11:55 csharp_ after chewing on this issue for several days, I've learned that we need to be updating the ISBN data for Business::ISBN more often
11:56 csharp_ we weren't seeing added content images loading that should, and I was able to track it down to the Business::ISBN validation, which "succeeds" in that there's no runtime error or anything, but we only check that the Business::ISBN object was created, not actually for any errors it returns
11:57 csharp_ when I installed the Business::ISBN::Data package from CPAN, apparently containing newer data, the covers now load
11:58 csharp_ not sure if keeping that updated requires a cron job or what
11:58 csharp_ Business::ISBN::Data documentation includes caveats about the data sometimes being bad :-(
11:59 csharp_ (either that or we skip data validation and just use the ISBN-looking number pulled from the 020$a?
11:59 csharp_ )
11:59 csharp_ kind of feels like overkill given the stakes
12:00 csharp_ also not sure where all the ISBN module gets called in the perl code

12:03 csharp_ "Check that  that data aren't weird: sometimes the group names have errors or oddities."

12:40 csharp_ hmm, looks like Stompro went down a similar road: bug 2061568
12:40 pinesol Launchpad bug 2061568 in Evergreen "Added Content: B&T Fake ISBNs no longer working" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/2061568
12:41 csharp_ hey, a lot more than Fake ISBNs not working at B&T, though, huh?  eh? eh?  too soon I guess
12:41 * csharp_ pulls collar
12:42 csharp_ kind of thinking that Business::ISBN::Data issues might be kind of tangential to our project, though - maybe something we need to document?
12:43 csharp_ I did just open bug 2130356 - which I think is a valid EG-side issue
12:43 pinesol Launchpad bug 2130356 in Evergreen "Business::ISBN silently errors in added content lookups" [Low,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/2130356
12:44 jihpringle joined #evergreen
13:02 csharp_ attempting to copy the RangeMessage.xml file into the Debian/Ubuntu-created perl5 directory - we'll see how that goes...
13:13 jihpringle joined #evergreen
13:19 jihpringle joined #evergreen
13:54 jihpringle24 joined #evergreen
14:52 csharp_ confirming: downloading the RangeMessage.xml file to /usr/share/perl5/Business/ISBN/ improved our success rate with added content lookups
14:53 csharp_ https://www.isbn-internation​al.org/range_file_generation - where that's located
14:54 csharp_ still pondering ways to automate that - probably a documentation bug
14:55 csharp_ it looks like the CPAN package may periodically update their file, perhaps doing updates via that would work? I don't know
14:55 csharp_ it's a wonder any of this works at all :-)
14:56 csharp_ *this = the innernet + software, not EG specifically
15:08 csharp_ bleh - I hate references: ISBN 9786318308045 is invalid: Business::ISBN13=HASH(0x558185c67458)->error_text
15:15 csharp_ @monologue
15:15 pinesol csharp_: Your current monologue is at least 24 lines long.
15:15 csharp_ yes!
