Description Tomás Cohen Arazi (tcohen) 2021-03-25 12:23:59 UTC
In the case of non-repeatable attributes, if you are adding a new attribute, the check works correctly.

But if you are editing an existing attribute, it fails, because it doesn't exclude it's own id from the search :-/

Bug 28031: Avoid wrong exception on saving updated attribute

In the case a non-repeatable attribute for a patron is being updated
(its value) the routines that check the type is repeatable should
exclude its own id from the search for things to work.

This patch solves that.

To test:
1. Apply the regression tests patch
2. Run:
   $ kshell
  k$ prove t/db_dependent/Koha/Patron/Attribute.t
=> FAIL: Tests explode! An unexpected exception is thrown!
3. Apply this patch
4. Repeat 2
=> SUCCESS: Tests pass!

Bug 28031: (follow-up) Retrieve type only once

The current implementation of store+check_repeatable+check_unique_id
notably retrieves the related Koha::Patron::Attribute::Type object three
times.

This can be easily solved by retrieving it once and reusing. This patch
does that.

This changes the signature for the helper methods.

To test:
1. Run:
   $ kshell
  k$ prove t/db_dependent/Koha/Patron/Attribute.t
=> SUCCESS: Tests pass!
2. Apply this patch
3. Repeat 1
=> SUCCESS: Tests pass!
4. Verify the old _check_repeatable method is not used anywhere
   $ git grep _check_repeatable
=> SUCCESS: It is not!
5. Verify check_unique_id is not used anywhere, so no risk changing the
   signature
   $ git grep check_unique_id
=> SUCCESS: It is safe to update it!

Bug 28031: (follow-up) Clarify check methods

The check methods were positioned under the 'Internal methods' section
of the meodule but are used externally.

It also felt strange to have a noop or die method. Instead, I propose
renaming them to `repeatable_ok` and `unique_ok` and returning a
boolean denoting their state.

We should cache the 'type' instead of passing it around. That way we're
not changing the signature further for external users of the methods.

Why Koha::Patron::Attribute->type does not look like

  return Koha::Patron::Attribute::Type->_new_from_dbic( $self->_result->code );

3. Additionally I don't agree with the "cache", simply because the following code will be wrong:

  $attr->type($new_code)->store;
  my $type = $attr->type; # will get the old type

I didn't intend to change the method inline, I was tempted to, though. I thought of doing it on a separate bug, also adding the 'type' relationship so it can be followed through on embedding (API).

I agree caching is not as trivial. I changed the methods signature to accept the type to avoid fetching things twice, but then Martin found some uses of the methods in a controller so it felt like changing the signature would required changes outside.

Maybe an alternate patch making the param optional is a better approach?

my ($self, $type) = @_;
my $THE_type = $type // $self->type;

Bug 28031: (QA follow-up) Adapt controllers and class

This patch adapts the *memberentry.pl controllers so they pass the $type
parameter when calling unique_ok. The parameter would still be retrieved
from the DB if not passed, and then fetched again for reporting back
errors... So it makes sense to do it once and stick with this approach.

The $type parameter is made mandatory, and exceptions are thrown if
missing. Tests added only for this exception situation, as the other
cases are already covered in the store() tests.

Bonus: this patch also fixes a mistake made on a late follow-up for bug
27857 on the tests.

To test:
1. Apply this patch
2. Run:
   $ kshell
  k$ prove t/db_dependent/Koha/Patron.t \
           t/db_dependent/Koha/Patron/Attribute*

The code looks much better without the "type" paramter passed to the *_ok methods IMO and I don't think we should care much about the additional fetch.

This is depending on a several changes that are not in stable branches. What problem do you face exactly?
