Koha::Objects depends on Koha::DateUtils, which depends on C4::Context,
which depends on Koha::Config::SysPrefs, which depends on Koha::Objects
Apart from the circular dependency, the dependency on C4::Context alone
is problematic as it loads a bunch of modules that are not needed at all
in Koha::Objects (YAML::XS and ZOOM for instance).
As Koha::Objects is used as a base for a lot of modules, we should take
care to only load the minimum required.
This patch removes uses of Koha::DateUtils from Koha::Objects.
It was only used in Koha::Objects::filter_by_last_update
filter_by_last_update now requires that the 'from' and 'to' parameters
must be DateTime objects. Previously it would also allow date and
datetime strings. This possibility was only used in two places:
* misc/cronjobs/cleanup_database.pl
* tools/cleanborrowers.pl
Now they call dt_from_string first and pass a DateTime object to
filter_by_last_update
Test plan:
1. Run `perl -cw Koha/Objects.pm`. It should only say:
"Koha/Objects.pm syntax OK" without warnings
2. Run `prove t/db_dependent/Koha/Objects.t`
3. Verify that misc/cronjobs/cleanup_database.pl works as before,
especially with the options --pseudo-transactions,
--pseudo-transactions-from and --pseudo-transactions-to
4. Go to Tools » Batch patron deletion and anonymization, check "Verify
you want to anonymize patron checkout history" and enter a date in
the text input below. Then click Next and verify that the correct
count of borrowers is shown. Click on the "Finish" button and verify
that the circulation history has been correctly anonymized
