Testing instructions

Testing instructions taken from #8487

Testing for #8469

If you'd like a video which demonstrates the essence of the below steps, check out #8469 (comment)

  • Create a record that references a tree node that's not at the lowest rank in the tree
    • e.g., "Determine" a CollectionObject to a node at the Family level
    • Some common/example relationships that can be used:
      • (CollectionObject ->) Determination -> taxon
      • Locality -> geography
      • (CollectionObject ->) Preparation -> storage
      • Paleocontext -> biostart
  • Create a Query that will include the previously created record, at least one strictly lower rank the rank of the referenced tree node that is included in the Query Result, and no visible query filters that are at the tree rank or higher
    • e.g., If the referenced tree node is Taxon at the Family node, include one or ranks lower than Family in the tree (Genus, Species, Subspecies, etc.)
    • You can limit the number of results if needed by including Family results or higher in the filter: but make sure these higher ranks are hidden in the query results
    • For example if the record created in the first step is determined to Family, you can use the Taxon -> Family -> Contains or Taxon -> Order -> Contains, etc. filter(s) as long as the higher-level filters are checked as hidden (via the green checkmark to the right of the field)
  • Save the Query if needed and Batch Edit the Query Results
  • Make no modifications in the Data Set to known records which directly reference tree ranks that are higher than included in the Data Set (other modifications are fine if you wish to generally test BatchEdit functionality)
  • Commit the BatchEdit Data Set
  • Create a Record Set from the BatchEdit results
  • Ensure the record(s) which had relationships at the higher tree levels in the Data Set are included in the Record Set
  • Ensure the record(s) which had relationships at the higher tree levels remain unchanged
  • Please also do general BatchEdit testing if possible! 🙏
    • Particularly focusing on BatchEdit Data Sets that include trees
    • BatchEdit of multiple trees of the same type (such as multiple Taxon trees), would be greatly appreciated

Testing for #8494

  • Create a Query that contains at least one field of:
    • Locality -> latitide1
    • Locality -> longitude1
    • Locality -> latitide2
    • Locality -> longitude2
  • (Optional) Include one or more other fields of type "java.math.BigDecimal" in the Query
  • Ensure at least one field is hidden in the QueryBuilder (this field does not have to include a locality coordinate field!)
  • Run the Query and Export the Query Results to a Webportal Export
  • Unzip the Webportal Export and open the PortalData.csv file in any text viewer or editor (Notepad,
    • Alternatively, include the file in your GitHub review or send the file along with an exported Query Results to CSV to me!
  • Generally ensure the data for fields within the PortalData.csv roughly match the values of the fields within the Query Results
    • For this test you'd be looking for any fields that seem "shifted" to other nearby fields in the QueryResult.
    • For example, if CollectionObject -> text1 directly follows CollectionObject -> catalogNumber, generally make sure that the records' catalogNumbers are not in the text1 place or vice versa.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved batch editing of taxonomic records by matching existing tree nodes and preserving family-level determinations.
    • Search terms are now separated by whitespace.
    • Hidden fields no longer affect inheritance processing.
    • Web portal exports apply numeric formatting only to displayed fields.
    • Improved handling of existing linked records during batch updates to avoid unnecessary changes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR preserves existing higher-rank tree relationships during batch edits with incomplete taxonomic fields. It also changes search tokenization, limits query processing to displayed fields, and reformats frontend code.

Changes

Batch edit tree preservation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Existing tree relationship matching
specifyweb/backend/workbench/upload/treerecord.py, specifyweb/backend/workbench/upload/upload_table.py, specifyweb/backend/workbench/upload/upload_result.py, specifyweb/backend/workbench/upload/tests/test_batch_edit_table.py
Tree uploads can match an existing tree node when row processing returns NullRecord. Batch edit passes existing relationship IDs. End-to-end tests verify that higher-rank determinations remain unchanged.

Query processing updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Whitespace-based search parsing
specifyweb/backend/express_search/search_terms.py
parse_search_str splits input on whitespace instead of commas and no longer strips individual terms.
Display-only query field processing
specifyweb/backend/inheritance/api.py, specifyweb/backend/stored_queries/web_portal_export.py
Inheritance processors and BigDecimal trimming receive only query fields marked for display.

Frontend formatting cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Component formatting
specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/ChooseCollection/index.tsx, specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/Core/Main.tsx, specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/Router/Routes.tsx, specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/WbToolkit/GeoLocate.tsx
Frontend formatting changes preserve existing logout, route loading, and geolocation behavior.

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to dbb57

Batch edits better preserve higher-rank tree relationships, but may perform an extra lookup per affected row and have limited regression coverage for other taxonomic rows. The remaining risk is low and bounded by owner follow-up.

Explanation

The tree relationship fix and its test are in scope for issue #8469. However, the pull request also changes search-term parsing, Webportal export processing, inheritance field processing, and frontend formatting. These changes are not related to the linked issue's Batch Edit tree relationship requirement.

Full details: Testing Instructions

Explanation

The instructions cover the Batch Edit tree case and the Webportal Export case, but they do not cover all functional changes in the reviewed range. The diff changes parse_search_str, which is used by Express Search, related search, and query-combobox search; the description has no Express Search test. The diff also changes DefaultQueryProcessors to use displayed fields, but the Webportal Export steps do not enable or exercise catalog-number inheritance, so they do not verify this processor change. The Webportal steps name latitide1, latitide2, and similar fields, but the repository uses latitude1, latitude2, longitude1, and longitude2. A hidden field can also fail to expose the export indexing issue if it is placed after the affected visible field.

Resolution

Update the testing instructions as follows: (1) correct the coordinate names to latitude1, longitude1, latitude2, and longitude2; (2) add an Express Search test that uses multiple whitespace-separated terms, repeated whitespace, and a quoted term through the relevant search endpoints; (3) add a stored-query test with catalog-number inheritance enabled, a catalogNumber field, and a hidden field before the visible catalog-number field, then verify inherited values remain in the correct result columns; and (4) for Webportal Export, place a hidden field before at least one visible java.math.BigDecimal field, export the query, and compare PortalData.csv with the query results and headers to verify visible values remain aligned and hidden fields are excluded.

Use unittest assertion methods for these checks. The backend test suite runs through manage.py test, and this suite can run with python -O manage.py test. Python removes bare assert statements in that mode, so these checks can be skipped silently. Replace them with self.assertIsInstance(...).

Assert the resolved taxon ID for every row.

uploaded_data records the expected taxon IDs, but setup is not a post-upload check. The loop only checks Matched; MatchedAndChanged is also a Matched, so a changed taxon can pass. Only row 1 is checked in the database. Add the per-row persistence assertions.

988-994: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Cache the reference record in _process_to_ones.

When a mapped to-one uses process_with_exising, _process_to_ones runs before get_django_predicates. Calling _get_reference(should_cache=False) does not retain the record, so get_django_predicates can fetch the same row again before _do_upload. Use the default caching behavior here, then update the nearby cache comments to describe the sequence.

Everything looks good. Specify behaves the same as before. No determinations were unlinked, nor were any locality records.

  • Ensure the record(s) which had relationships at the higher tree levels in the Data Set are included in the Record Set
  • Ensure the record(s) which had relationships at the higher tree levels remain unchanged
  • Please also do general BatchEdit testing if possible! 🙏

Testing for #8494

  • Generally ensure the data for fields within the PortalData.csv roughly match the values of the fields within the Query Results

Looks good!
