* Harvesters that change the name when the title changes have had a
problem when the change is small and a number was unnecessarily
appended. e.g. "Trees "->"Trees" meant _gen_new_name("Trees") returned
"trees1". Now you can specify the existing value and it will return
that if it still holds.
* Maximum dataset name length is now adhered to.
* To make a name unique, a sequential number is now added, since for
users that is more understandable and pleasant. However hex digits are
still an option, for those that want to harvest concurrently.
If there are no harvesting jobs to run, there was always an ugly
exception message when using the paster command. This replaces the ugly
output with a proper message and uses a custom exception to allow others
to deal with this error differently.
Harvester has been translated into Swedish. This updates the .po
file from transifex and a resulting compiled .mo file. Thanks to
translator Börje Lewin.
To avoid having to create a 'harvest' sysadmin explicitly. It will still
be used if present, but if not the site user will be used. You can also
define to user to use via a config option.
Simplify install instructions (no need to choose a branch on
ckanext-harvest, just use master). Updated examples and paths.
Added contributing and license info.
Apparently on package installs this is not well supported
from ckan.plugins.toolkit import check_ckan_version
But this works:
from ckan.plugins import toolkit
toolkit.check_ckan_version(...
Otherwise if there was eg an actual ImportError we jut got
2015-03-19 12:30:08,430 DEBUG [ckanext.harvest.plugin] No auth module
for action "update"
on the log
HTTPError is a subclass of URLError, so catch URLError is enough. I
think the HTTP error code is not as important in this situation, so
catching the more generic error seems like the best solution.
The API call /api/2/rest/package/<id> returns the display name of the
group instead of its ID. To properly match the group, munge the name
before calling /api/2/rest/group
1. Try whenever possible to catch specific exceptions
2. Raise custom exception where appropriate
3. Fix the exception handling in _get_group and _get_organization
First try to get a remote org from the remote Action API, if this fails
try to use the old rest api call, which works on older CKAN versions.
Only if both options fail, its currently not possible to get the remote
organization.
