Description Nick Clemens 2023-04-04 13:18:46 UTC
Bug 19436 altered the call for storing imported auths in the DB:

before-
my ($notmarcrecord, $alreadyindb, $alreadyinfarm, $imported, $breedingid)= ImportBreedingAuth( $marcdata, 2, $serverhost[$k], $encoding[$k], $random, 'z3950' );

after-
my ($notmarcrecord, $alreadyindb, $alreadyinfarm, $imported, $breedingid)= ImportBreedingAuth( $marcrecord, 2, $serverhost[$k], $encoding[$k], $random);

Note the record passed changes from "marcdata" to "marcrecord"

Marcdata is the original raw record, so saving with original encoding makes sense

Marcrecord is the raw record converted to UTF-8 - but we save the original encoding

Bug 33404: (bug 19436 follow-up) Save the original encoded record

This patch restores previous behavior of storing the record as received
from the source with the original encoding. We store the encoding in the DB
as well, but save the record converted to UTF8 - this means that when we try
to display and convert to UTF8 again, we mangle the record

While providing a test plan, it requires a MARC8 Authority source, and I cannot locate
an open one. This change can be verified by reading the code.

There are no unit tests for Z3950SearchAuth, but it does too much and requires many mocks,
this is a small fix to a reversion and should be able to move forward.

To test:
1 - Search a Z39 authority server that has MARC8 (or non utf8) records
2 - Find a record with diacritics in the record
3 - Import it
4 - Note diacritics are mangled
5 - Apply patch, restart_all
6 - Perform a new Z3950 search (to ensure record is not already in reservoir)
7 - Find a record with diacritics
8 - Import it
9 - Note diacritics correctly encoded

$marcdata is no marc record ! It is a marc blob.

How did you manage to test it?
Comment 5 Marcel de Rooy 2023-05-23 14:21:34 UTC
The changes do not look good to me. We should not save in other encodings. Everywhere we convert to UTF-8. Here we should too.

When I compare BIB with AUTH in Z3950Search, we also save bib records in UTF8.
Note that there are some subtle differences. For instance the moment when we call SetUTF8Flag.

This needs more attention.

This sounds problematic.

And this too :)

I am happy to go this direction if preferred

I forgot to commit changes after testing :-) New patch retested and verified against OCLC MARC8 records

If you can find a source I would appreciate it

Yes, but we should not allow bugs to remain when we have a fix, but not the time to pay technical debts.

This works better - sometimes mine worked, and then sometimes I was losing the heading fields, not sure why.

I would attach a sample MARC-8 - but I can't get one out of the system without it being mangled - I exported the record I used for testing as marc 8 and will attach if that helps

Test plan:
[1] If you have access to a Z3950 MARC8 auth server, search
    for an authority record and import it.
[2] If you have access to a Z3950 UTF8 auth server, search
    for an authority record and import it.

Note for QA: The Z3950SearchAuth test can be extended further later on. And used as a basis for Z3950Search too. We need to consolidate the duplicated code.

Nick, there is an issue with this sample record. I could import it but I could not use it in my test. I have the impression that there is an issue with exporting authority records from Koha in MARC8?
