[QA] QA-ing packaging & install tools
by Paul Poulain 11 Dec '12

11 Dec '12

Hi QA team, I was wondering who feel brave enough to QA patches related to installation & packaging, for example: 8519 Make koha-index-daemon run on startup 8840 ubuntu-pkg-check.sh fix and extend functionality 8878 koha-shell: a command to make using koha commands easier I can QA the code quality, but can't test most of those patches because i'm a dummy at sysadmin. As testing is required for QA, who can show his hand and say "will do" ? -- Paul POULAIN - BibLibre http://www.biblibre.com Free & Open Source Softwares for libraries Koha, Drupal, Piwik, Jasper

Can't search after loading a 3.8 sql dump into 3.10
by Magnus Enger 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

I have an instance running 3.8.7 off the official packages. I take the .sql.gz file produced by the backup-script in that installation and move it to another server where I have installed 3.10, again from the official packages. Then I create a new 3.10 instance on the new server with the same name as the instance on the old server ("esme"), gunzip the sql dump file and load it into the new installation, with this: sudo koha-mysql myinstance < dump.sql Then I do: sudo koha-upgrade-schema esme sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -f esme Everything looks good (the output from koha-upgrade-schema is here: http://paste.koha-community.org/304) but I can't search in the new installation. I get a search results page that has: 1. "You did not specify any search criteria." in the title of the page 2. "Error: Can't call method "raw" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Search.pm line 461." in the body of the page. The only thing that happens in /var/log/koha/esme/opac-error.log is this, which seems benign: [Mon Dec 10 13:29:35 2012] [error] [client x.x.x.x] [Mon Dec 10 13:29:35 2012] opac-search.pl: Use of uninitialized value $error in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/koha/opac/cgi-bin/opac/opac-search.pl line 509., referer: http://esme.testing.bibkat.no/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl If I create another instance on the new server, run through the web installer manually then export the records from the old server and stage/import them into the new server then searching works just fine (after I run koha-rebuild-zebra -f). As far as I can tell, the contents of /etc/koha/sites/esme/zebra-biblios.cfg are identical for the two instances. Reindexing looks like this: $ sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -f -v esme Zebra configuration information ================================ Zebra biblio directory = /var/lib/koha/esme/biblios Zebra authorities directory = /var/lib/koha/esme/authorities Koha directory = /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin BIBLIONUMBER in : 999$c BIBLIOITEMNUMBER in : 999$d ================================ skipping authorities ==================== exporting biblio ==================== 101..................................................................................................

BZ8942
by Fridolyn SOMERS 10 Dec '12

10 Dec '12

I've proposed a big patch for a translation problem : BZ8942. It is based on a new coding rule : javascript translated strings must use double quotes : _("xxx"), never single quotes. See why in BZ discussion. If developpers agree, it should be added in wiki, in QA tools and automated test. I look for a go from community and a sign-off of patches.

Search operators
by Jared Camins-Esakov 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

Hello. As many of you know, I have been working on rewriting Koha's search code so that it is more palatable than a plate of burned nine-day-old spaghetti. The initial part of the development is nearing completion, and I look forward to submitting a patch to the community for sign off[1]. In the course of the first section of the development, I have run into an interesting question. We currently support greater than and less than operators in our searches, but I cannot think of anywhere we might want to use them other than with dates. Does anyone have any scenarios where a greater than/less than operator would actually be useful in a bibliographic or authority search (other than in date searches)? Regards, Jared [1] If you're interested in seeing my work so far, the search rewrite branch in my public repo has all the code: http://git.cpbibliography.com/?p=koha.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/search_re… The RFC is at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/C_%26_P_Search_Rewrite_RFCand I would still welcome any and all comments. -- Jared Camins-Esakov Bibliographer, C & P Bibliography Services, LLC (phone) +1 (917) 727-3445 (e-mail) jcamins(a)cpbibliography.com (web) http://www.cpbibliography.com/

Linting JavaScript files
by Owen Leonard 06 Dec '12

06 Dec '12

I'd like to start looking at our handling of JavaScript assets in a more structured way, hopefully adding some JavaScript unit tests in the future. Talking about linting seems like a good first step. Does anyone here use JSLint or JSHint to check their JavaScript? What would you all think of adding some guidelines asking that new contributions get linted? My vote would be JSHint (http://www.jshint.com/) -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org

Re: [Koha-devel] How to change fine calculation timing: another appeal
by Vimal Kumar V. 05 Dec '12

05 Dec '12

Dear Friends, I tried to connect cronjob with anacron. I added the following lines in anacron file. Open the file gedit /etc/anacrontab And add the following lines in it and save. 1 10 cron.daily koha-foreach /etc/cron.daily This line will execute Koha related crontab daily after 10 minutes when system start. I found that fine calculated and display in circulation module. Try yourself and give your feed back. Thank you Robin Sheat for inform us about the use of anacron for Koha cronjobs. -- Vimal Kumar V.
