Checking this issue.

Seems the document that triggered this error doesn't have a document number even though it's not from an appellate court.

Instead of the document number, it says doc

Neither the confirmation download page has a document number. Screen Shot 2022-10-28 at 10 16 34

When we don't have an integer number, should we add the docket entry/recap document as unnumbered?

Well, this is an interesting one. If you look at the docket report, you see that the item doesn't come up at all:

It should be in that space below the last item, but it's not. I called the court to ask about this, and they said that the docket report form should have a checkbox for "Rule 3002.1 Claims Supplement". So, when I generate that report, I should be able to check that box and then get that item to show up. Alas, that checkbox is not visible to regular PACER users like myself. Ok....

So I tried the docket history report, and sure enough it shows up there:

And sure enough, the "number" seems to be doc. Greaaat.

I'm not sure how to handle this, really. The entry_number field is a big int, so we can't cram the number in there as is. It's probably not worth changing the field type to be a charfield. We could leave the number off, but that'd make certain people unhappy that we weren't mirroring PACER perfectly.

We could also ignore this since it's a corner case in bankruptcy cases that doesn't even show up on the docket report in PACER unless you're an ECF user. If we take this route I guess we can either ignore the Sentry issue (easiest!) or we could tweak Juriscraper to ignore this error.

Interesting. Well if we chose to just ignore this. We can avoid adding the docket entry if we found that the document has a "document number" but is not an integer, so the error won't come up in Sentry for similar cases. Is that ok?

Or just ignore Sentry for now?

mlissner commented 2 years ago

I think we can just ignore it in Sentry, and deprioritize it for now.

I think we opted to just ignore this in Sentry, but if #724 and the Sentry issue above are the same issue, it shows that ignoring this will be annoying. Maybe a quick fix in Juriscraper makes sense.
