Description Colin Campbell 2020-11-10 14:18:55 UTC
It is possible that a Carriage Return may occur in a field derived from a Koha note or shelfmark. If it persists in the message it can cause some parser software to truncate the message. Add a safeguard that no CRs persist in the generated message

Patch to remove unwanted CRs etc from ORDER message

Substitution should remove any unwanted characters from message in final formatting.

In production at a site who helpfully(?) were adding CR after all notes and in some shelfmarks.

Trivial code change

Bug 26989: Safeguard Order Messages from unwanted characters

Carriage returns in notes were causing a supplier's parser
to truncate Order messages received from Koha.
Have removed those and also made a global removal of CR, Line feeds
and tabs - the latter two having the possibility of causing
errors in the future

There was no test plan to follow, but the patch appears to be making
sensible changes. If someone wants to provide a thorough test plan I can
re-test.

Grr, this is another one where I've spent some time trying to work out how to write a unit test for the change but completely failed.. leaving for another QA person to take a look and comment.
