Description Andrew Isherwood 2022-04-07 11:31:49 UTC
It should be possible for the Interlibrary Loans module to inform a user when a request supplier makes a pertinent change to an outstanding request.

Scenario defined by customer to be fulfilled by this bug:
- A user places an ILL request for a journal article via the RapidILL backend.
- RapidILL fulfil the request with an electronic resource.
- The user is notified of the request fulfilment via their chosen communication method, the notice contains the link and password required to access the requested resource.

The intended solution will add a mechanism to allow Koha ILL to periodically check outstanding requests with suppliers for updates and act accordingly.

As an aside, there is a known customer requirement for notices to be sent when requests are modified locally, this requirement will be catered for in the design of the solution.

Details of the intended implementation:
- An ILL backend, or core Koha ILL, can define one or more "update processors", these are functions that can perform an action when supplied with an update meeting the criteria they're interested in
- An ILL request will be given the ability to obtain its latest status with the supplier, known as an "update"
- "Updates" can then be passed to "update processors" that are interested in them, which can then perform whatever actions they wish.

Generic 
- Core Koha ILL will provide:
  - An object to encapsulate supplier updates
  - A base class from which "update processors" can be subclassed
  - Functions to gather updates from backends and orchestrate the processing
  - A notice template which will be used to send update notices
  - A shell script that can be run to initiate the process

For the customer use case defined above:
- The RapidILL backend will:
  - Provide the ability to retrieve the latest update from the RapidILL API
  - Define a SendArticleLink processor

Comment 7 Andrew Isherwood 2022-04-19 12:42:43 UTC
TEST PLAN:

This test plan tests the provided functionality by using a mocked update supplied by the FreeForm backend. The command line script is run which will look for requests that match the supplied criteria, obtain a mocked update from them, and process the update. The processor simply prints the message supplied in the update to the screen.

- Ensure you have Interlibrary Loans turned on and have the FreeForm backend installed. It is important you are using the "bug_30484_mock_request_update" branch of the FreeForm backend as this enables the backend to provide mock updates that this functionality uses.
- Create a FreeForm ILL request
- On the "Manage ILL request" page for the newly created request, click the "Confirm request" button, thereby setting the request status to "Requested"
- Run the script, in the "misc" directory, run:

  perl process_ill_updates.pl --statuses REQ --backend FreeForm

- TEST: You should see the following:
  - The message "This is a mock update from the FreeForm backend"
  - The following run report:

Run details:
Request ID: xxx
  Processing by: FreeForm
  Number of processors run: 1
  Processor details:
    Processor name: Print to STDERR
    Success messages: PRINTED
    Error messages:

- If the above messages were printed, the test plan can be considered successful.

1) Typo in updatedatabase: Kind Regards > Kind regards
I've added a follow-up patch fixing this globally.

2) +=head3 append_to_note.
I see it only appears in Illrequest.pm and has a test, but not sure how it relates to the functionality of this patch set?

3) Worked through the test plan and it works as described. The changes for messaging preferences appear to be complete, but we should start thinking about a way to make the list of message options configurable as not all libraries will offer all notices (totally a separate bug of course).

Now we need another QA for the dependent bug 28909 to unlock!
