Bug 16678: updatedatabase.pl 3.23.00.006 DB upgrade crashes if subscription_numberpatterns.numberingmethod contains parentheses
It seems that if subscription_numberpatterns.numberingmethod contains parentheses, updatedatabase.pl crashes when running the 3.23.00.006 DB upgrade snippet, with the following error:
[Mon Jun 6 09:06:54 2016] updatedatabase.pl: Unmatched ( in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/ ( <-- HERE / at /home/koha/kohaclone/installer/data/mysql/updatedatabase.pl line 11498.
Steps to reproduce:
1/ Have a Koha DB version<3.23.00.006
2/ Create a subscription numbering with parentheses in it:
ie "Vol. (Month, Year)" with pattern
Vol. {X} ({Y}, {Z})
3/ Add some serials using that numbering method so that serialseq is filled in DB:
ie "Vol. 16 (February, 2015)"
4/ Run the updatedatabase.pl script either from the cli or just start the webinstaller
5/ The error is produced
To test:
1/ apply patch
2/ try to reproduce this issue once again, should be fixed now
3/ have a look at the code, make sure the changes are consistent
