* Fix extras as a list of dicts
* Fix SOLR dates syntax - needed a Z
* Basic tests for this updated ckan harvester
* Now require CKAN 2.0 to be able to be able to save these packages in package_show form. Take advantage of this now we are such various imports from are definitely available, such as munge_tag.
* Add back compatibility for other harvesters supplying restful-like package_dicts to _create_or_update_package
TODO add back in the ability to harvest pre 2.0 CKANs with the RESTful calls (fallback or maybe configurable)
* 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.
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.
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.
