09:05 Dyrcona From a CW MARS internal ticket: "We have recently started circulating vinyl records..."
09:06 Dyrcona That takes me back...I used to check out classical records from the library way back in the early '80s.
09:08 rhamby Dyrcona: one of my first library jobs was shelf reading a vinyl collection .... was not fun
09:18 terran joined #evergreen
09:23 abneiman Dyrcona: rhamby: one of my first library jobs was cataloging classical & opera LPs!  It was actually a lot of fun.
09:24 Dyrcona Neat!
09:28 rhamby I could see that as fun.
09:34 lsach joined #evergreen
09:40 mmorgan Dyrcona: We have a library that's starting a vinyl record collection, too!
09:42 JBoyer If I ever get my systemd setup at home working I'll be cataloging CED discs, vinyl, and laserdiscs in the coming weeks. :)
09:43 JBoyer That first bit though is making me want to launch things off a balcony. :/
09:43 jvwoolf joined #evergreen
09:45 Dyrcona It seems odd to me that libraries would be starting vinyl record collections today, but I guess many libraries got rid of them in the '90s and '00s.
09:47 mmorgan Everything old is new again! We were close to retiring the "record" circ modifier.
09:48 rjackson_isl bringing back the "snap, crackle and pop" to your listening enjoyment!
09:48 * idjit is reminded of this wallpaper https://i.imgur.com/cMn17t9.png
09:49 rjackson_isl ah yes, 9 volt transister radios - those were the days...
09:52 Dyrcona kmlussier: Do you want me to load the branch from bug 1741997 somewhere you can test it with our data?
09:52 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1741997 in Evergreen "additional browse improvements" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1741997
09:53 * Dyrcona times his work with his music....When the Dire Straits collection finishes, it will be time to call in for the meeting.
09:57 pinesol_green [evergreen|Bill Erickson] LP#1639022 Webstaff convert change to credit - <http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=​Evergreen.git;a=commit;h=835bac8>
10:04 kmlussier Dyrcona: Yes, please. I'm having authority issues on my own VMS, and I'm not quite sure why. Since I know cross-references are displaying on your servers, I'm hoping the patch could just be applied and I could see if it fixes the specific bugs.
10:04 Dyrcona Ok. I'll add it to testing.cwmars.org.
10:05 Dyrcona Looks like it is currently at 3.0.3.
10:13 * Dyrcona upgrades it to 3.0.7.
10:14 jwoodard joined #evergreen
10:16 beanjammin joined #evergreen
10:18 Dyrcona kmlussier: Do you want me to do anything in particular after installing the branch, like running the linker or anything like that?
10:19 kmlussier Dyrcona: I don't think the linking is required, but I'm not sure about an authority reingest. gmcharlt: do you know if a reingest is required to test bug 1741997?
10:19 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1741997 in Evergreen "additional browse improvements" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1741997
10:20 kmlussier Well, the linking is required to show the cross-references. I should say I don't think re-linking is required.
10:21 gmcharlt linking is required, yes, if it hasn't already been done; reingest should not be
10:22 kmlussier gmcharlt++ #Thanks!
10:23 Dyrcona authority to authority linking, bib authority linking, both?
10:23 kmlussier gmcharlt: But if everything was linked before the code was added, do they have to do it again?
10:23 gmcharlt no
10:23 Dyrcona OK. So I should be OK without linking, then.
10:28 Christineb joined #evergreen
10:30 Dyrcona FYI: 3.0.3 to 3.0.7 is a quick upgrade. :)
10:38 Bmagic Dyrcona++
10:39 Bmagic "novSelect" is not defined while in the staff client but works fine in the OPAC
10:39 Bmagic greping the code, I only find it mentioned once in acjs.tt2
10:40 Bmagic Where does that variable get defined? Somewhere in novelist's code? Outside of our repo?
10:49 berick Bmagic: pretty sure that's defined in the JS fetched from novelist
10:49 Bmagic yeah, it would have to be I suppose. My problem is that the novelist stuff isn't loading in the staff client. The error is that variable isn't defined. It works just fine in the OPAC.
10:50 Bmagic I guess that means that the novelist code isn't executing
10:54 berick Bmagic: browser client?
10:54 Bmagic xul and browser
10:54 mmorgan Bmagic: terran had a similar issue with novelist working in the opac, but not in web client. I seem to remember a cause being found, but not sure of the details.
10:55 terran Bmagic: novelist is working for us now in the web client - it was a bug on their end
10:56 Bmagic terran: what about xul?
10:56 terran Lemme check...
10:56 berick feedback on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ever​green/+bug/1750894/comments/12 appreciated -- re: persisting grid settings on the server.
10:56 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1750894 in Evergreen "Wishlist: Store web staff workstation settings on the server" [Wishlist,New] - Assigned to Bill Erickson (berick)
10:56 Bmagic berick++
10:57 terran Bmagic: yes, it's working in xul for us now as well
10:57 Bmagic terran: the solution came from novelist?
10:58 terran Bmagic: Their code was looking for the presence of locg in the URL and when it wasn't there, it wasn't displaying anything. Once they added logic to handle it if it wasn't there, it worked fine.
10:58 Bmagic it seems to me that if it works in the OPAC it should be able to work in the staff client
10:58 kmlussier Bmagic: Around the same time terran had her problem, I seem to remember a couple of other people had trouble in the xul client because Novelist had added code that was only supported by recent browsers.
10:59 kmlussier It then fixed itself a day or two later.
10:59 Bmagic interesting
10:59 terran Bmagic: It was actually broken in the OPAC too, but since the OPAC nearly always had locg in the url, the problem wasn't obvious
10:59 kmlussier But if you're seeing it in the web client too, it's probably unrelated.
10:59 terran Not sure if that's the same problem you are having though
10:59 Bmagic the locg uri seems like it would be required because they need to know the context of the display right? Or do they use the login/pass for that?
11:00 terran If locg isn't present, they should just display everything (instead of nothing)
11:00 terran They don't use patron info at all as far as I know (at least, not for our implementation)
11:02 Bmagic I'm referring to OILS_NOVELIST_PROFILE and OILS_NOVELIST_PASSWORD
11:02 bshum Bmagic: Like https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1739029 ?
11:02 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1739029 in Evergreen 3.0 "novelist entry in eg_vhost.conf should include additional parameters" [Undecided,Fix committed]
11:02 bshum They're apache variables
11:03 terran Bmagic: Oh right, I guess we'd manually added those to our eg_vhost file before the patch was available
11:04 Bmagic those are present and accounted for. Without them, it wouldn't work in the OPAC
11:05 Bmagic I'm using the same URL for the hostname on the opac and the staff client
11:05 Bmagic which should include the apache vars from the scoped hostname
11:05 terran Yes, that's what we're doing too
11:06 Bmagic Without those vars, I don't think I would get the "Loading....."
11:08 terran Bmagic: Do you think your site is encountering the locg problem too, or something else?
11:09 Bmagic I removed the locg from the URI on the OPAC and novelist still works
11:09 terran Okay, they must have applied the fix they did for us across the board then
11:10 Bmagic It must be something else. Some other thing that's not loading for staff but is loading for patrons on the OPAC
11:11 terran Is this the same OILS_NOVELIST_URL you have set? https://imageserver.ebscohost.​com/novelistselect/ns2init.js
11:15 Bmagic that's the one :)
11:17 terran Hrrm, so it's not an https problem them.
11:18 Bmagic I thought that too, but I saw the code in the OPAC that changes it to https even if it's set to http
11:24 rjackson_isl anyone able to review bug 1768022 ?
11:24 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1768022 in Evergreen "Webclient Holds Pull List Returns 0 Results" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1768022

11:29 berick rjackson_isl: are you seeing the same thing, where making the page size smaller allows it to render?
11:30 rjackson_isl berick: right - it will eventually come back with first 24 as opposed to 25 and then allow for the next page. In this instance there are/were 53 holds total
11:31 rjackson_isl (as confirmed by the legacy staff client)
11:31 rlefaive joined #evergreen
11:31 berick rjackson_isl: great, thanks.  i have a potential theory, will post to LP.
11:32 rjackson_isl berick++ - thanks for us this will be a pretty big issue in October

12:41 csharp like most bugsquash weeks, this is proving to be one I just don't have time to really participate in, so I'll fix all the remaining bugs next week, is that ok?
12:42 berick perpare the blood oath
12:42 mmorgan csharp: as long as you promise to fix ALL of them ;-)
12:43 JBoyer lp.net/evergreen/+batch_apply/WONTFIX-WORKSFORME
12:44 Dyrcona heh.
12:44 JBoyer Oops. didn't think about the fact that that would resolve to an actual site. Something baidu owns, maybe don't click it since that's not the joke.
12:45 csharp ha!

13:51 Bmagic Is this a normal error?
13:51 Bmagic Event reacting failed with Can't use string ("RPC::XML::Client::send_request: "...) as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/local/share/perl/5.22.1/OpenILS/A​pplication/Trigger/Reactor/AstCall.pm line 256
13:52 Bmagic action_trigger.event_output has data=";noop no phone setting in aus 'opac.hold_notify'"
13:53 terran joined #evergreen
14:03 Bmagic It seems to me that RPC::XML::Client::send_request takes  my ($self, $req, @args) = @_;  and we are passing 'inject', $tmpl_output, $filename_fragment, 0. I suppose the arguments that we are passing are perlized into @args?
14:05 berick Bmagic: yes, they all get bundled into @args.
14:06 Bmagic ok, so the code is sound. It appears that $resp contains a string instead of the expected HASH when we parse the value from $resp->{code}
14:14 jeffdavis vis_attr_vector is not being set properly on our system
14:15 jeffdavis I have many records where vis_attr_vector = '{}' but biblio.calculate_bib_visibility_attribute_set returns something like '{13,39}'
14:25 jeffdavis ah, maybe not *many*

14:26 Dyrcona jeffdavis: Have you tried updating those records?
14:27 terran_ joined #evergreen
14:28 jeffdavis this is an affected record: https://bcrek.bc.catalogue.librar​ies.coop/eg/opac/record/119859705 - I tried modifying the contents of 856$u and saving (which should trigger a vis_attr_vector update via asset.call_number), but vis_attr_vector is still {}
14:29 Dyrcona Ah....
14:31 Dyrcona That's a bug, fixed in 3.0.3, IIRC.
14:32 Dyrcona Check out the bottom of the 3.0.2 to 3.0.3 upgrade script.
14:33 Dyrcona jeffdavis: Also Lp 1730758
14:33 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1730758 in Evergreen "biblio.record_entry.vis_attr_vector not updated upon adding a locate URI" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1730758
14:39 jeffdavis aha!
14:40 jeffdavis we have ingest.reingest.force_on_same_marc set to true, which Mike notes in that bug can cause problems
14:40 jeffdavis setting it to false and then updating the record sets vis_attr_vector properly
14:45 Dyrcona jeffdavis: Good to know.
14:45 jeffdavis Dyrcona++

15:26 miker jeffdavis: for the record, the reason we skip attr update is that it creates a loop of bib updates which will eventually blow out the stack.  the function that updates the attr vector does not have access to NEW (though it is called from within the trigger) so it has to update the table, which triggers another update, and force-on-same fires the trigger again, etc
