It would be really helpful to be able to preview how the notices look for autorenewals. It's fairly simple to add this to the script when running in verbose mode.
Created attachment 134980 [details] [review] Bug 30751: Add notice printing to automatic_renewals.pl This patch adds notice preview to the automatic_renewals.pl script. Test plan 1) Setup automtic renewals and add some checkouts with autorenewal enabled 2) Run the automatic_renewals.pl script with verbose mode. (without confirm if your testing and don't want to actually send notice or perform the renewals) 3) Confirm that you no get notices printed at the end of the output

Right now, the error is not set in the issue object if not confirm: $auto_renew->auto_renew_error($error)->store if $confirm; I suspect we need: $auto_renew->auto_renew_error($error) $auto_renew->store if $confirm; Additionally: 173 if ($confirm){ 174 my $date_due = AddRenewal( $auto_renew->borrowernumber, $auto_renew->itemnumber, $auto_renew->branchco de, undef, undef, undef, 0 ); 175 $auto_renew->auto_renew_error(undef)->store; 176 } Otherwise the messages I get don't have the correct info/status There may be other instances like this to check as well
Hmm, I think I see what you're saying.. but I don't think the suggested change will work either. Notices always fetch the data from the database for themselves, so splitting out the change and store calls won't help as the notice itself will still refer back to the database on generation. Hmm...
So we really need bug 19966 for this to ever work I think.
