Bug 36309: Make create_superlibrarian.pl output more useful
In situations in which you are not familiar with all the Koha settings,
and table structure, the fact this script just fails telling there's a
broken FK is just not practical.
We should capture those exceptions and display a useful message instead.
This script does that. It adds some validations and some exception
handling too. It prints a nice message about the bad value the user
passed, and the valid values too!
To test:
1. Run this on a fresh KTD:
$ ktd --shell
k$ perl misc/devel/create_superlibrarian.pl \
--userid tcohen \
--password tomasito \
--cardnumber
123456789 \
--categorycode POT \
--branchcode ATO
=> FAIL: It explodes with a MySQL exception message!
2. Apply this patch
3. Repeat 1
=> SUCCESS: It tells you which value is wrong and what values you can
pick to make the command work
4. Pick a valid value, and repeat
=> SUCCESS: Now the other value is wrong, a nice message is displayed!
5. Fix with a valid value and repeat
=> SUCCESS: Patron created!
