Description Hans Pålsson 2024-01-29 11:34:06 UTC
When upgrading from 23.05 to 23.11.01 our ILL module (https://github.com/Libriotech/koha-illbackend-libris) stopped working until <enable_plugins> variable in koha-conf.xml was set to 1. Plack-error.log showed message Can't call method "GetPlugins" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/ill/ill-requests.pl line 534.

Since the ILL-module is not a plugin this behaviour is unwanted.
Comment 1 Andreas Jonsson 2024-02-12 11:01:24 UTC
This is caused by the changes introduced in bug 30719:

# Get available metadata enrichment plugins
sub get_metadata_enrichment {
    my @candidates = Koha::Plugins->new()->GetPlugins({
        method => 'provides_api'
    });
    my @services = ();
    foreach my $plugin(@candidates) {
        my $supported = $plugin->provides_api();
        if ($supported->{type} eq 'search') {
            push @services, $supported;
        }
    }
    return \@services;
}

Bug 35930: Add guards for plugins_enabled

There are ILL-backends that are not implemented as
Koha plubins and does not require plugins to be enabled.

The 'new' method in Koha::Plugins returns undefined if
plugins are disabled.  Therefore, calls to this method
must be guarded by a check that plugins actually are enabled.

Test plan:

* Code inspection of patch, alternatively
* Activate the ill system by installing a backend such as
  koha-illbackend-libris:
  https://github.com/Libriotech/koha-illbackend-libris
* Make sure plugins are disabled in koha-conf.xml
* In the staff interface, go to ILL requests.
* The page should load without getting an error 500.

PA amended commit message: This is not related to ILL backends being plugins or not
This is about ILL batches, where checking for metadata enrichment plugins was missing 'enable_plugins' guard
Additionally, unrelated to batches, it's also about ILLAvailability, where checking for ILL availabililty plugins was missing enable_plugins guard

Comment 4 Pedro Amorim 2024-02-12 12:25:29 UTC
Thanks @Andreas.
This makes sense, and I've tested to also make sure there are no regressions:
ILLCheckAvailability -> enabled, installed an availability plugin and tested with enable_plugins 0 and 1, all working as expected:
https://github.com/PTFS-Europe/koha-plugin-ill-avail-eds

Installed a metadata enrichment plugin, tested with ILL batches, with enable_plugins 0 and 1, all working as expected:
https://github.com/PTFS-Europe/koha-plugin-api-pubmed

"As expected" above means these features are not available if enable_plugins=0 and no errors occur.

If someone else SOs this, please convert my SO to PQA and update accordingly.
Comment 5 Pedro Amorim 2024-02-12 12:27:55 UTC
Upping this to "major" as it will cause an ugly 500 error and block ILL basic functionality for installations using ILLModule with enable_plugins=0.
Comment 6 Hans Pålsson 2024-02-12 13:41:44 UTC
Tested the patch and it works. I mark this as PQA per request, if that´s wrong I'll take the blame. :)

It never hurts to have more testers :-D Don't forget to stamp your signature on the patch, though.

```
git commit --amend -s --no-edit
```

Best regards

I added Hans Pålsson signoff line inline and have pushed to master for 24.05.00 to allow rmaints to backport for the next releases.

Thanks for your work everyone.
