Web Client Hourly Loan Checkin Time Wrong

[Joan Kranich]

Evergreen 3.0.8
Browsers Chrome and Firefox
Not a problem in the XUL Client

In the Web Client checking in an item with an hourly due date on the same day the item is due results in the Checkin Time becoming the Due Date of the item. This occurs with items not yet due when checked in and with items that are overdue. If an overdue item is checked in the overdue fines are cleared as if no fines were assessed.

Steps:

Check out an item with an hourly loan period.
Check in the item on the same day it is due.
The Checkin Scan Time is the correct check in date and time.
The Checkin Time is the due date.

We've had reports of this issue on 3.1.4.

A simple fix for this is now available for review here:

See commit message for more information on the fix.

To test:
1. Set the default loan duration(s) to a few hours long.
2. Circulate an item with the default loan duration policy to any patron.
3. Immediately checkin the item, notice the checkin time is the due date, not the current time.
4. Apply patch, repeat checkout and checkin.
5. Notice the checkin time is the current time.

Works for me! Pushed to master, rel_3_1, and rel_3_0, along with a follow-up to expand a bit on the code comment. Thanks, Dan!
