the buttons ("Uncheck all" , "Check all") a second time, all the buttons get greyed out and no other action can be performed until the page is reloaded.

Bug 26633: (QA follow-up) Tests on error condition

This patch highlights a problem with the try/catch conditions in the
ad() controlled method. Tests are added, and the controller is fixed to
reflect the right behaviour.

To test:
1. Apply this patch
2. Run:
   $ kshell
  k$ prove t/db_dependent/api/v1/transfer_limits.t
=> SUCCESS: Tests pass! 409 is returned as appropriate!

Bug 26633: Remove jquery.checkboxes.min.js include

No longer exists and not used in this template
Comment 28 Jonathan Druart 2020-11-05 10:04:10 UTC
1. Please provide documentation for the API

2. There is no error handling when the page is loaded. I first tried with D11 (which has the REST API broken) and the "loading..." was running forever, the table was loaded but without any checkboxes.
Maybe we should not display anything in that case.

3. I am a bit concern that there is no "save" or "undo" button. If you click "Check all" or "Uncheck all", you may have lost your work!
It's not blocker but worth noting it here.

4. There is no way to bookmark or share the URL to display a given table. That would have been useful. Is that something we could implement easily?

5.

I've added around 30 libraries and it creates a huge table. I am not sure we are answering the need as the table is not readable easily if you are starting to scroll. Maybe it would have been useful to have "floating th"'s, which are always displayed when you scroll.
Not blocker however, but feel free to submit if you think it would be useful.

I'm not sure why we'd do this here, when we don't do it for any other ajax table in Koha.

I really like that idea! I'll give it a shot but I might need some help from Lucas or Owen ;)

I think the other tables (with the checkout list in mind) will raise a DataTable alert box if the svc script/REST API route does not return something valid (or 500).
So we have a the interface telling us something went wrong.

Bug 26633: Add advanced editor for transfer limits

The current transfer limits editor works great for Koha instances with
small numbers of branches. However, for consortiums with dozens or even
hundreds of libraries, the editor does not work well or effectively.

We should provide an "advanced" editor displays all to/from library
combinations in a grid and allows them to be edited in a manner somewhat
similar to the transport cost matrix editor.

Test Plan:
1) Apply this patch
2) Browse to the transfer limits editor
3) Click the new "Switch to advanced editor" link
4) Select a collection code/item type to edit limits for
5) Test the "Check all" function
6) Test the "Uncheck all" function
7) Test the "Check" column function
8) Test the "Uncheck" column function
9) Test the "Check" row function
10) Test the "Uncheck" row function
11) Test individual checkboxes/table cells

I've checked and the YAML is valid, so I think those are false flags from the QA script!
Comment 51 Jonathan Druart 2021-02-10 06:44:05 UTC
How did you check, Kyle?

The script is only returning the error from YAML::LoadFile

YAML Error: Can't parse double quoted string
   Code: YAML_PARSE_ERR_BAD_DOUBLE
   Line: 149
   Document: 1
 at /usr/share/perl5/YAML/Loader.pm line 574.

I used yamllint. Looks like I'll have to do some more digging!

So the problem is the YAML module is insufficient for running this test. I would recommend we switch to YAML::XS. The current YAML module is being deprecated anyway and is being move to YAML::Old.

root@kohadevbox:koha(bug26633-qa)$ perl -e "use YAML qw(LoadFile); LoadFile('api/v1/swagger/paths/transfer_limits.yaml');"
YAML Error: Invalid element in map
   Code: YAML_LOAD_ERR_BAD_MAP_ELEMENT
   Line: 8
   Document: 1
 at /usr/share/perl5/YAML/Loader.pm line 350.
root@kohadevbox:koha(bug26633-qa)$ perl -e "use YAML::XS qw(LoadFile); LoadFile('api/v1/swagger/paths/transfer_limits.yaml');"
root@kohadevbox:koha(bug26633-qa)$ 

Basically, YAML only supports YAML 1.0, where YAML::XS ( and Mojolicious::Plugin::OpenAPI ) support YAML 1.1.

I would recommend as a first step that QohA::File::YAML be updated to use YAML::XS as a first step.

It's https://gitlab.com/koha-community/qa-test-tools

IMO we should first switch to YAML::XS in Koha code before adding it to the QA script.
Comment 56 Katrin Fischer 2021-02-15 21:07:58 UTC
Reran the QA tools with the dependency applied, but still get:

 FAIL	api/v1/swagger/paths/transfer_limits.yaml
   OK	  git manipulation
   FAIL	  yaml_valid
		YAML Error: Invalid element in map


Do I need to install something new or do we need an update to the QA test tools?

The changes from this merge request must be applied to the qa-test-tools repo:

Enhancement not pushed to 20.11.x
Comment 73 Adolfo Rodríguez Taboada 2024-09-09 11:00:21 UTC
I am working with a client that has 447 branches and 25 itemtypes. Most transfers between branches are not allowed, so there are almost 5 million records in the branch_transfer_limits table, 199342 records by itemtype.

The advanced editor runs out of memory in Chrome, producing errors that range from freezing the computer to crashing the tab or the browser. In Firefox, it starts loading the page but it doesn't end loading. This is without selecting the itemtype, so it's only building the default view to hide it.

In the simple editor, I made changes in their installation of Koha so that instead of checking every combination with a SQL sentence (SELECT * FROM branch_transfer_limits WHERE toBranch = ? AND fromBranch = ? AND $limitType = ?), it checks all the limits for the branch with only one SQL sentence (SELECT * FROM branch_transfer_limits WHERE fromBranch = ?) and stores the result in a hash. This way the simple editor works properly for big networks like this one.

I haven't found a way to apply a similar improvement in the performance of the advanced editor.
