09:08 Dyrcona Bleh... I don't want the "live server" image, Canonical. I want the regular install image. Gotta jump through hoops of fire to get it....
09:10 Dyrcona And, no.... It's not available at all, just the live image....

09:54 rhamby it occurs to me that when I'm testing behavior before I apply a patch and confirm it I should check launchpad to see if it's still listed as new

09:59 Dyrcona rhamby: "fool's cancer?" :)
10:00 rhamby Dyrcona: roughly translated "rogan is an idiot"
10:00 Dyrcona rhamby: I know, but ask google translate....
10:00 rhamby I'm terrified to ask it :)
10:01 Dyrcona I did, and that's what it says. :)
10:01 rhamby that's ... special and kind of terrifying
10:01 terranm Fool's Cancer is a great band name
10:01 Dyrcona I guess your name is one of the words for cancer in Japanese.
10:01 Dyrcona @band add Fool's Cancer
10:01 pinesol Dyrcona: Band 'Fool's Cancer' added to list
10:02 Dyrcona @band add Baka no Rogan
10:02 pinesol Dyrcona: Band 'Baka no Rogan' added to list
10:02 rhamby though .... phonetically rogan would roughly translate to cancer ... which I never thought about before ... thanks google
10:02 Dyrcona Gotta love Japanese...It's complicated. :)
10:03 rhamby yeah, mine is awful, just enough to catch bits and pieces that I hear
10:03 Dyrcona @band add Hida no Kami

10:07 jeff I'm game to give it a look.
10:07 jeff See how it compares with what we have, etc.
10:07 Dyrcona @blame Kuwabatake Sanjuro
10:07 pinesol Dyrcona: It's all Kuwabatake Sanjuro's fault!
10:07 JBoyer That almost sounds like a Zappa album title.
10:07 rhamby that too ....
10:07 Dyrcona Yeah....

11:42 Dyrcona Not changing that ++ either. :)
11:45 gmcharlt heh
11:46 Dyrcona Have you seen my response? I considered your concern when I wrote the code, originally.
11:51 gmcharlt looking
11:52 gmcharlt and yeah, a fuller fix might be along the lines of varying the form based on the home library that the user selected, but that woudl indeed be more work
11:59 jihpringle joined #evergreen
12:05 mmorgan Prowling around in the code, what is/was the support script hold_copy_targeter.srfsh used for?
12:10 miker berick: if you have a second, is there already an analog to mkurl() for use in the angular catalog? something that will let me supply some new values for query parameters (and ones to remove) and spit out a value usable in a routerLink attribute, particularly for search url construction?
12:14 Dyrcona mmorgan: It's purpose is to target holds, apparently. It runs storage code that basically does that based on the interval argument.
12:15 Dyrcona Its not It's.... English is almost as bad as Japanese. :)
12:15 mmorgan :)
12:17 Dyrcona One thing I've mentioned in the past is that there are presently too many ways to target holds, each one subtly different from the others.
12:17 Dyrcona I once spent several hours looking through holds code, only to realize that I was looking at the wrong code.
12:18 mmorgan 'Wrong' as in superceded? Or 'wrong' as in used in a different context?
12:19 Dyrcona Both, actually. :)
12:19 mmorgan superceded_code--
12:22 * mmorgan is looking again at bug 1686463 as it has come up again as an issue.

12:24 Dyrcona If I had know that computer science was going to be like this, I would not have given up on being a rock star.
12:24 mmorgan Dyrcona++
12:24 rhamby Dyrcona : it's never too late to chase your dreams
12:24 Dyrcona Yes, sometimes it is.
12:25 mmorgan You can't be both? ;-)
12:25 Dyrcona That rock star thing is not original to me. I forget who said it/where I saw it.
12:25 Dyrcona But, I've been feeling that way lately.

13:37 mrisher I'm trying to test bug #1887852 involving pending users.  I went to the user buckets page, then click the "pending users" tab, then try to import users by uploading a txt file.  the .txt file has one patron barcode on each line.  The console shows this error twice:
13:37 pinesol Launchpad bug 1887852 in Evergreen "Last 4 digits of phone number for password doesn't work with pending users" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1887852

13:37 mrisher any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
13:38 jeff mrisher: Circulation -> Pending Users
13:38 mrisher yes, I am on that page.
13:38 jeff mrisher: enable patron self-registration in org unit settings first
13:38 jeff mrisher: then submit some patron self-registrations
13:38 mrisher will try that.  thanks.
13:39 jeff the "pending" bit of user buckets is unrelated
13:40 jeff mrisher: the "pending" bit of user buckets expects barcodes of existing users. it's not for patron import.
13:40 mrisher I see.
13:41 mrisher I was trying that because when I googled the topic of pending users and searched through the results I kept seeing references to the patron buckets.
13:41 mrisher Thanks for clarifying! :)
13:41 jeff you're welcome! thanks for testing!
13:42 rfrasur mrisher - pending users is used in a couple different places for different things that sometimes can interact but mean different things.
13:43 rfrasur "pending users" - that terminology.
13:47 terranm joined #evergreen
14:28 mrisher re:  1887852   something must still be off in my testing.  What I'm testing is that the phone number populates the password field.   When the patron self-registers there's no way to enter a phone number.  The bug description indicates I should generate a pssword without changing the data in the phone field
14:29 mrisher how do I self-register, add a phone number, then go generate a password without changing the phone numbrer?
14:29 miker berick: re above, nm, I found queryParams and queryParamsHandling examples
14:30 jihpringle mrisher: you can add the phone number to the self registration form through the library settings
14:31 jihpringle mrisher: I think it's the "Show day_phone field on patron registration" setting
14:34 collum joined #evergreen
14:36 mrisher jihpringle: That gets me partway there.  I enabled show day_phone field.  I'm seeing that info isn't used for the password.  I'm realizing there are actually 3 phone numbers involved:  day, evening, and default.  The bug doesn't state which phone number should be used to pre-populate the password
14:36 mrisher I can verify it isn't pre-populating the daytime phone number
14:36 mrisher but I'm not clear if the bug fix is supposed to fix that issue, since there are 3 phone number fields
14:38 jihpringle I'm fairly certain the daytime phone number is the one that should be used
14:38 mrisher if that's the case then it appears that the bug fix doesn't work
14:38 collum joined #evergreen
14:41 mmorgan mrisher: What is your workstation?
14:41 mrisher CONS-asdf
14:42 Dyrcona That' the problem. CONS probably can't have users.
14:43 mrisher but I can access patrons registered at BR1 / branch one with CONS.
14:43 mrisher and I can see the patron who tried to self-register
14:43 mrisher Are you saying that I need to register a workstation with the BR1 location and then try again with that workstation?
14:43 mmorgan I don't see that the library setting "Patron: password from phone #" is set for any org unit on butternut.evergreencatalog.com
14:43 mmorgan I'll set that now.
14:44 mrisher mmorgan: thanks.  I didn't know that was another option that had to be enabled to test the work
14:44 mmorgan Patron: password from phone # is now set to TRUE for CONS
14:44 mrisher thanks
14:44 mmorgan So many settings ... :)
14:44 mrisher do you know if I need to be using a workstation at BR1 to test this?
14:44 mrisher CONS will not work?
14:46 terranm You don't have to have a workstation set up to test the self-reg form because that's in the OPAC
14:46 mmorgan Personally, I'm always leery of using CONS as a workstation for any testing. I would say BR1 would be better for testing.
14:47 terranm I actually didn't know you could set up a workstation at CONS level. I guess I'm thoroughly trained to use a branch!
14:47 mrisher terranm: After the patron does self-reg you need to switch to the admin interface to work with the pending user. That's where the CONS workstation enters the picture
14:48 mrisher I'll use a BR1 workstation for testing this.  thank you
14:48 mmorgan mrisher++
14:50 jihpringle the fact that you can register a workstation for CONS is actually a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1807257
14:50 pinesol Launchpad bug 1807257 in Evergreen "Web Client Allows Register Workstation with Org_Unit that Can't Have Users" [Undecided,Confirmed]

16:29 mmorgan JBoyer: Thanks! any quotes around that?
16:29 JBoyer there are not.
16:29 JBoyer which leads me to believe there ought so be.
16:30 JBoyer Oh, wait, no. bare numbers should be  cool in json.
16:30 mmorgan There ought to be to do a proper test of the bug :)
16:31 JBoyer Ah. they can be put there if that's all you need
16:32 mmorgan Great! To test the bug, the value should be "6"
16:33 JBoyer right-o, now it's set to "6"
16:33 mmorgan JBoyer++ Thanks!

16:49 terranm I changed the OPAC-visibility of the "Microform" Search Format in the MARC Coded Value Maps interface to hidden, but it's still showing in the OPAC interface (this is on JBoyer's acorn server) - I cleared cache, but does something else need to happen before that change appears in the OPAC?
16:54 mrisher on the tiffany-master server there doesn't appear to be a way to search the catalog unless ones selects the traditional search.  This page is not found:  https://tiffany-master.gapines.or​g/eg2/en-US/staff/catalog/search
16:55 terranm mrisher: yeah, something's broken there - I just put a note on the bug squashing sheet a few minutes ago about it :/
16:55 mrisher thanks terranm
16:55 terranm The other angular stuff on there appears to be broken, too
17:01 mrisher I did manage to get some testing done with the traditional search, but it didn't behave as expected.  Wasn't sure if it was the server or the code that caused it.
17:01 mrisher I'm holding off for now
17:08 csharp I got an alert from that server that swap was filling up, so I restarted a bunch of things to track down the cause
17:09 csharp when I started it back up with ng build --watch, that's failing with this error:
17:09 csharp ERROR in src/app/staff/common.module.ts:78:17 - error TS1005: ',' expected.
17:09 csharp not sure what patch caused that
17:09 csharp or if there's something else going on
17:11 csharp found it - typo from a conflict resolution
17:11 csharp it's rebuilding now
17:11 csharp should be working
17:12 csharp mrisher: terranm ^^
17:12 terranm csharp++
17:13 terranm csharp: btw, I volunteered you to come talk about nullability to the reports interest group sometime :D
17:16 mmorgan left #evergreen
17:16 terranm I confirmed that the angular stuff is working on tiffany-master now
17:17 terranm csharp: could you enable clark kent on there, too, please?
17:18 csharp terranm: sure re: nullability and I'll start clark
17:19 terranm thank you! hope you're feeling better
17:19 csharp DBD::Pg::st execute failed: ERROR:  relation "reporter.copy_statistics_view" does not exist

17:22 mrisher going back to testing on tiffany-master and it's still acting a bit odd.  keeps hanging.
17:22 terranm confirmed that reports are running fine on tiffany-master now, and the new view looks good
17:24 terranm mrisher: hmm, it's loading fast for me

17:26 mrisher I did a search query and used the new ""add all search results" option.  a dialogue box opens... pauses, then closes
17:26 mrisher not sure if that's the server acting up or the code I'm testing
17:27 berick mrisher: do you see a number next to the basket icon (by the Basket Actions) dropdown?
17:27 mrisher yes, there's a basket and (248)
17:27 berick that means it worked
17:27 berick the dialog is just a progress indicator
17:27 berick (cuz it has to fetch all the record IDs)
17:27 terranm Yes, it's working for me
17:29 mrisher Ok, I see.  To confirm I added all 248 to a bucket.  Then when I check the bucket I see it has 248 entries.
