Description Owen Leonard 2022-04-12 14:20:27 UTC
calendar.inc still contains a reference to a variable which was removed by Bug 30011. This creates an error when using Flatpickr in some contexts.

Bug 30514: Error in date format check following datepicker removal

This patch corrects the is_valid_date function in the OPAC and staff
interface so that it work correctly with Flatpickr.

To test, apply the patch and clear your browser cache if necessary.

- In the staff client, locate a bibliographic record and edit its items.
- Test that the "Date acquired" date picker works correctly and that
  there are no errors in the browser console.
- Test other date input fields to check that they still work, e.g.
  specify due date during checkout; Catalog statistics wizard; Patron
  entry/modification, etc.
- Perform similar tests in the OPAC: Hold suspension; Update your
  personal details.

Comment 4 Katrin Fischer 2022-04-25 12:45:44 UTC
With different date formats, things don't appear quite right:

* Changed Dateformat DD.MM.YYYY
* Edit any patron
* Set or edit date of birth
* Verify the date is shown with / still, instead of selected dateformat
Comment 5 Owen Leonard 2022-04-26 12:45:08 UTC
In my testing today I found that it works but only after "restart_all." I don't know why this would be. Individually restarting plack, memcached, or apache doesn't help. Other system preferences, like IntranetUserCSS, are applied immediately without restart.
Comment 6 Jonathan Druart 2022-05-03 05:47:19 UTC
What Katrin describes is not related to this bug report. It's very weird and I have no idea where it's coming from.

I think there is still something wrong with this patch however. The is_valid_date does not work as we are expecting. We used to have an alert if the date was wrong.

The following change will restore the historical behaviour:

Hum, mornings...

There is a bad space there:
  var dateformat_pref = "[% Koha.Preference('dateformat ') | html %]";

Not coming from this patch but bug 26261 (needs to be fixed separately).
Comment 8 Owen Leonard 2022-05-03 18:11:08 UTC
I think that within the scope of this bug report the patch should not be considered Failed QA.

I've posted Bug 30673 - Improve is_valid_date function for validating date strings - to address the issues raised in comment 4, comment 6, and comment 7. But none of those issues are related to the changes made by this patch.
Comment 9 Katrin Fischer 2022-05-06 08:07:36 UTC
Retesting this
Comment 10 Katrin Fischer 2022-05-06 08:18:47 UTC
Testing this again I noticed this in the console with the patch applied:

Source map error: Error: request failed with status 404
Resource URL: http://localhost:8081/intranet-tmpl/lib/flatpickr/shortcut-buttons-flatpickr.min_21.1200048.js
Source Map URL: shortcut-buttons-flatpickr.min.js.map

separate bug?

I am seeing the same behavior, after a restart_all it's ok. I filed:
