#295 enhancement dread dread v1.0 closed fixed Add multiple packages when editing a group

In Group edit page, you can only add one package at a time. It would be better to use some scripting to allow adding more than one at once, to make it easier and quicker when you have a long list to add.

Ticket is split off from ticket:221

See also ticket:155 (duplicate).

#302 enhancement johnbywater dread v1.0 closed fixed Advertise a package's feed visually

Visual display of a package's feed in the Package Read (/package/xyz) and Package History (/package/history/xyz) pages.

Motivation: each package's Atom feed is mentioned in the <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" ...> tag, which Firefox displays with a feed icon, but the other 3/4 of users may not discover it.

The Repo History (/revision) page has a visual link the feed.

PS It would be nice to display the feed icon in both these places too.

#303 defect dread dread v1.0 closed fixed Package history & diff & feed to show changes to tags, extras and resources

Currently a package's history page (/package/history/xyz) and related feed only shows changes to the core package i.e. ones which create a PackageResource?. This doesn't include changes to tags, extras and resources. These need to be added.

There is the complication that the 'diff' function doesn't currently work beyond PackageResource?. Unless this is quick and simple to fix, I suggest we let the diff remain slightly broken for now.

Rufus suggests alongside the existing methods:

pkg.all_revisions()
pkg.diff()

we have ones which also include the related objects (tags, extras, resources):

pkg.all_revisions_full()
pkg.diff_full()

You could have a function which returned these related objects. Ideas:

revobjlist = [ self, resources, extras ]
list of tuples: (revobj, changed_revobjs)
list of tuples: (revobj, {objtype: [changed_revobjs]})
tuple: (rev1, {Package: [ object_id, object_id], PackageTag: [object_id, object_id2] ...}

#309 defect pudo dread closed fixed Tag list shows unused tags

Deleted tags are visible on the /tag page and are searchable.

Delete tags are ones that were in use once and then discarded, so this includes ones which are not used on any packages any more, including misspelling, mistakes, and deprecated tags. It would makes sense to remove them.

Example tag that is viewed at /tag and searchable: http://ckan.net/tag/2rand[0

#312 defect rgrp dread closed invalid Race condition creating PackageRating

On ckan.net there are a few packages which cause a 403 exception when you try to rate them: http://www.ckan.net/package/rate/coins-data?rating=3

The exception is occuring here: ckan.rating:39 in set_rating rating_obj = rating_query.one() InvalidRequestError?: Multiple rows returned for one()

It looks like this package got rated twice in quick succession, creating two similar PackageRating? objects. This race condition needs to be solved and these particular rating objects repaired.

#313 enhancement rgrp dread v1.1 closed fixed Allow packages to be specified by IDs in REST interface

If a package name changes, a simple CKAN client may not be aware of this (not monitoring the push notifications, revisions or feed), so it is preferable to refer to the package by its (invariant) ID.

It is still useful to refer to a package by its name though, so both should be valid arguments in the REST interface.

#322 enhancement dread dread v1.1 closed fixed Client interface for Notification Service

Use cases

  • Register for package changes
  • Register for all revisions
  • Notified of a package change
  • Notified of a revision
  • Deregistration
  • Configuration of port in pylons config

Design

  • Default port: 5672 (standard for AMQP)
  • Exchange name: 'ckan'
  • Exchange type: topic exchange (most flexible)
  • Routing keys: (see below)

Routing detail

Routing key format: "OBJ_TYPE" (NB tags should be identified by their name, not ID)

Example routing keys

  • 'package' - Package edited/created
  • 'resource' - Resource edited/created
  • 'revision' - Any change
  • 'db.clean'
  • 'db.rebuild'

Example queue bindings that clients may use:

  • * - no filtering - client receives all notifications
  • package - only changes to packages
  • revision - all revisions
  • db - all database operations

Versioning

Since message payloads will be tied into the REST Entities, it makes sense to join up with the REST versioning. This could be achieved by providing new exchanges called 'ckan-1.1' perhaps?

Documentation

  • How to use
  • simple example of an external client?

#323 enhancement dread dread v1.1 closed fixed Notification message

Which events to notify on

Listed by domain object, these are the notification message 'change types' that will be sent:

  • Package
  • PackageResource

Also it is clear that it could be useful to know when db-wide maintenance is carried out:

  • db - 'clean', 'rebuild' (db is wiped and replaced with new data), 'upgrade' (migration)

Ignored domain objects

These parts of the domain model will not carry notifications as no use case has been identified for them:

  • Revision
  • Group
  • Tag
  • Rating
  • User - list of users is sensitive info
  • Relationships - complicated
  • Authz - complicated and sensitive info
  • License - change of a license's metadata is a question for the 'license service'

Message format

A notification message's header contains the routing key, identifying the object type. The client is probably interested in the object (all use cases so far), so it makes sense to send the object in the payload. This should be the JSON-encoded dictionary exactly as provided for the object's REST Entity.

For the 'db' notifications there shall be no payload.

#324 enhancement dread dread v1.1 closed fixed Search indexing using notifications

Currently search indexing is triggered directly using a Postgresql db callback. Now take advantage of the Notification system to register interest in all package changes and db changes to trigger this instead.

The indexing shall run in a separate shell/process, managed by supervisord.

#325 enhancement dread dread v1.1 closed fixed Event push notification

As a

CKAN client program

I want to

be notified when changes to the CKAN metadata occur.

Examples of use

  1. An external search engine needing to (re)index a package. (interest: Package)
  2. A front-end system that caches package info and wants to know when it changes, to keep in step. (interest: Package or Revision) See further details here: ticket:352 and previous iteration here: ticket:333.
  3. A system for automatically checking package URLs and resource URLs as they are put on the system. This could alert to bad URLs and automatically email feedback to (meta)data owners. (interest: PackageResource)
  4. Do some processing on resource (e.g. extract sample data for display) (interest: PackageResource)

Context

The current state of CKAN can be queried through the REST API, you can keep track of changes by reviewing the feeds, but there is no way to find out the instant something is changed, without costly polling.

Design

Split-off into two tickets:

  • Notification message - ticket:323
    • Which events to notify on
    • Message format
  • Interface for Notifier Service - ticket:322

Testing

To test notifications, Carrot / AMQP will be configured to use a native-Python Queue, instead of requiring RabbitMQ to be running on the machine.

#329 defect rgrp dread v1.1 closed fixed Bad dates cause exception on Gov form

Reproduction

Using the government form, create a new package with name 'test' and date released of '23/5/0210'. The result is a 500 error and 'Server Error' message.

Affects all versions of CKAN.

Why it's happening

The dates module is raising an exception on the invalid date when saving the date, which is not being caught. The exception should have been raised only during the earlier 'validation' step and that would be caught.

#330 defect dread dread closed fixed getdata/ons timezone not recognised on non-British servers

The python time module is supposed to recognise timezones such as 'UTC', 'GMT' and 'BST' using the %Z parameter. This works fine on British installs, but the buildbot (for example) gives this error:

DateConvertError?: Could not read date as ISO format "%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z". Date provided: "Mon, 04 Jan 2010 09:30:00 BST"

It turns out that it only recognises local names of timezones.

The ONS import doesn't care much about timezone, so we should just ignore it, avoiding these problems.

#333 enhancement dread v1.1 closed wontfix CKAN front end requirements for package notifications

Use case: new package

  1. An external front-end system provides a web page with a list of packages. Each package has the option to edit it or and there is also a button to create a new package.
  1. User: clicks 'new package'.
  1. CKAN presents the package/new form to the user.
  1. (After a couple of previews) User: clicks 'commit'.
  1. Notification message goes from CKAN to the front-end detailing the new package.
  1. The user is redirected back to the front-end web page displaying the list of packages, which contains the new one.

The notification message (step 5) has to get through to the front-end that the new package is created before the redirect (step 6). This suggests that the message sending needs to be *synchronous*, i.e. acknowledged by the front-end, before CKAN redirects the user to the front-end package listing page (step 6).

In addition, this use case suggests the front-end listens for package notifications, to save another call to CKAN to get the package details, before the displaying the list of packages. If this isn't possible (see next use case) and it must listen for revision notifications instead, then perhaps it is worth including the full package details in the payload for the revision notification message. Would there be a problem with such a large message in the next use case, with 100 packages?

Use case: CKAN imports packages

  1. CKAN administrator runs a script that adds 100 new packages into CKAN.
  1. CKAN sends notification message to front-end to report the new packages/revisions.
  1. Knowing there are new revisions, the front-end queries the CKAN revision interface to get the list of new packages.
  1. The front-end queries CKAN for each new package one-by-one.
  1. A new user request to the front-end will include the info about the new packages.

The package addition could be achieved in 1 revision, 100 revisions or some compromise:

  • If it is 1 revision then potentially there are problems displaying the long list of packages in the 'recent changes'.
  • If it is 100 revisions, then the notification webhook would be called 100 times, which creates unnecessary load on the front-end. Suppose each Webhook call-back (step 2) triggers the front-end to make a call to CKAN to get the latest revisions (step3), in this case it would make 100 calls, most of them fruitless, causing unnecessary load on CKAN.

This use case suggests a bulk import of packages should go into one revision, and therefore generate one revision notification message and 100 package notification messages. The front-end client should listen to only revision messages.

#334 defect pudo dread closed fixed Wrong link for package feed icon

This is a problem with the package page e.g. http://ckan.net/package/open-election-data-project . The feed icon links to [1] and the text next to it "Subscribe" links to [2]. Surely these should be the same? The second link seems to right one to me.

#335 enhancement dread dread v1.1 closed fixed Post-package-edit redirect to configurable URL

As a

third-party interface to a CKAN instance

I want to

link to CKAN's package creation/editing pages. On 'commit', have the user redirected back to a URL in my interface that I can control. Also, when the package is created new, I need to be told what the new package's name is on return.

Design

  1. The 'return URL' is passed as a parameter to CKAN.
  2. CKAN substitutes the package name into the return URL.

Example

Front-end links to: http://ca.ckan.net/package/new?return_to=http://datadotgc.ca/dataset/<NAME> (but with the parameter URL-encoded)

When finished editing and the user commits, CKAN redirects the user to: http://datadotgc.ca/dataset/pollution_data

#342 enhancement dread dread closed fixed JSONP parameter in API

As a

CKAN client using JQuery

I want to

call the CKAN API and instead of receiving back JSON I get JSONP. i.e. "%s(%s)" % (callback, json_content)

Suggested implementation

All API calls allow the JSONP 'callback' parameter to be specified in the request and this wraps the JSON response. See suggested patch to rest.py by Donovan Hide:

http://knowledgeforge.net/ckan/trac/attachment/ticket/336/resource.patch

Test

import re import unittest

def test_jsonp_callback():

response = self.app.get('/api/search/resource/?url=http://www.scraperwiki.com&callback=jsoncallback') match = re.match('jsoncallback\(.*\);',response) self.assertTrue(match)

response = self.app.get('/api/search/resource/?url=http://www.scraperwiki.com') match = re.match('jsoncallback\(.*\);',response) self.assertFalse(match)

I think the point needs to be made that JSONP only works for GET requests and not POST/PUT/DELETE, so there needs to be a check for that in the _finish_ok method.

(thanks to Donovan Hide for test)

#350 enhancement dread ckan-backlog reopened Search engine optimisation

Need to research what can easily be done to improve CKAN packages in the search rankings.

Comments from Glen Barnes:

We've been pretty successful at SEO without even really trying (see http://www.google.co.nz/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=auckland+google+transit+feed&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&redir_esc=&ei=dsYSTOzJLs2eceuZiI8I as an example). This to me is key. If we are to make data available it has to be findable which is the main reason for a catalogue. There are probably things we should be doing on CKAN like using slugged urls (http://www.ckan.net/package/ascoe -> http://www.ckan.net/package/ascoe/atmospheric-chemistry-studies-in-the-oceanic-environment), setting the H1 tag correctly ("Atmospheric Chemistry Studies in the Oceanic Environment" on the example above). Some basic SEO 101 on page optimisations.

#352 enhancement dread dread closed wontfix Package notification worker - sends XML-RPC

As an

external front-end

I want to

be notified (by XML-RPC) about package creations and updates.

Implementation

  1. A message queue worker waits for package update notifications
  2. On reception, it constructs XML detailing the changes and PUSHes it to a configured URI.

Rather than turning the package fields into XML fields, the JSON dump of the list of package dictionaries will become a single XML parameter.

Config - in the CKAN config will be:

  • URI to callback to
  • API version to use (version 2 gives packages referred by ID not name)

GET to: /api/2/rest/resource/a3dd8f64-9078-4f04-845c-e3f047125028

Authorization

  1. Have it generic (ie. not per resource) and use an action/role on system
  2. Require all resources to attach to packages an inherit their permissions (i.e. read/write etc if and only read/write on associated packages)
  3. Introduce Resource in authorization system (requires migration)

Mixed model

#362 defect dread dread closed invalid Ratings should not be created with a GET

Background

In the Web UI, when you rate a package it simply links to something like:

http://ckan.net/package/rate/mke-liquor-licenses?rating=3

This creates a GET request.

This is bad because:

  • Search engine crawlers follow links to find pages, and in this case end up creating a rating (although we've got a robots.txt to try and avoid this)
  • There are occasions when we want to make a CKAN instance read-only, so we put a <LimitExcept? GET> Apache instruction in. But the database may still get written for these ratings.
  • Best practise for web requests is for GET to be a read-only request.

Analysis using pg_top reveals orphaed processes:

https://trac.dataco.coi.gov.uk/projects/datagov/ticket/460#comment:6

This followed switching ckan instances on the dgu machine. Do these hang around forever clogging up a db server? Can switching between instances be smoothed to avoid this?

#441 requirement dread dread ckan-v1.3 closed duplicate CKAN read-only state

When performing maintenance on CKAN it may be necessary to make CKAN obviously read-only, telling the users and restricting access to 'edit' pages.

Examples of use:

  • Administrator wants to upgrade CKAN or move it to another server. During this time the database is being administered and either edits are lost or can't be done.
  • A CKAN is used just for distributing metadata and so is always read-only. Updates may still arrive through direct db manipulation, e.g.:
    • another (but writable) CKAN instance is connected to the same db
    • restoring database dumps from another CKAN db
  • Should a security be breached, all editing could be stopped

#474 task dread dread closed wontfix Questions related to fi.ckan.net

Several questions to answer (and see file in email). To respond to the Finnish team and copy all Q&A to the ckan-discuss list.

1 ) I have played with two different datasets to get the metadata from those imported to CKAN. The other dataset is in PCAXIS format and other one is in Excel format. Please find the scripts + sample files attached in a zip file that contains instructions too to run the scripts. I looked at import scripts written in object oriented manner and getdata samples in CKAN but it was easier for me too write these from scratch (copied the unicrap function from CKAN samples). If I run the PCAXIS import script I get Unicode decode error (see errors file). When I use the unicrap function then the error does not appear in logs. I assume this is some Python environment setting issue. Of course I would like to run the script without unicrap function to get scandic letter imported correctly to ckan(and displayed in WUI). In Excel case there is no scandic letter issue which is kind of strange but this probably relates how the Excel library handles encoding.

To be honest the whole unicode/encoding/decoding issue has been quite difficult to deal with and debug. I hope I would get proper environment configuration to handle scandic letters.

2 ) It seem in CKAN by default the localisation file contains 462 strings. The transifex link Rufus sent contains 400 strings. Is transifex the one we should use as localisation file ? Where are the rest 62 strings then fetched from or are they needed at all. I have found that as I have been using the .po file coming in CKAN source (which has API translations too) this also causes similar unicode problems when an error in API occurs (the API error messages containing scandic letters provide the similar UnicodeDecoding? errors as mentioned above). So, it seems the unicode issues appear in various cases. Maybe a proper environment settings will be able to prevent also these problems... If transifex is the one to use I can prepare it and maybe then you could upload it to fi.ckan.net as there will be also other people checking the translations. To run the test and see the API translation errors especially in pcaxis case I would recommend to install attached FI translations to your environment and include lang = fi configuration. It looks like the API errors does not come when running default lang = en.

3 ) Is it possible to change the license selection/options available in license field drop-down ? Where are these located and can these be modified locally ?

4) It looks like the values stored in package extra fields are not searchable. Is this intentional ? It looks more or less that all other fields can be searched using free-text search in CKAN.

5) How package dependencies are defined and managed ? For instance we want to import some packages in a manner that the other package is a child package of another. Does API support this and/or is this possible to do in WUI ?

Best Regards, Henri

#508 task dread dread ckan-v1.2 closed fixed Create branch ultrastable
  • Create a branch named ultrastable that represents latest version of 1.0 as found on dgu
    • Going forward ultrastable will act as stable - 1 (and either ultrastable or stable will be on the rock-solid production systems such as dgu)
  • Do not deprecate the stable or metastable branch for the present
  • Ask for recommendations on mailing list about best practice for branching (e.g. versioned based versus a simple HEAD versus stable) and how this affects standard operations such as applying bugfixes.
    • For useful discussion of how to do backporting and applying bugfix patches see: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0374/#backport
    • NB: in general do not always have to apply in stable/ultrastable and merge upwards for bugfixes -- can use transplant extension as well.

When you create a package using the API, you might get a core field name wrong e.g. 'title' mispelt as 'titel' or 'groups' (which can't be specified in package creation). Currently that field will be ignored by the API. It should warn or give an error, rather than give 200 OK.

#514 defect dread ckan-v1.2 closed duplicate Inconsistent use of 'location' header in API

When you create a package then the 'location' header gets set. This doesn't happen for any other domain objects. I think this should be consistent - either none or all.

I've removed the info about the header in the docs in the meantime.

Multiple ONS records can go into one package e.g. Stats for Jan, Stats for Feb, Stats for Mar etc.

We already identify an existing package by 'external_id'. Now need to find package by title and an extra field (department in ONS case) and allow it to merge in resource and tags. Alert if rest of meta data is different.

#653 requirement dread ckan-backlog new Trackback links for packages

When people link to a package, a track-back link is auto-created. (Similar system as for blogs).

As suggested by Tim Davies:

Allowing some form of ‘track back’ against datasets When a non-technical user comes to look at a dataset it would be really useful for them to be able to see if anyone has created an interface interpretation of it already.

I found quite a few cases in research of end-users struggling to make sense of a dataset when good interfaces to that data had already been built and blogged about, but without there being any link from the dataset listing to those data uses. Accepting track backs could also make it easier for technical users to find blog posts / shared code etc. relating to a given dataset.

#661 task dread ckan-v1.3 closed fixed Create CKAN site tester

From Rufus:

'blackbox' testing command (read-only only would be fine) -- very
useful for upgrade on sunday

On blackbox thinking of something like:

paster test-site http://hmg.ckan.net {package-name}

Or (maybe better):

paster test-site --site-spec {myconfig.json}

my-config is a json file with info for testing (could overload
--config rather than site-spec):

site-url: http://hmg.ckan.net/
package-name:
package-title:
...etc ...

Then:

Test front-page
Test /revision/
Test /package/{page}  -- check title
Test /package/history
Test /api/rest/package/ ...
Test /api/search/package ...
etc
