Multiple inappropriate decision/acceptance letters #25

Open bmeadows opened 11 years ago

bmeadows commented 11 years ago

Multiple decision letters were sent out; many of them got the paper's categorisation wrong.

The problem appeared to be that a letter was sent for each revision of a paper, not just for the paper overall. Possibly related to the fact that a submission consists of multiple uploaded versions and a single current categorisation and metareview?

On the one hand, I don't remember hearing that this was resolved, and it's a major problem. On the other hand, I haven't been able to reproduce it. But I don't want to try outside of the test collection, and it was only for the ACS2012 collection that we saw the problem.

Suggested possible check for the bug: change the first 'notify' function in CategoriesController to send everything to a tester's email address, instead of the authors' addresses, and then send out acceptance letters for ACS2012 again.
