[Bug 42298] New: "No automatic renewal before" falls back to "No renewal before" if former is greater than the latter
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42298 Bug ID: 42298 Summary: "No automatic renewal before" falls back to "No renewal before" if former is greater than the latter Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: minor Priority: P5 - low Component: Command-line Utilities Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: lari.taskula@hypernova.fi QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: robin@catalyst.net.nz Although this discovery was made due to a misconfiguration (we actually meant "no automatic renewals before" to have a value smaller than "no renewal before"), I think this finding is still worth reporting. --- Koha has two circulation rules for setting the earliest date a checkout can be renewed: "No renewal before" for manual renewals, and "No automatic renewal before" for automatic renewals. Using automatic renewals, we discovered that if circulation rule "No automatic renewal before" has a value greater than "No renewal before", automatic renewals are actually performed according to the "No renewal before" (manual) rule. Furthermore, this causes another bug where "too_soon" gets written in issues.auto_renew_error, instead of "auto_too_soon" as should be expected when called from the automatic_renewals.pl cronjob. This incorrect error status then causes yet another issue in AUTO_RENEWAL_DGST notices. The default notice template skips autorenewals with "auto_too_soon" error status, but since this bug writes it as "too_soon", the error is unhandled and such failed autorenewals unexpectedly become included in the notice. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Created attachment 196907 [details] [review] Bug 42298: Automatic renewals should only respect the "No automatic renewals before" rule
Note, this patch removes the fallback functionality where "No renewals before" is also checked for automatic renewals, if renewal would otherwise be allowed by "No automatic renewals before". In other words, when running automatic_renewals.pl cronjob, before this patch Koha would first check if an automatic renewal would be allowed by "No automatic renewals before". If allowed, it would then proceed to also check "No renewals before" rule and possibly reject the automatic renewal. Whether this functionality is a feature or a bug, is unknown to me. I'm more inclined to view it as a bug because having a distinct "no renewal before" rule for automatic renewals sounds like it should be the one to be respected. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
