Assignment tool corrupted .doc files. When using the "Download All" functionality of assignments, an attached .doc file was corrupted upon re-upload. This corruption appeared to only affect .doc files.

Grades, Inline, and Comments missing from upload.

If one edits an assignment that had been associated to a gradebook entry, the drop down for association shows "Select a gradebook entry" instead of the already associated entry.
in editing an assignment that's associated w/a gradebook item ...MY version shows the dropdown defaulted to the correct GB assignment, with the rest of the GB items also in the dropdown (if you want to change the association, I suppose).  nw

NPE in AssignmentAction.build_student_view_submission_confirmation_context. Seems like the submission object's submit time was recorded as "null." Since once the student sees the confirmation page, he must have just completed the submission... there should be a recorded submission time.

Previewing assignment showed all buttons as inactive. A student reported the following problem: "I had a problem submitting today. After I uploaded, I hit "preview". I ended up with all buttons dimmed and nowhere to go! I logged out and re-uploaded and it worked ok (no preview this time)." Upon further investigation, it appears that he was previewing an assignment that he was resubmitting.
on smartsite-test - ran through this as student.  worked fine for me, but there was an oddity.  for the INITIAL submission, the original status was not started and when submitted for the FIRST time, status changed to RE-submitted.  I had not previewed at this point, because above says the problem was with re-submission.  as IOR, graded and allowed re-submission.  as student, updated assignment, previewed, all buttons were active and re-submit worked fine.  repeated grading and submitted multiple times.  worked each time.  nw
on production - creation, preview, initial submission, re-submission all work as expected.  additionally, status reflects reality and buttons are appropriately labeled.
Per Nancy's report, it appears there are no functional change with this fix. LJW

SAK-11180

Assignment event tracking needs revision. Assignments is currently logging too many events of "asn.read.assignment" (EVENT_ACCESS_ASSIGNMENT).
When an Instructor or TA views the list of submissions for an assignment, all the assignments submissions are read, and one event is logged for every submission. For large sites, this can lead to huge numbers of events being logged.
Our production stats show that asn.read.assignment is the 3rd-most frequent event (42021 events in 24 hours).
OTOH EVENT_ACCESS_ASSIGNMENT_SUBMISSION which you'd expect to see logged if a TA/Instructor clicks through to a specific assignment is not logged at all.
Assignment event logging needs to be reviewed urgently, as this is a performance issue for large sites.
The QA for this should involve carrying out a number of typical operations as a student, TA and lecturer in a course site with existing assignments with submissions (say an assignment with 100 submissions) and examining the event log records in SAKAI_EVENT that result.
The event tracking lines are commented out. Fixed in r34693 for trunk, and merged into post-2-4 in r34694.
And merged into 2-4-x in r34704.
Further fix to remove the asn.read log from the Assignment tool is checked in as r34841 for trunk, r34847 for 2-4-x and r34849 for post-2-4.
Logging issues will not be tested by QA team. LJW

Schedule (Calendar) tool - critical performance issues. Extreme slowdown with the schedule tool in a production environment, especially for student's My Workspace schedule. Rendering a week with zero events takes over 20 seconds, perhaps all schedule events that have ever taken place are being loaded from the db on each view? Performance is also terrible in course sites with lots of schedule events (again, even if you are viewing a month with no events on it, but the course has had many events in the past). Problem is most noticeable with several hundred calendar events, which I was able to test by importing several years worth of Outlook or Meeting Maker exported events. Fixed by leveraging SQL to get events within specified time range. This should be tested/verified with an Oracle database (my testing used MySql).

sak-11213

Yes

Calendar uses wrong format in date select.

sak-11204

Schedule (frequency not working). Newly created events with frequency only display once. Existing events with frequency only display once. Note: in this particular case the problem appears to be human error. The instructor was misinterpreting the frequency settings so instead of once a week for 16 weeks, she was asking for once every 16 weeks. The confusion is by selecting 'weekly" the instructor still needs to select the period as 1 week.

Inactive sites should not send entries to the synopsis calendar. If a user decides to make a site inactive (My Workspace - Preferences - Customize tabs), then entries from that site's calendar should not continued to be displayed on the calendar in My Workspace. This corrected behaviour will make Calendar consistent with Messages which already does this.

Chat scrolls the browser window to the bottom right corner on page load. "Note: Make your browser window small, something 800 by 600 for maximum impact of the bug. Steps to reproduce: 1. Click on Chat Room in the Tool List. 2. Observe: The focus will move to the message textarea, and the browser window will scroll to the bottom of the page.
Unfortunately this loses the context for the page. This is especially funky in the Berkeley bSpace skin where we lose the left side of the skin as well as the top.
Seems that this is a combination of the setFocus() function and the setMainFrameHeight() function. Because setMainFrameHeight() has a delay in it, it gets called after setFocus(). Because it's getting called after setFocus() it's picking up an unnecessary scroll for the frame.
Additionally, it appears that setFocus is being called by both the room frame and the roomControl frame. I don't know if this is having an effect or not on the bug. setMainFrameHeight() is also be called on both frames, but that might be necessary."

autoddl for Citations causes schema errors on repeated restarts. If autoddl is set to true, on repeated restarts of tomcat, each restart inserts all schema fields again. Over a period of time, each field will be duplicated multiple times - once for each time the server has been restarted. This is not generally a problem in production because autoddl is turned off. It is mostly a problem for developers who restart frequently. Proposed solution (revision 34009): drop schema tables if they already exist.

Resources: upload new version email. When a user goes in and uploads a new version of the file, there is not an option to not email everyone in the site, or to email everyone.

    Uploaded a new version for the following, appropriate notification was sent for:
  • file uploads
  • txt documentation
  • html documentation
    Tested 'Editing Content' and always received notification for the following types:
  • html pages
  • txt documents
  • urls
    ...fixed to here EXCEPT after e-mail is sent out, notification defaults to NONE.
    do we have the forms option??  nw
    Forms - no notification is ever sent.
    To test this one needs to add the Forms tool to the site, select an xsd file (I used one called feedback that I will attach) and publish it to the site. After that, you will be able to create a form item within resources. I created three - one to send out high notification, one for low and one for none. As I stated above, I have not received any notification.
    Citations - no notification ever received.
    To be fair, I was having trouble just creating a citation list. Each time I attempted to create a new citation I would receive an exception, however a list appeared to be created. As for notifications, I was only able to go in to test by 'Editing Details' and setting the notification to high. |

Resources: cognitive mismatch with implementation of copy and paste functionality. Our users have reported that the implementation of the copy and paste functionality requires a mental shift. The users choose to copy an item from the action menu and so they expect to paste the item using the same action menu. When they are unable to do so, they then search and find the paste icon that has been added next to the add menu. If we were to include paste on the action menu and only make it selectable when the copy action has been invoked, this would be in line with the way operating systems such as the Mac OS and Windows handle copy and paste. Is it feasible to use this familiar approach rather than what is currently implemented?
Desired action:

  • After copying a resource, a 'Paste' option should appear at the top of the 'actions' list, above 'Copy'.
  • The paste icon should continue to appear where it is as an alternative.

New files sometimes fail to show default name after upload and appear with only an icon. Problem is recurrent but not consistent, disappears after visiting any other screen. The first URL or file you upload into a site doesn't have it's name displayed, but all subsequent files display correctly. This is consistently reproducible at the moment.
Test 1:

  • create a new account on (server)
  • create a new project site
  • add a file
  • it will not display the title
  • add another file
  • it will display the titles for both
    Test 2:
  • create a new project site
  • add a URL
  • it will not display the title
  • add another URL
  • it will display the titles for both
    Test 3:
  • create a new project site
  • add a folder
  • it will display the title
  • add a file
  • it will not display the title
  • add another file
  • it will display the titles for both URLs.

Step 6: Downloaded the "moved" 850mb log file. Result = successful. (also confirmed separate ~850mb blobs still exist on the filesystem)
Step 7: Uploaded another file, size = 200mb. copied both this file and the 850mb log file simultaneously to a new folder. Result=successful. (also confirmed duplicated blobs on the filesystem).
Step 8: Simultaneously moved the 200mb and 850mb files to a new folder. Result = successful.

Reordering Resources changes the Modified date for all items. When using the reorder widget within Resources, reordering items changes the modified date for all items within the folder in which the reorder is taking place.
Example:
Site PSYCH 101 W07 has 4 folders:
Week 3 (modified 1/2/07)
Week 4 (modified 1/4/07)
Week 1 (modified (12/30/06)
Week 2 (modified (1/3/07)
The user reorders the folders on 1/9/07 so that they appear in sequential order (week 1, week 2, etc.).
But when the reorder is complete, all of the folders have a modified date of 1/9/07.
This is unexpected behavior. Just because a folder's order is changed does not change any of the permissions or it's contents.
THUS, the reorder widget should NOT change the modified date of the items it is reordering.

Format pre-existing Dublin Core dates as readable string. At present, pre-existing dates in the 'Optional Properties' metadata will be displayed as e.g. "200707250123456789"
This is because they are now displayed as a text field rather than a date picker widget.
I think that presenting people with "200707250123456789" will cause them to assume that it has broken and their data has been lost - so we'll just have this bug back with us again.
Can you put in some basic formatting so that it corrects it to
"200707250123456789"
"2007 / 07 / 25"
It will also need some way of indicating that it's displaying as yyyy / mm / dd, if we're not making it locale-consistent. At a pinch, you could put in a string after the date within the entry box so it initially displays as
"2007 / 07 / 25 (yyyy / mm / dd) "
(Not ideal in terms of translation - though at least in Spanish and Portuguese 'd' and 'm' are still correct!)
I don't know where the hour / minute settings are coming from - they aren't in 2.2 and (after consultation with some researchers) aren't used / useful for that particular metadata. I think we can drop the hour minute bit.
Verified that the string of numbers is indeed converted to a readable date.
Merged into 2.4.x - r34799.

Alert: missing key: failed error when attaching a file with a long filename.

I tried with the file named "this is a really long file name that has maybe too many chars in it that might mess up sakai but the only way to find out is to give it a try so do that and see what happens.txt"
The "failed" key is used for ServerOverloadException, which is the wrong exception for a name that's too long. We need an API change, so the three addAttachmentResource() methods also throw IdLengthException to cover this error.

Can we change the message please - "You already uploaded a spreadsheet using that title, click back to change the title" or similar?
Please change to "The same title was applied to a previous spreadsheet upload. Please choose a different title."
Fixed, merged to 2-4-x.
Should now say: "The same title was applied to a previous spreadsheet upload. Please choose a different title."
Please verify. LJW

Clicking on paging widget right-arrow causes widget to wrap. If you click on the pager widget right-arrow in FF2, it causes the widget to wrap across 2 lines, which means you have to click on the (now relocated) right-arrow again. When clicking on the right arrow, the page stays the same as it should and new page loads properly. It's fixed in trunk, 2-4-x and post-2.4.  hmmm...glad to know it wasn't just me that had this problem.  it's also fixed.   nw (tongue)

Mailtool

Module Name: mailtool

Jira

QA Test

Description

sak-8737

Yes

Clicking 'Select None' in the mailtool generates a 'Validation Error: Value is required' Error. Trying to clear previous selections (using scrolling list method) using the 'Select None' button produces the error: 'Validation Error: Value is required' and does not clear the selections. Update: Please note that this only occurs after you have sent one message and are returning to send a subsequent message and your previous selections of recipient(s) are there. Guessing that the 'Select None' really thinks nothing is selected, but in fact, there are items highlighted in the recipient list. Actually, this behavior was noticed and partially intended. That's not related to "Select None". Empty subject line is the trigger for this validation.

  • Clearer, more user-friendly text would help a good deal, but:
  • Shouldn't the message appear only if you try to send a message without a title? (People do sometimes send messages with only a title.) Showing it as soon as you attach a file seems a little premature.
  • It shouldn't appear on "Cancel" and should go away on Cancel if it's already there. When it doesn't go away on Cancel, it seems as though you're stuck with an error message and can't do anything else.
  • The behavior seems inconsistent. Every time I think I've figured out what makes it appear, it doesn't. Then it does...
    Suggested text should be:
    Alert: You cannot send a message until you have specified a subject and at least one recipient.
    correction: figured out... Adding more text would conflict with previous fix. So most easy inconsistent solution is not validating subject text (it's not checking any text in message).

Resources (metaobj)

Module Name: metaobj

Jira

QA Test

Description

sak-10171

N/A

Resources and DropBox performance problem caused in part by form-item query. When building directories in the Resources tool, there's a query from metaobj that shows up very frequently in the mysql slow-query log. It happens in the method that checks whether there are any forms defined, which determines whether the "create" action is available for form-items. That method is called once for every folder. It would help performance if this query could be done less often, but it would be even better if the query could be replaced with some way of determining the same information much more efficiently.
This has been merged to 2.4.x. Unable to run performance tests due to RAC issues. LJW

sak-10145

Yes

Resources can not be seen in admin resources area. The listing of resources in the admin resources area doesn't appear in an installation with many attachments. This problem presents itself in the UMich test instance because of it's size. Debugging shows that the time seems to be spent in a query to get the xml from CONTENT_COLLECTION for all attachments. Merged into 2.4.x branch - r32255, r32257, r32346. Requires admin access to test. I viewed a single Resource file in Administration Workspace successfully on both systems. Attempts to open folder with the next smallest file counts (1702 on prod and 1795 on test) took so long I quit. Not sure that we've changed anything with this fix due to performance issues on test.

Error getting property 'selectedTopic' ...
You can reproduce this by triple-clicking (repeatedly clicking very fast) on the Forums breadcrumb link from within a topic view in IE7. LJW Solution was to grab all of the <a> tags from the page at document load, filter and keep only the tags that have an onclick attribute that includes a form.submit() call. Then binding a function to the click event so that when one of these links are clicked, all of the other links on the page, will have their onclick attribute removed.

Yes

In a site with the Podcasts and Resources tools and the Podcasts folder within Resources has not been created, if a user with the access role (or more specifically, doesn't have the permissions to create a folder within Resources) is the first one to access the Podcasts tool, a stack trace is thrown since the tool attempts to create the folder but the user does not have the proper permissions.
translation - if you access Podcasts as a student before the Podcasts folder in Resources has been created, you get a "you are not authorized to view this tool" error message. 
on smartsite-test - I tried and and verified above.  once the folder is added (even empty) the student can then access Podcasts.  since I'm doing the standard podcast test, I'll add something to test this.  nw
on production - without resources/podcasts folder, student (as access, not maintain) CAN get into podcast tool.  after student access, a podcasts folder is added to resources. 

sak-10927

Yes

Foundation page says "if a folder or URL is placed within the Podcasts folder of resources, a stack trace the (sic) thrown when you navigate to the Podcasts tool."
on smartsite-test - I checked this, too.  I already have a folder within resources/podcasts.  added a URL also and could access Podcast as IOR and student w/o error.  nw
on production - same results as above.

Vote validator logging is unnecessarily verbose

sak-9886

Yes

Suppress Reset button if options are min=max=1. If a poll options specify min=max=1, then the poll is presented as radio buttons.
In this case, there's no point in the Reset button - the user either will make a choice and vote, or cancel - so the reset button should not be shown.
Please merge into 2-4-x and update fix version when done.

sak-9892

Yes

Edit options title and buttons incorrect. The edit options page (when you click on Edit next to an existing poll option) has 2 problems:

  • Page heading should say only "Edit option"
  • The middle button (Save and add options) does nothing (returns you to the same page) and should be removed, i.e. only options here are Save and Cancel.
    Fixed with r30198.
    Problem: when I clicked the "Edit" option link, it took me back to the poll listing page, instead of the edit option page.

sak-9890

Yes

No validation error if no vote with min=max=1. On a min=max=1 poll, you can submit a vote without choosing an option. No validation error appears and you back to the polls list. No vote is submitted.
This case should trigger a validation error on the vote page the same as other cases where the vote is not in accordance with the options selected.
Please merge into 2-4-x and update fix version when done, r30475 fixes the problem.

sak-10204

Yes

NPE in PollToolProducer.pollIsVotable. This would happen if the poll open or close dates are null.
Currently the UI will require a open and close date but the underlying service won't enforce this. Sugest the following behaviour:

  • null opening: open for all dates < closing date.
  • null closing: once open is open forever.
    With r31140 the tool code will handle null open and close dates, logic error in fix meant polls were never voteable, r31569 fixes the logic error.
    Please merge into 2-4-x and update fix version when done.
