Cannot create Distribution Link (POW) for named user restricted object. #686

Closed dkelsey closed 5 years ago

dkelsey commented 5 years ago

ENV

PROD, CAT, CAD un-verified.

At the time of writing this, both TEST and PROD are pointing to the PROD OFI API and PROD distribution.

TESTCASE

Create a Geographic Dataset
fill in required fields
add a named user object_name I use WHSE_FOREST_TENURE.BCTS_BLOCK_ACCESS_ROADS_SP which I have confirmed is a NAMED USER dataset.
click 'Save Dataset' to persist the state of the records --- this is kludgey but it is the process for now.
re-open the dataset for editing
click the Resources tab
click the 'Manage BCGW Resources' button to add distribution links

EXPECTED

a pop-up stated the resource exists and prompting do you wish to add resources.

ACTUAL

a pop-up stating 'Object is not available, please contact your administrator'

@dkelsey and @hleckenb and @jachurchill . It is actually possible to add the ofi object if you follow the originally-intended workflow of pressing Next: Add Data instead of Save Dataset. This functionality was re-made operational in another ticket (https://github.com/bcgov/ckanext-bcgov/issues/641)

Geographic dataset creation, and the process of configuring distribution resources has always been problematic and cumbersome. We require that Editors create a metadata record, before the data is even available in PROD and before distribution has been configured. Editors were asked to add 'dummy' resources, the FAQ, then after the data is loaded and distribution is correctly configured, we instruct editors to re-visit the record and configure the distribution links.

in short, the "happy path" is not a single end-to-end record creation and distribution link creation session. It has never happened happened that way.

The steps that are failing now, used to work.

Further, when I now press the 'Next: Add Data' button, for the test cases i've created, I'm taken out of edit mode and returned to the unpublished record.

I'll add that adding distribution links for GeoSpatial metadata records... has been plagued with issues...it's a slippery eel!

I followed the instructions in your ofi workflow. I created a new record and followed the step. it did not work for me. I got the same pop-up.

This now passes in CAT https://cat.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/john-test-jan-16-named-user @hleckenb @dkelsey

This passes in PROD https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/test-named-user-restricted-data-distribution-686?
