07:30 JBoyer csharp, re: yesterday's "how are whitescreen formed?" discussion, I've also seen it without hatch but caused by some kind of lovefield connection error. The fix for that is to blow away the web database, which hopefully doesn't have any transactions in it...
07:34 JBoyer (The *cause* is anyone's guess.)

11:49 bshum berick: So the new commits that just got added are blowing up my attempts to run grunt all, etc.
11:49 * bshum just so happened to be building a fresh VM
11:50 berick arg, i of course didn't test that
11:50 berick looking
11:52 berick bshum: the itemSvc.convert_xul_templates errors?
11:52 bshum berick: Yep, I think that's what I saw
11:53 bshum "itemSvc.convert_xul_templates converts copy templates as expected" and then unhappiness
12:08 Christineb joined #evergreen
12:30 csharp probably a problem with the test and not the code
12:31 jihpringle joined #evergreen
12:31 berick yeah
12:31 berick the service use to handle more of the data cleanup, no longer necessary w/ the template formatters

12:46 Dyrcona bshum: If it's just the tests failing you can bypass that with --force or doing grunt build
12:46 Dyrcona I think it's grunt build. I've run into that sort of thing before.
13:19 Dyrcona Bmgic: Did you ever get overdrive integration working with their test site? I think it was you who was going to try.
13:19 Dyrcona Bleh.... Bmagic ^^
14:30 miker kmlussier / berick: just a head's up: https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1736419 has a branch
14:30 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1736419 in Evergreen "Search Showing Bibs with no Holdings" [High,Confirmed]
14:30 kmlussier miker++
14:31 miker and the limit-to-avail-as-staff
14:31 kmlussier I'm happy to have a reason to take a break from what I'm working on and test that branch. :)
14:31 berick miker++
14:44 bshum Dyrcona: I'll give that a whirl too, just figured I'd mention since it'd probably be trouble for others down the road
14:51 Dyrcona bshum: Yep. That's why I mentioned gunt build in channel.

15:44 Bmagic Dyrcona: That project is still ongoing. I have it enabled and received some feedback from their API team pointing out some flaws in the API communication from our server
15:45 Dyrcona Bmagic: Doesn't seem to be working for me. I wonder if I have to alter URLs in 856s or something.
15:45 Dyrcona Or, if I need to set library name or ....
15:46 Bmagic Dyrcona: I had it working where it would lookup the availablility of a title but nothing about patron specific holds and checkouts
15:48 Dyrcona Bmagic: All of that has supposedly been enabled for us on the test environment.
15:49 Bmagic Dyrcona: so you don't have any of it working?
15:49 Dyrcona TBH, I don't know.
15:50 Dyrcona I checked something out to myself on the test site and it doesn't show up in Evergreen, but we may not have that record loaded....
15:51 Dyrcona I see some availability for ebooks in our test OPAC, but I don't know what it is supposed to look like. :/
15:51 Dyrcona Like it will say eaudio (1) or ebook (1), but I dunno if that's coming from Overdrive or not, though I suspect not.
15:52 Dyrcona My test OPAC is our data upgraded to 3.0.2 with no customization.
15:53 Dyrcona @eightball Is this The End?
15:53 pinesol_green Dyrcona: NO!
15:55 kmlussier Dyrcona: Is your test OPAC accessible to the outside world?
15:56 Dyrcona kmlussier: I wanted it to be, but apparently it isn't.
15:56 Dyrcona I had to use the VPN to connect.
15:57 Dyrcona We had fun with the networking on this machine after a recent kernel update, too.
15:58 kmlussier Dyrcona: If you're seeing any availability counts for Overdrive titles, I would assume it's coming from Overdrive. But I would have to see it to be sure.
15:58 kmlussier Dyrcona: This is what it looks like at NOBLE - http://evergreen.noblenet.​org/eg/opac/record/3189742 - but I suspect they may have customized it.
16:02 jeffdavis yes, that has been customized
16:02 jeffdavis one might even say "improved"
16:02 kmlussier jeffdavis: If you think it's an improvement, I'm sure we can pull a branch together.
16:03 * kmlussier can't even remember what the changes were.
16:03 Dyrcona I think availability may be working, even in production, for us.
16:08 Dyrcona Though we might have turned it off in production. Too much has gone on in the past few months.
16:08 kmlussier Dyrcona: The eaudio (1) ebook (1) that you mentioned above. Are you referring to what displays under "View other formats and editions"?
16:09 Dyrcona Yes, it is.
16:10 kmlussier Dyrcona: Yeah, that's something different. That just brings the user to another format if they want something different from the current record.
16:11 Dyrcona OK. It's not working for us.
16:12 * Dyrcona hates testing environments.
16:12 jeffdavis Testing the API integration stuff is especially painful unfortunately. :(
16:13 kmlussier jeffdavis: The grunt all error you encountered is something different. bshum discovered it earlier today. You can use grunt all --force to bypass it.
16:13 Dyrcona I think just "grunt build" works.
16:13 Dyrcona That'll build it and skip the testis, IIRC.
16:13 jeffdavis Thanks! I'll try one of those and see if having the whole branch changes the outcome.
16:17 kmlussier jeffdavis: I'm getting the same results as you at this point. :(
16:21 Dyrcona jeffdavis: Do the records have to use "new style" Overdrive URLs to work properly?
16:21 Dyrcona Actually, I'm not even sure that means anything.
16:22 jeffdavis Dyrcona: IIRC old-style URLs should work as long as you've got pattern matching set up in config.tt2 but it's been awhile since I tested
16:22 Dyrcona I kind of botched the pattern matching, but this record should match. We have multiple patterns.
16:23 Bmagic So, I am finding that null values in config.hold_matrix_matchpoint -> age_hold_protect_rule is matching items that have age protection. Should that be the case?
16:23 Dyrcona Bmagic: Yes, it would be the case if other things match.
16:25 Bmagic what a mess, found 22 examples....
16:25 Dyrcona Holds are best match, IIRC.
16:25 Bmagic there needs to be something like age_hold_protect IS null and only null instead of "anything in this column matches"
16:26 jeffdavis Dyrcona: looks like it should take any URI that matches one of your base_uris values, then basically do $overdrive_id = 's/^.*\/ContentDetails.htm\?ID=//g' - so if your old-style URIs have trailing non-identifier info after ID= or otherwise don't match that pattern, they won't work
16:27 Dyrcona That's how this one looks: http://digitalbooks.cwmars.org/ContentDetails​.htm?ID=46896ACA-6F3B-403D-96A4-7B10329ED4B2
16:31 jeffdavis yeah I would expect that to work with ebook_api.overdrive.base_uris = [ 'http://digitalbooks.cwmars.org' ];
16:33 jeff For libraries here that use serials, do you weed/delete serial units frequently? I'm trying to determine if there's room for improvement in our workflow with regard to deleting serial units, or if it's something that currently requires several steps -- and if we want to see about trying to improve that.
16:35 * jeff eyes bug 1414197
16:35 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1414197 in Evergreen "serials: deleting an item does not update the basic summary statement" [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1414197
16:36 jeff here I thought that deleting the issuance was proper and something we just needed to remember to do, but kmlussier describes deleting the issuance as a "workaround". now I'm not sure what to think. :-)
16:37 jeff and now that i see it, i'm really wondering about bug 1099510 and the idea / use case of serials + parts.
16:37 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1099510 in Evergreen "Wishlist: Set parts when receiving serials" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1099510
16:38 jeff I'm aware of libraries doing "serials as monographs" and "serials as monographs + parts", but had not considered "serials WITH parts"
16:41 kmlussier jeff: I think part of the issue (no pun intended) is that in our consortia, we have a mix of libraries that use serials and don't use serials. Using parts provides a common method among all those libraries to allow patrons to place holds.
16:45 jeff kmlussier: okay, I think I follow -- thanks!
16:46 jeff kmlussier: any insight into the other (no pun intended) issue above? is deleting an issuance in order for the basic summary statement to update normal/proper, or a "workaround"?
16:48 kmlussier jeff: I don't know. It's not fresh in my mind, so I would have to look at it a little more closely.
16:55 * kmlussier looks into it, finds new web client bug.
16:58 kmlussier jeff: Here's my thought. If the expected workflow is to delete the issuance, then the system shouldn't allow you to delete the item without deleting the issuance. Because if you can delete the item, staff will do so and will expect the summary to update.
16:58 kmlussier However, this is all a moot point now since I don't see a way to delete an issuance in the web client. I could just be missing it.
16:58 kmlussier And deleting an item fails.
17:00 abneiman kmlussier, re that last one, bug 1717593
17:00 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1717593 in Evergreen "web client serials: cannot delete expected issues" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1717593
17:00 kmlussier abneiman++
17:01 kmlussier abneiman: In my case, I was trying to delete a received issue.
17:02 kmlussier Same error message in the console.
17:04 abneiman ah, ok, I misread -- Friday brain

17:34 Bmagic miker csharp: Mana from heaven!
17:34 Bmagic it was a LIBRARY SETTING! "Disable Automatic Print Attempt Type List"
17:35 Bmagic 5 hours later, clicked "revert" to null and violla! It prompts a print slip
17:41 Bmagic Never seen that library setting before. That setting is hilarious.
