Bug 28445: Add the capability to provide more info to the background job detail view

We already had the need for that, when bibliographic records are
modified in batch we wanted to add a "Add to list" feature, and so pass
a list of lists/virtual shelves to the template.

Here we will want to pass the infos of the items that have been modified
to display a table.

Bug 28445: Use the task queue for the batch delete and update items tool

Here we go!

Disclaimer: this patch is huge and does many things, but splitting it in
several chunks would be time consuming and painful to rebase. However it
adds many tests and isolate/refactor code to make it way more reusable.

This patchset will make the "batch item modification" and "batch item
deletion" features use the task queue (reminder: Since bug 28158, and so
21.05.00, we do no longer use the old "background job" functionality and
the user does not get any info about the progress of the job).

More than that, more of the code to build an item form and a list of
items is now isolated in module (.pm) and include files (.inc)

We are reusing the changes made by bug 27526 that simplifies the way we
edit/create items (no more unecessary serialization Koha > MARC > MARCXML
> XML > HTML)

New module:
* Koha::BackgroundJob::BatchDeleteItem
    Subclass for process item deletion in batch
* Koha::BackgroundJob::BatchUpdateItem
    Subclass for process item modification in batch
* Koha::Item::Attributes
    We needed an object to represent item's attributes that are not
    mapped with a koha field (aka "more subfields xml")
    This module will help us to create the marcxml from a hashref and the
    reverse.
* Koha::UI::Form::Builder::Item
    The code that was used to build the add/edit item form is
    centralised in this module. In conjunction with the
    subfields_for_item BLOCK (from html_helpers.inc) it will be really
    easy to reuse this code in other places where the item form is used
    (acquisition and serials modules)
* Koha::UI::Table::Builder::Items
    Same as previously for the table. We are now using this table from 3
    different places (batch item mod, batch item del, backgroung job
    detail view) and the code is only in one place.
    To use with items_table_batchmod BLOCK (still from html_helpers.inc)

This patch is fixing some bugs about repeatable subfields and regex. A UI
change will reflect the limitation: if you want to apply a regex on a
subfield you cannot add several subfields for the same subfield code.

Test plan:

Prepare the ground:
- Make sure you are always using a bibliographic/item record using the framework
you are modifying!
- Add some subfields for items that are not mapped with a koha field
(note that you can use 'é' for more fun, don't try more funny
characters)
- Make some subfields (mapped and not mapped with a kohafield)
repeatable
- Add default values to some of your subfields

There are 4 main screens to test:
1. Add/edit item form
The behaviour should be the same before and after this patch.
See test plan from bug 27526.
Those 2 prefs must be tested:
    * SubfieldsToAllowForRestrictedEditing
    * SubfieldsToUseWhenPrefill

2. Batch modification
a. Fill some values, play with repeatable and regex.
Note that the behaviour in master was buggy, only the first value was modified by the regex:
    * With subfield = "a | b"
    1 value added with "new"
    => "new | b"

    * With subfield = "a | b"
    2 new fields "new1","new2"
    => "new2 | b"

Important note: For repeatable subfields, a regex will apply on the subfields in
the "concatenated form". To apply the regex on all the different subfields of a given
subfield code you must use the "g" modifier.
This could be improved later, but keep in mind that it's not a regression or behaviour
change.

b. Play with the "Populate fields with default values from default framework" checkbox

c. Use this tool to modify items and play with the different sysprefs that
interfer with it:
    * NewItemsDefaultLocation
    * SubfieldsToAllowForRestrictedBatchmod
    * MaxItemsToDisplayForBatchMod
    * MaxItemsToProcessForBatchMod

3. Batch deletion
a. Batch delete some items
b. Check items out and try to delete them
c. Use the "Delete records if no items remain" checkbox to delete
bibliographic records without remaining items.
d. Play with the following sysprefs and confirm that it works as
expected:
    * MaxItemsToDisplayForBatchDel
e. Stress the tool: Go to the confirmation screen with items that can be
deleted, don't request the job to be processed right away, but check the
item out before.

4. Background job detail view
You must have seen it already if you are curious and tested the above.
When a new modification or deletion batch is requested, the confirmation
screen will tell you that the job has enqueued. A link to the progress
of the job can be followed.
On this screen you will be able to see the result of the job once it's
fully processed.

QA notes:
* There are some FIXME's that are not blocker in my opinion. Feel free to
discuss them if you have suggestions.
* Do we still need MaxItemsToProcessForBatchMod?
* Prior to this patchset we had a "Return to the cataloging module" link
if we went from the cataloguing module and that the biblio was deleted.
We cannot longer know if the biblio will be deleted but we could display
a "Go to the cataloging module" link on the "job has been enqueued"
screen regardless from where we were coming from.

This is not correct, any 4-byte character is supposed to work.

Should that be 1-4 byte character since UTF-8 characters are all between 1-4 bytes long?

Comment 17 Kyle M Hall 2021-09-02 13:10:12 UTC
I'm a bit concerned by the way this patch set is handling the UI. A UI form builder module feels pretty regressive. I'm even seeing CSS embedded in a Perl module, which feels like it should be a hard no.

What I'm seeing here is re-enforces the problem that we are coming up on in Koha over and over. Scalability. For 20 years Koha has been processing all data monolithically on the back end, and then presenting it to the user on page load. This worked fine when Koha was being used by small libraries. Now, Koha is being adopted by huge library system, and those designs that were great in the past are showing their age. Time and time again we find areas of Koha where a page simply cannot load because a library has so much data.

That is why we as a community chose to implement a REST API. This is what allows us to make pages load quickly and dynamically using DataTables and other tools.

I guess my question is, why? Why add a Perl module that's so tightly integrated with html generation that it has CSS embedded in it's code? Why not use the API? Why not make smarter objects and make cleaner TT templates?
Comment 18 Jonathan Druart 2021-09-02 16:13:29 UTC
Thanks for your input.
These patches are more from perfect, I agree. But the idea is to improve the current situation. And I think this move goes toward the following goals: isolate the code, centralise it, make it more robust by providing tests.
These item form and table are used in several places over the code, and having this code in a module makes it reusable easily.
After this move the idea is to reuse it where this code is duplicated.
Once everything will use the same code it will be easier to move to a better solution.

*Far* from perfect! :D
Comment 20 Jonathan Druart 2021-09-09 09:54:15 UTC
As I didn't get a reply I will try to provide a more complete, and maybe more convincing, answer.

I would like to highlight that those patches are not adding *new* code to Koha::UI. The code there is moved from current code that is duplicated in several places: additem and batchmod so far (for the add item form and the items table).

To make the item batchmod tool use the task queue I had to reuse the same code from batchmod.pl, and instead of reusing the code as it, I preferred to make it more robust, and reusable from other places. The code is now in a module, covered by test, and centralized in a single place.

The next move should be to reuse the same code (methods and BLOCK from inc) from the remaining places (acq and serial, detail pages, etc.)

If we reach this point we will have all our add item forms and items tables using the exact same code, covered by tests. That will make any other improvements easier to implement.

Please see this as a continuous improvement of the current situation, not as the perfect solution we want to have at the end. I totally agree we should be using the REST API routes to achieve that goal, but we are not ready at all for that.
Building the table like it's done here is not achievable right now using the REST API, and was not the point anyway.

We need the item batch mod tool back running in background mode for 21.11.
Comment 21 Kyle M Hall 2021-09-10 12:47:26 UTC
(In reply to Jonathan Druart from comment #20)

I understand your intentions. I'm sure we have as many possible solutions as we do developers. If Koha and its community are to continue to be successful we need to adapt as technology and trends change. It's important that we keep that in mind is all.

I have reservations but this is definitely an improvement nevertheless.

Bug 28445: Use the task queue for the batch delete and update items tool

Here we go!

Disclaimer: this patch is huge and does many things, but splitting it in
several chunks would be time consuming and painful to rebase. However it
adds many tests and isolate/refactor code to make it way more reusable.

This patchset will make the "batch item modification" and "batch item
deletion" features use the task queue (reminder: Since bug 28158, and so
21.05.00, we do no longer use the old "background job" functionality and
the user does not get any info about the progress of the job).

More than that, more of the code to build an item form and a list of
items is now isolated in module (.pm) and include files (.inc)

We are reusing the changes made by bug 27526 that simplifies the way we
edit/create items (no more unecessary serialization Koha > MARC > MARCXML
> XML > HTML)

New module:
* Koha::BackgroundJob::BatchDeleteItem
    Subclass for process item deletion in batch
* Koha::BackgroundJob::BatchUpdateItem
    Subclass for process item modification in batch
* Koha::Item::Attributes
    We needed an object to represent item's attributes that are not
    mapped with a koha field (aka "more subfields xml")
    This module will help us to create the marcxml from a hashref and the
    reverse.
* Koha::UI::Form::Builder::Item
    The code that was used to build the add/edit item form is
    centralised in this module. In conjunction with the
    subfields_for_item BLOCK (from html_helpers.inc) it will be really
    easy to reuse this code in other places where the item form is used
    (acquisition and serials modules)
* Koha::UI::Table::Builder::Items
    Same as previously for the table. We are now using this table from 3
    different places (batch item mod, batch item del, backgroung job
    detail view) and the code is only in one place.
    To use with items_table_batchmod BLOCK (still from html_helpers.inc)

This patch is fixing some bugs about repeatable subfields and regex. A UI
change will reflect the limitation: if you want to apply a regex on a
subfield you cannot add several subfields for the same subfield code.

Test plan:

Prepare the ground:
- Make sure you are always using a bibliographic/item record using the framework
you are modifying!
- Add some subfields for items that are not mapped with a koha field
(note that you can use 'é' for more fun, don't try more funny
characters)
- Make some subfields (mapped and not mapped with a kohafield)
repeatable
- Add default values to some of your subfields

There are 4 main screens to test:
1. Add/edit item form
The behaviour should be the same before and after this patch.
See test plan from bug 27526.
Those 2 prefs must be tested:
    * SubfieldsToAllowForRestrictedEditing
    * SubfieldsToUseWhenPrefill

2. Batch modification
a. Fill some values, play with repeatable and regex.
Note that the behaviour in master was buggy, only the first value was modified by the regex:
    * With subfield = "a | b"
    1 value added with "new"
    => "new | b"

    * With subfield = "a | b"
    2 new fields "new1","new2"
    => "new2 | b"

Important note: For repeatable subfields, a regex will apply on the subfields in
the "concatenated form". To apply the regex on all the different subfields of a given
subfield code you must use the "g" modifier.
This could be improved later, but keep in mind that it's not a regression or behaviour
change.

b. Play with the "Populate fields with default values from default framework" checkbox

c. Use this tool to modify items and play with the different sysprefs that
interfer with it:
    * NewItemsDefaultLocation
    * SubfieldsToAllowForRestrictedBatchmod
    * MaxItemsToDisplayForBatchMod
    * MaxItemsToProcessForBatchMod

3. Batch deletion
a. Batch delete some items
b. Check items out and try to delete them
c. Use the "Delete records if no items remain" checkbox to delete
bibliographic records without remaining items.
d. Play with the following sysprefs and confirm that it works as
expected:
    * MaxItemsToDisplayForBatchDel
e. Stress the tool: Go to the confirmation screen with items that can be
deleted, don't request the job to be processed right away, but check the
item out before.

4. Background job detail view
You must have seen it already if you are curious and tested the above.
When a new modification or deletion batch is requested, the confirmation
screen will tell you that the job has enqueued. A link to the progress
of the job can be followed.
On this screen you will be able to see the result of the job once it's
fully processed.

QA notes:
* There are some FIXME's that are not blocker in my opinion. Feel free to
discuss them if you have suggestions.
* Do we still need MaxItemsToProcessForBatchMod?
* Prior to this patchset we had a "Return to the cataloging module" link
if we went from the cataloguing module and that the biblio was deleted.
We cannot longer know if the biblio will be deleted but we could display
a "Go to the cataloging module" link on the "job has been enqueued"
screen regardless from where we were coming from.

Comment 35 Nick Clemens 2021-10-08 17:48:28 UTC
Notes for testing:
Edit the Default framework in order to ensure the new fields show during batch modification

Results:
Overall, things worked well, sent to background_jobs after an update, can return to batch mod

On additem.pl attempting to edit a repeated field only adds the value from the first field to all the repeated attempts, this is true on master as well

Blockers:
- Checkbox to 'delete' a subfield does not work, no changes are made
- If number of items to edit is over MaxItemsToDisplayForBatchMod, but below  MaxItemsToProcessForBatchMod the form does not show and no edits can be made
- MaxItemsToDisplayForBatchMod is not respected on background_jobs.pl, all items are displayed
- Progress may not be updated - hard to tell, was 0 until page reload loaded the full item list
- Batch deletion failed: Cannot enqueue this job. (The error was: Can't use string ("on") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at /kohadevbox/koha/Koha/BackgroundJob/BatchDeleteItem.pm line 214. , see the Koha log file for more information).

I don't understand. Can you detail please?
I made 952$u repeatable and I can create several subfields, edit, save. And it is working as I expect.

> Blockers:

Will be fixed!

> - If number of items to edit is over MaxItemsToDisplayForBatchMod, but below

Cannot recreate.
Set MaxItemsToDisplayForBatchMod=2, MaxItemsToProcessForBatchMod=4, edit 3 barcodes.

I see "Too many items (3): You are editing more than 2 items in a batch, items will not be shown." and there is the form.

> - MaxItemsToDisplayForBatchMod is not respected on background_jobs.pl, all
> items are displayed

On purpose, do you think we should restore it? In my understanding it was to avoid the table on the first screen.

> - Progress may not be updated - hard to tell, was 0 until page reload loaded
> the full item list

It actually hide something different, the transaction was not made at the correct level. I think we should commit when an item has been modified. The previous behaviour was failing the whole job if something went wrong for an item. It's fixed now.

Hum, cannot recreate that, but line 214 is: 
  214     my $delete_biblios = @{ $args->{delete_biblios} || [] };

That does not seem related at all, can you retry please?

Note that I have tested on top of the bug 27526 follow-up, not pushed yet. So results may vary.

I added new subfield "A" - the values repeat
On master I also made "o" repeatable and had same issue
With these patches "o" worked fine, "A" always repeated first value and during batch mod when I used the "A" field with two values a single record was often skipped (18 of 19 items updated), or all 19 would be updated, but 18 would repeat first value and the 19th would get the second
Something is weird there

On master the items are not shown in results, I think we should do the same here - don't show more items than allowed in a batch modify job result

I do recreate, but it's the expected behaviour I think.
If you have "A" defined for the default framework, but not for BK, then the items using BK won't have the values added to "A".

Bug 28445: Don't surround the whole batch with a transaction

It makes more sense to commit when an item has successfully been modified and
so move the transaction inside the loop.

It also fixes the progress of the whole job.

The problem was when using the background job then the cataloguing edit form.
There was a mismatch with the separator for repeatable subfields.

It's fixed now, but I am wondering if split/join on ' | ' instead of '|' is correct.

Confirmed on 21.05, we were using spaces prior to bug 27526 and this one.

Bug 28445: Use the task queue for the batch delete and update items tool

Here we go!

Disclaimer: this patch is huge and does many things, but splitting it in
several chunks would be time consuming and painful to rebase. However it
adds many tests and isolate/refactor code to make it way more reusable.

This patchset will make the "batch item modification" and "batch item
deletion" features use the task queue (reminder: Since bug 28158, and so
21.05.00, we do no longer use the old "background job" functionality and
the user does not get any info about the progress of the job).

More than that, more of the code to build an item form and a list of
items is now isolated in module (.pm) and include files (.inc)

We are reusing the changes made by bug 27526 that simplifies the way we
edit/create items (no more unecessary serialization Koha > MARC > MARCXML
> XML > HTML)

New module:
* Koha::BackgroundJob::BatchDeleteItem
    Subclass for process item deletion in batch
* Koha::BackgroundJob::BatchUpdateItem
    Subclass for process item modification in batch
* Koha::Item::Attributes
    We needed an object to represent item's attributes that are not
    mapped with a koha field (aka "more subfields xml")
    This module will help us to create the marcxml from a hashref and the
    reverse.
* Koha::UI::Form::Builder::Item
    The code that was used to build the add/edit item form is
    centralised in this module. In conjunction with the
    subfields_for_item BLOCK (from html_helpers.inc) it will be really
    easy to reuse this code in other places where the item form is used
    (acquisition and serials modules)
* Koha::UI::Table::Builder::Items
    Same as previously for the table. We are now using this table from 3
    different places (batch item mod, batch item del, backgroung job
    detail view) and the code is only in one place.
    To use with items_table_batchmod BLOCK (still from html_helpers.inc)

This patch is fixing some bugs about repeatable subfields and regex. A UI
change will reflect the limitation: if you want to apply a regex on a
subfield you cannot add several subfields for the same subfield code.

Test plan:

Prepare the ground:
- Make sure you are always using a bibliographic/item record using the framework
you are modifying!
- Add some subfields for items that are not mapped with a koha field
(note that you can use 'é' for more fun, don't try more funny
characters)
- Make some subfields (mapped and not mapped with a kohafield)
repeatable
- Add default values to some of your subfields

There are 4 main screens to test:
1. Add/edit item form
The behaviour should be the same before and after this patch.
See test plan from bug 27526.
Those 2 prefs must be tested:
    * SubfieldsToAllowForRestrictedEditing
    * SubfieldsToUseWhenPrefill

2. Batch modification
a. Fill some values, play with repeatable and regex.
Note that the behaviour in master was buggy, only the first value was modified by the regex:
    * With subfield = "a | b"
    1 value added with "new"
    => "new | b"

    * With subfield = "a | b"
    2 new fields "new1","new2"
    => "new2 | b"

Important note: For repeatable subfields, a regex will apply on the subfields in
the "concatenated form". To apply the regex on all the different subfields of a given
subfield code you must use the "g" modifier.
This could be improved later, but keep in mind that it's not a regression or behaviour
change.

b. Play with the "Populate fields with default values from default framework" checkbox

c. Use this tool to modify items and play with the different sysprefs that
interfer with it:
    * NewItemsDefaultLocation
    * SubfieldsToAllowForRestrictedBatchmod
    * MaxItemsToDisplayForBatchMod
    * MaxItemsToProcessForBatchMod

3. Batch deletion
a. Batch delete some items
b. Check items out and try to delete them
c. Use the "Delete records if no items remain" checkbox to delete
bibliographic records without remaining items.
d. Play with the following sysprefs and confirm that it works as
expected:
    * MaxItemsToDisplayForBatchDel
e. Stress the tool: Go to the confirmation screen with items that can be
deleted, don't request the job to be processed right away, but check the
item out before.

4. Background job detail view
You must have seen it already if you are curious and tested the above.
When a new modification or deletion batch is requested, the confirmation
screen will tell you that the job has enqueued. A link to the progress
of the job can be followed.
On this screen you will be able to see the result of the job once it's
fully processed.

QA notes:
* There are some FIXME's that are not blocker in my opinion. Feel free to
discuss them if you have suggestions.
* Do we still need MaxItemsToProcessForBatchMod?
* Prior to this patchset we had a "Return to the cataloging module" link
if we went from the cataloguing module and that the biblio was deleted.
We cannot longer know if the biblio will be deleted but we could display
a "Go to the cataloging module" link on the "job has been enqueued"
screen regardless from where we were coming from.

This could be improved later, but keep in mind that it's not a regression or behaviour
change.

b. Play with the "Populate fields with default values from default framework" checkbox

c. Use this tool to modify items and play with the different sysprefs that
interfer with it:
    * NewItemsDefaultLocation
    * SubfieldsToAllowForRestrictedBatchmod
    * MaxItemsToDisplayForBatchMod
    * MaxItemsToProcessForBatchMod

3. Batch deletion
a. Batch delete some items
b. Check items out and try to delete them
c. Use the "Delete records if no items remain" checkbox to delete
bibliographic records without remaining items.
d. Play with the following sysprefs and confirm that it works as
expected:
    * MaxItemsToDisplayForBatchDel
e. Stress the tool: Go to the confirmation screen with items that can be
deleted, don't request the job to be processed right away, but check the
item out before.

4. Background job detail view
You must have seen it already if you are curious and tested the above.
When a new modification or deletion batch is requested, the confirmation
screen will tell you that the job has enqueued. A link to the progress
of the job can be followed.
On this screen you will be able to see the result of the job once it's
fully processed.

QA notes:
* There are some FIXME's that are not blocker in my opinion. Feel free to
discuss them if you have suggestions.
* Do we still need MaxItemsToProcessForBatchMod?
* Prior to this patchset we had a "Return to the cataloging module" link
if we went from the cataloguing module and that the biblio was deleted.
We cannot longer know if the biblio will be deleted but we could display
a "Go to the cataloging module" link on the "job has been enqueued"
screen regardless from where we were coming from.

Bug 28445: Don't surround the whole batch with a transaction

It makes more sense to commit when an item has successfully been modified and
so move the transaction inside the loop.

It also fixes the progress of the whole job.

We needed the translated_description. It should be the same actually,
