This patch adds comprehensive unit tests for the metadata() method in the
Standard ILL backend to establish baseline behavior before optimization.
The tests cover:
- Metadata structure (returns hashref)
- Included attributes (title, author, isbn, year, custom fields)
- Excluded attributes (ignored fields like requested_partners, type, etc.)
- Display name transformation (attribute types become display names)
Current behavior tested:
- metadata() filters out predefined ignore list attributes
- Uses linear search with grep for each attribute
- Transforms attribute types to display names (title -> Title)
- Custom fields get ucfirst transformation (custom_field -> Custom_field)
- Returns hashref with display names as keys
These tests document the current inefficient implementation and will
ensure the upcoming optimization maintains compatibility.
Test plan:
1. Apply patch
2. Run:
$ ktd --shell
k$ prove t/db_dependent/Koha/ILL/Backend/Standard.t
=> SUCCESS: Tests pass! Current metadata behavior documented
3. Tests establish baseline for upcoming optimization
4. Sign off :-D
