Retrieving patron with inactive barcode no longer disables checkout barcode entry box in xul client

[Kathy Lussier]

Evergreen version: Tested on 2.10.7ish and on master

Not to be confused with bug 1621799.

When retrieving a patron with an inactive barcode in the xul client, the barcode entry box at checkout is no longer disabled.

I found this bug on the MassLNC community demo server, which was installed with the 2.10 branch on November 14, two days before the 2.10.8 release.

I tested the same behavior on a server running 2.10.5 and found that the barcode entry box was disabled as expected.

In 2.12 (version 0master.53150bb) the checkbox does not seem to be inactive when a barcode has been deactivated - just when checking the item out the pop-up window appears with warning "Check Out Failed ...."

I cannot confirm this behavior in EG version 2.11.1 or on Master (2.12).

[Erica Rohlfs (erohlfs)]

I marked the bug incomplete, because I don't have a way to test EG 2.10.7 and higher in the 2.10 series. It doesn't appear to occur in versions 2.11 and 2.12.

I also cannot confirm this behavior on EG version 2.10.4.

I just tested this again on a VM with 2.12 beta, and I still see the behavior. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B74gDMUDwDXqVy0yREY4RDFIUzg/view

Since Eva confirmed this bug yesterday in her comment, I'm setting the bug status to Confirmed.

I'm also setting the priority back to Medium. Although there is a popup box saying that the circ is not allowed, it doesn't inform the user why the circ is not allowed and is something that can be overridden. IMO, it makes it easier to check out an item to an inactive account, which we do not want since the person using the card may not be the same person with the account. The disabled barcode entry box forces the staff person to follow up on the barcode issue and, hopefully, verify the patron's identity.

I just tested this on 3.2.3 and retrieving a patron using an inactive barcode does make the checkout barcode entry box disabled. So this may have been XUL-only behavior. Marking Won't Fix.
