It seems that searching for extras_foo:value works with solr, but extras_foo.bar:value doesn't. No theory on why.

I'm not sure why some timestamps are missing microseconds in the ckan.net data, but plenty seem to. This causes this exception when viewing the package rss feed:

Only seen with ckan 1.4.3b

This overlaps with Sean's follow support (for activity streams) and so will be dealt with there.

After the ckan migrate process, sqlalcehmy reflect does not work and causes an error when reflecting indexes. A bug report needs to be put into sqlalchemy.

Revisions aren't assigned to packages. Where are they coming from? This seems to have been occurring since the upgrade to 1.4.3b a couple of weeks ago?

This was removed during the auth refactoring, but it's needed in the old controllers

The email sending functionality (e.g for password reset) does not work on thedatahub.org and IATI (and probably some other instances) when using an address which is not a okfn.org one.

Could not send reset link: SMTPRecipientsRefused({u'amercadero@…': (550, 'relay not permitted')},)

As I said, adria.mercader@… works fine. The SMTP server used mail.okfn.org

e.g. this particular revision on ckan.net: ​http://ckan.net/api/rest/revision/9601fbcb-03a7-4ebc-981d-5aa16df4852c (most others have not been approved) Causes 500 error.

In password reset, it gets confused if you have two similar users. This is because with the string the user provides, it searches several fields, not just name but also fullname and email address, allowing you to search for these. But only name is unique.

Specific problem: Ira searches for "Irina" then it finds both: <User name=irina fullname=Irina [email protected] ] and <User name=shevski fullname=Ira email=> (I think)

Maybe need to choose which field it searches?

When you reset a password, the flash message saying "check your email" sometimes doesn't display on the next page. You then click on the link in your email and it displays on that page (i.e. too late).

Seen this on thedatahub.org. To do with the proxy caching?

A possible bug in CKAN when I tried deleting users using "paster --plugin=ckan user delete" command.

To reproduce the bug do the following:

1. Create a user with an ID (which in my case was a user's full name)

that contains non-unicode caracters like Norwegian "æ", "ø", or "å".

2. Make sure that you can see something like the example below:

(pyenv) rm@mycomputer:$ paster --plugin=ckan user Users: name=Rustæm

3. Then try deleting the user with following command:

(pyenv) rm@mycomputer:$ paster --plugin=ckan user delete "Rustæm"

You should now get a python encoding error. I know that this is quite rare case, but in our case it caused some trouble. Could you guys have a look at this bug?

CKAN ver. 1.3.3.

To reproduce:

1. Create a package with two tags the same: "bulk bulk"
2. Click 'save'
3. 500 ERROR - 'Server Error'

On same cases this exception is thrown when logging in:

File '/home/adria/dev/envs/iati/src/ckan/ckan/controllers/user.py', line 252 in logged_in
  user_dict = get_action('user_show')(context,data_dict)

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name'

Instead of this:

extras: {
type: ""Primary source""
license_id: ""localauth-withrights""
publisher_frequency: ""2Pre\u00f1o \u20ac $ \u00e0dri\u00e0""
}

we should return this:

extras: {
type: "Primary source",
license_id: "localauth-withrights",
publisher_frequency: "2Preño € $ àdrià",
}

e.g. ​http://ckan.net/group/edit/history

Module ckan.controllers.group:135 in edit
<<          try:
                   old_data = get_action('group_show')(context, data_dict)
                   c.grouptitle = old_data.get('title')
                   c.groupname = old_data.get('name')
>>  old_data = get_action('group_show')(context, data_dict)
Module ckan.logic.action.get:347 in group_show
<<      if group is None:
               raise NotFound
       
           check_access('group_show',context, data_dict)
>>  raise NotFound

This stems from a feature to allow you to prefill fields in the authorizationgroup creation form.

e.g. ​http://ckan.net/authorizationgroup/new?name=science

It's not tested, not supported in the new logic layer and therefore broken. I don't think anyone uses it - can remove it.

I have no idea whether this was a deliberate decision or not, but there is a total absence of any UI with which to delete resources from the currently deployed version of thedatahub.org.

When paster db clean is run, the search index should also be cleared.

SOLR search doesn't support searching for part of an extra field, but it does for other fields.

i.e. title="One Two Three" matches q=one AND q=title:one and geographic_coverage="England Scotland" matches q=England BUT NOT q=geographic_coverage:England

This problem emerged when we went to SOLR in #1275 (CKAN 1.5a). Tests were skipped.

This is could be a problem for DGU and maybe elsewhere.

Either: thedatahub.org does not display 'add a dataset' top navigation link or the 'create dataset' main central link to logged in user - instead showing 'sign up' link in the central box. It does however display the 'my account' and 'logout' link in the top right correctly.

Navigating to another part of the site (e.g. search or about or my account) does bring the 'add a dataset' navigation link back and the functionality works.

Works fine on test.ckan.net so only on thedatahub.

Not obviously a caching problem, since I did try clearing cache.

OR: it displays as if you're logged in even when you log out. The links doesn't work and prompt you to log in though.

Integrating ckanext-admin into core has thrown up a number of problems:

• Look & feel does not match the rest of the site
• Tests are not passing
• On the trash page, clicking 'undelete' triggers a purge
• Using the purge functionality is dangerous; deleting and purging the latest revision will corrupt a dataset (& several corrupt datasets have been found on thedatahub.org)
• Trash page can contain nested form tags in certain cases (breaking test harness & form redirection)

Perhaps the importer deletes them before re-importing. We shouldn't have deleted resources, so let's investigate.

Needs to update on:

1. language - It's broken on thedatahub.org if you change to German and then click on the CKAN icon top-left to go to thedatahub.org again.

AND

2. whether signed in or not - #1373

BUT not latest revisions (which is what it was)

Or get rid of etag caching on this page and others?

(Editing a dataset) If the second resource contains any validation error then it says "Resources: Package resource(s) incomplete" and "Resource 1:".

if you want your ckan to reside not at ​http://yourhost.org/ but rather e.g. at ​http://yourhost.org/ckan/ you can use this hint ​http://wiki.pylonshq.com/display/pylonsdocs/Configuration+Files and set ckan.site_url accordingly in your .ini. However, there are some instances where internal links are created without the required prefix.

Graphs don't show any more at ​http://thedatahub.org/stats

This might well be a bot, but not POSTing the email field should not cause an exception - it should be 400 and then the sysadmin doesn't get these nags.

e.g. cz.ckan.net has lang=cz but when you click on Home page link "English" it flashes message "Language has been set to: English" but the rest of the page is still Czech.

Validation error is incorrect arguments, so should be a "400 Bad Request" response. "409 Conflict" is for when there is a conflict creating two resources with the same identifier. Yet we get 409 for all validation errors.

On some occasions (apparently random), the documents indexed in a specific SOLR core get mixed with different site_ids.

E.g: We look for all documents in the testing.iatiregistry.org core, faceted by site_id. We would expect all documents to have site_id = iati_testing, but some of them have site_id = iatiregistry.org

​http://okfn-solr.fry-it.com:8080/solr/testing.iatiregistry.org/select?indent=on&version=2.2&q=*:*&fq=+state:active&facet=true&facet.field=site_id

<lst name="facet_fields">
<lst name="site_id">
<int name="iati_testing">265</int>
<int name="iatiregistry.org">255</int>
</lst>
</lst>

If we compare one of the records which disappeared from the "iati_testing" site_id in both the production and testing SOLR cores of the server, the records are exactly the same, including the indexed_ts property:

​http://okfn-solr.fry-it.com:8080/solr/iatiregistry.org/select?indent=on&version=2.2&q=id:97d1ab0d-b203-4757-8f4e-a0c84d2f759f&facet=true&facet.field=site_id

Note that the response from the URLs shown may vary, as the testing site could have been reindexed.

paster db load ckan.pgdump will load in the database but not update the search index, no we're using SOLR.

implementation

We can't tack on 'rebuild' to this command, because it needs a 'db upgrade' first. I'm tempted to make 'db load' do the upgrade and rebuild all in one command.

(using RESTful Model API)

The reason is the POST is expecting the group to be expressed as a dict, not the list of names that GET returns.

Using curl you always get English, even if ckan.locale_default=de. Find out why. (1.5b)

Maybe we should disable locale detection for this release if lots of people's browsers don't have it set correctly (e.g. chinese with us internet explorer)

When you do a search like this:

http://thedatahub.org/api/search/package?q=tauberer+census&all_fields=1

the "extra" fields (e.g. "triples", "shortname") get missed off the results. The docs say it should be a "full record" and I don't see any reason why this is missed off.

This is a problem because search all_fields is the only way for clients and front-ends to get packages in bulk. They end up (like lodcloud) doing thousands of requests to get packages individually.

e.g. package_register_get.

The extension needs upgrading:

No module named webstore.database

The other option is to delay this functionality and merge with the publisher dashboards after the group refactor.

John, David Raznick, David Read, Ira, what do you think?

When I delete a package from the pylons shell I need to remove that package's entry from the Solr search index. That doesn't happen at the moment.

It would be useful if the search-index rebuild command could take a list of package IDs to rebuild.

Max length of package name and version field is 100 characters, but the validators seem to enforce this, although in the web interface the javascript limits typing in these fields, so it just affects the API really.

The license is not displayed any more, unless there are resources e.g. ​http://test.ckan.net/dataset/dtest#section-basic-information is OGL, but that's not shown.

The error reports do not have a "value". The original task in the task status table is not made and it tries to make a new task, but can't.

Issue: why is the original task_status entry not made?

kindly: there is a chance of course that the task is quicker than the plugin to get to the point where it needs to update the table.

kindly: so we may have to find a way to update the task status before we run the task.

kindly: I think you can supply a task_id to celery. i.e we make our own guid as the task id. So we can use that one to populate the task status.

1. Call ckan.logic.action.update:package_update()
2. Pass in a context dict with "allow_partial_update":True
3. Pass in a partial data dict containing only the package's ID and those fields that you want to update (e.g. title).

=> All of the package's resource will have their statuses changed to "deleted".

The "allow_partial_update" option should apply to the resource lists of packages, but it does not.

I have also tried to use extras fields to store information about relationships between datasets. I found out that if you first add relationship using CKAN API into dataset relationships attribute and than you add extras field for the same relationship with key in format "parent_of:dataset_name" or "child_of:dataset_name", storing this extras field will clear all relationships in relationships attribute stored earlier.

I might be some kind of bug but I suppose you will know better. Is it possible to use relationships attribute and extras field for relationships at the same time?

• API call documented but don't exist any more: dataset create_slug
• API call not documented but exists: is_slug_valid
• API call not documented, badly sited in API and using custom code in controller (not logic layer): /package/autocomplete

This query caused ckan to except because ckan/controllers/api.py doesn't catch SearchError? and SearchQueryError?:

curl http://localhost:5000/api/action/package_search -d '{"sort": "metadata_modified"}'

If you modify your user name, it looks like you are logged out, but you are actually logged in and therefore can't login. (Reported by Pablo)

As a work around, you need to logout and log back in.

implementation

• We should force this by auto-logging you out (DR: maybe!)

If you edit your user name, the number of revisions you made returns to 0. This is because in the Revision object, the user's name is stored, rather than the user's ID.

rgrp: We can reconnect that pretty easily (and have a longer term solution that involves not using the usernames but the userids in in the Revision objects so we don't hvae this problem in future!)

E.g. uploading a file with spaces in it: OECD Monthly Exchange Rates.zip

Gives a 404 Not Found response to the following file: ​http://test.ckan.org/api/storage/metadata/2011-12-05T193046/OECD%20Monthly%20Exchange%20Rates.zip

The upload wheel keeps spinning and the user is not informed that the upload has failed.

Analysis: turns out that google storage (possibly s3 but not checked) replaces with ' ' in keys with '+' on upload. This breaks things because we try and look up metadata about upload using the filename/key we put in but of course that does not exist because google has changed name.

Fix is trivial: replace ' ' in keys / filenames with '-'.
