Wishlist: add error msg when searching by ID

[Dave Brown]

Scenario:
In the staff client, Cataloging -> Retrieve record by Record ID
Enter a non-valid ID number
Instead of getting an error alert, you get a blank record loading screen in OPAC view

Could an error message (ie: XYZ not found) be added?

Still affects EG 1.6

Affects 2.1

[Ben Shum (bshum)]

Forwarding bug details from a newer report by paxed on the same issue:

Staff client -> Cataloging -> Retrieve Title via database ID -> Enter a non-existent ID.

If you entered a numeric value, EG will pop up a javascript error "Error in bib_brief_overlay(blahblah): TypeError: params.mvr.doc_id is not a function

If you enter "123xxx", you get a "Bad Request"

If you enter "xxx" or a negative number, you'll get the results page, but with no data. No errors either.

Ideally this should pop up a window "foo not found", like what Retrieve title by TCN does.

I am sorry, can someone change back the status to Triaged. I mistakenly changed it to "confirmed." Thanks!

[Remington Steed (rjs7)]

Also affects 3.0.0 web client. The behavior is similar to Paxed's description in comment #2:

- Search nonexistent numerical ID:

    JS Console shows "Can't call method "marc" on an undefined value at /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/OpenILS/Application/Cat.pm line 512."

- Search "123xxx":

    "Bad Request" error

- Search "xxx" or negative number:

    JS Console shows several PCRUD errors.

Confirmed still loads an incomplete catalog page rather than showing an error in web staff client 3.2.3.

[Michele Morgan (mmorgan)]

This is still present in 3.6. When searching for a nonexistent bib record id, the user is still presented with an incomplete and/or empty full record page.

[Elaine Hardy (ehardy)]

I am getting an error message Record not found: 222222222 when I search for an invalid Record ID in 3.6

[Terran McCanna (tmccanna)]

Spoke with Michele and it looks like a slight difference between servers, as this one is now working in master.
