Summary by CodeRabbit

• Tests
  • Expanded dataset variant coverage for permission bypass when relationships are enabled.
  • Added checks for default rollback preference values.
  • Verified that workbench rollback behavior remains independent of batch-edit preferences.
  • Improved test completeness and reliability by closing the previously incomplete test suite.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR expands datasetVariants tests with preference setup, fake timers, parameterized rollback coverage, relationship-enabled behavior checks, default preference checks, and separate workbench permission validation.

Changes

Dataset variants testing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Batch-edit permission and preference tests specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/WbUtils/__tests__/datasetVariants.test.ts	The tests configure batch-edit preferences, cover rollback availability across preference and permission combinations, verify relationship-enabled behavior, check default values, and validate the separate workbench rollback permission.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1c3de

Default batch-edit rollback behavior can regress without coverage. Add an unset-preferences case before merge.

Explanation

Issue #8499 requires unit-test coverage for the full batch-edit basic-fields checklist. The new datasetVariants.test.ts covers rollback availability, relationship preference effects, default preferences, and workbench rollback isolation. It does not test creating and saving a query, opening Batch Edit, rejecting unsaved queries, preventing relationship edits, Search and Replace behavior, executing rollback, or read-only data after upload and rollback.

Resolution

Add unit tests for each missing checklist behavior in issue #8499. Include the saved-query flow, unsaved-query restriction, relationship edit restriction, Search and Replace, rollback execution, and read-only state after upload and rollback.

Full details: Testing Instructions

Explanation

The PR's ### Testing instructions section contains only the template comments and no verification steps. The PR adds datasetVariants.test.ts, which covers batch-edit rollback availability, permission checks, default preferences, and workbench rollback isolation, but the description does not identify this test or explain how to run it. The repository provides a Jest unitTests script under specifyweb/frontend/js_src, so the affected component has a concrete test path that should be documented.

Resolution

Add clear testing instructions. Include the working directory, the Jest command for lib/components/WbUtils/__tests__/datasetVariants.test.ts (or the applicable full test command), and the expected result. State that the test verifies batch-edit rollback behavior with relationships, preferences, and permissions, and confirms that workbench rollback remains unaffected.
