Interactive Perl shell - REPL (Read–Eval–Print Loop) with Devel::REPL

Install and run

sudo apt install libdevel-repl-perl
re.pl

Usage example

use Number::Format;
my $format = new Number::Format(-decimal_point => '.');
# $Number_Format1 = Number::Format=HASH(0x39cbf00);
$format->unformat_number("12345,89");
# 12345.89

# Caveat: don't use print if you want to see the value, otherwise you will get some kind of return value of print
$ print $format->unformat_number("12345,89");
# 1

Trigger the installer

echo "DROP DATABASE koha_kohadev; CREATE DATABASE koha_kohadev;" | koha-mysql kohadev ; restart_all

Install translations

https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Installation_of_additional_languages_for_OPAC_and_INTRANET_staff_client

update dababase

~/src/installer/data/mysql/updatedatabase.pl

Loop to create a lot of data in Perl

     $ perl -MKoha::Database -e '
           my $schema = Koha::Database->schema;
           my $period = $schema->resultset("Aqbudgetperiod")->create({
               budget_period_startdate => "2000-01-01",
               budget_period_enddate => "2999-12-31"
           });
           $schema->resultset("Aqbudget")->create({
               budget_owner_id => 1,
               budget_period_id => $period->id
           }) for (1..1000)

Restore backup in KTD (koha-testing-docker)

It's not clean, there are errors when running koha-remove so it's an incomplete removal. That's the best I've found for now.

docker exec -it koha-koha-1 bash
service koha-common stop
service apache2 stop
koha-remove kohadev
cd koha
koha-restore kohadev-2024-03-19.sql.gz kohadev-2024-03-19.tar.gz
restart_all

Reset DB with dump

If you don't have a devbox. Using BibLibre's tools (https://git.biblibre.com/biblibre/tools)

# memcached is flushed because if you switched to another version of the code, the old version will be in cache and the updatedatabase won't run

echo "flush_all" | nc -q 2 localhost 11211 && \
~/tools/sysop/db_replace.sh --confirm --dump ~/dumps/koha-sample.sql.gz  && \
~/src/installer/data/mysql/updatedatabase.pl  && \
~/tools/zebra/rebuild_full.sh -b -a

Use Elasticsearch

Index data

misc/search_tools/rebuild_elasticsearch.pl -v -d

Maybe also

# as root
koha-elasticsearch -v -p 5 --commit 1000 --rebuild kohadev

Test SIP with emulator

https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_SIP2_server_setup#Example

Run an old Koha

# Can go at least to 19.11
sudo apt install libyaml-syck-perl libtext-unaccent-perl libemail-valid-perl  libcatmandu-marc-perl libcatmandu-store-elasticsearch-perl  libextutils-pkgconfig-perl libwww-curl-perl libcurl4-gnutls-dev
sudo cpanm Search::Elasticsearch::Client::5_0::Direct

If the container has a too old Debian

# Somehow it needs elasticsearch, here opensearch works fine
KOHA_IMAGE=22.05-stretch bin/ktd --os1 up
# It works with the master branch of KTD repo. After trying,
# older branches don't help to simplify the operation.

# and **while** it's starting go into the container and edit the repositories
vim /etc/apt/sources.list

# replace "httpredir" with "archive" and remove the 2nd line.
# In the end the content should be
```
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian stretch main
```
# otherwise it will 404 when trying to install the cpanoutdated package and crash

Generate test data

Many patrons

base:

SELECT surname, firstname, branchcode, categorycode
  FROM
    (
      SELECT surname
        FROM borrowers
       ORDER BY rand()
    ) a,
    (
      SELECT firstname
        FROM borrowers
       ORDER BY rand() ) b,
    (
      SELECT branchcode
        FROM borrowers
       ORDER BY rand() ) c,
    (
      SELECT categorycode
        FROM borrowers
       ORDER BY rand() ) d
 LIMIT 50000

Send emails

Setup email using your own SMTP server.

edit koha-conf.xml to add the following inside the <config> section

 <smtp_server>
    <host>yourSMTP.example.org</host>
    <port>587</port>
    <timeout>5</timeout>
    <ssl_mode>STARTTLS</ssl_mode>
    <user_name>youraddress@example.org</user_name>
    <password>yourpassword</password>
    <debug>1</debug>
 </smtp_server>

A set KohaAdminEmailAddress to your address.

Test the REST API

$.ajax({
    url: '/api/v1/biblios/55/items/117',
    method: 'PUT',
    data: JSON.stringify({
          "collection_code": "COLLECTION1",
          "external_id": "123test",
  }),
    contentType: 'application/json',
    success: function(result) {
        console.log('altered')
    },
});
