10:32 pkiraly @poikilotherm, Hi
10:33 pkiraly poikilotherm, I am thinking of improving the metadata block import. My idea is to base it on the Solr Schema API.
10:34 pkiraly instead of files, which is your solution
10:35 pkiraly It requires a change in Solr configuration, which enables the Schema API
10:36 pkiraly and it also includes changes in Dataverse code base, to call Solr API directly
10:36 pkiraly This way we can get rid of file management
10:38 pkiraly But this kind of change would also makes your recent work on this (the xinclude based solution) outdated

13:43 pdurbin pkiraly: hi. I think he's on vacation. Or moving. Or both. :)
14:25 donsizemore joined #dataverse
14:26 pkiraly pdurbin, yes, it seems so. I will try next week as well
14:28 pkiraly pdurbin, Is an issue a must have for a PR? In the last days I worked on some custom metadata block, and found that if the spreadsheet has an error, the API gives cryptic answer sometimes. I worked on the Java code, but hasn't yet created an issue.
14:35 pdurbin pkiraly: it's fine if you just create a pull request
14:36 pdurbin (but we do appreciate issues)
14:50 pkiraly pdurbin, one more question: the files which test the rest API calls has a special in their name like RO, but I forget what is that exactly. Do you happen to remember?

14:51 pdurbin IT
14:51 pkiraly thanks!
14:51 pdurbin DatasetsIT, etc
14:51 pdurbin IT stands for Integration Test
14:52 Jim54 @pdurbin - the community emails about a custom metadata block - seems like he's trying the metadatablocks.json file/api instead of the api to add a new tsv - is that a mistake?
14:53 pdurbin Yeah, that's why I was trying to get him to verify that his block has been loaded.

16:11 donsizemore @pdurbin knock knock?
16:12 donsizemore @pdurbin low-key freak-out over here
16:12 pdurbin !!!
16:12 pdurbin what are we freaking out about?
16:12 donsizemore @pdurbin two externaltools. one is data explorer (file level). one is matthew's merge app (dataset level)
16:13 donsizemore @pdurbin prior to today, the dataset merge button went to his webapp; the explore button to data explorer
16:13 donsizemore @pdurbin but as of today, they both go to matthew's webapp _IF_ terms of use are enabled
16:13 donsizemore @pdurbin matthew says the path is different when terms of use are enabled
16:14 donsizemore @pdurbin and... we need terms of use enabled. matthew suspects a bug in 4.20, but any suggestions are welcome
16:15 pdurbin Danny opened an issue about this a while back. I can't remember which tools were being scrambled. Probaby two file level tools.
16:16 donsizemore we've changed the order of them in the externaltools table. matthew's dataset-level tool seems to take precedence no matter what
16:17 donsizemore in our case it seems to choose the dataset-level tool at the file level
16:18 pdurbin Definitely sounds like a bug. Can you please open an issue? I'm not sure what a workaround would be.
16:19 donsizemore @pdurbin now that i go to the file landing page, things work.
16:21 pdurbin ok
16:50 pkiraly pdurbin, https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/pull/6921 with integration test!
16:51 pdurbin pkiraly: thanks!
17:46 donsizemore @pdurbin so... thu-mai says advanced search is broken on demo.dataverse.org?
17:46 donsizemore @pdurbin (it throws NPEs on our 4.20 test instance)
17:47 donsizemore @pdurbin she takes it back. advanced search does work on demo.
17:49 pdurbin phew
17:49 pdurbin donsizemore: doing an "index all" might help your test instance
17:51 pdurbin donsizemore: also, I'd like to pick your brain about Matthew's dataset level tool.
17:52 donsizemore i've got the correct schema.xml and solrconfig.xml, cleared solr timestamps and did a 'continue' reindex
17:52 donsizemore i'm spinning up a 4.20 instance in vagrant to poke at the dataset-level dealy (using wholetale)
17:53 donsizemore our current issue is we can do an advanced search by title or subject, but not by variable name or label
17:53 pdurbin weird, should work
17:55 pdurbin I can't seem to force an NPE on Harvard Dataverse.
18:03 donsizemore now we're down to variable labels
18:04 pdurbin cool
18:04 pdurbin time for sprint planning
