1.2.5: Verify GenericContentLoader Uses Updated Configuration

by ADMIN 62 views

Introduction

In this ticket, we aim to verify that the GenericContentLoader correctly uses the updated configuration to validate item and location files against the main entity.schema.json. This is a crucial step in ensuring the consolidation of entity validation with the generic component schema is successful.

Goal

The primary goal of this ticket is to ensure that the GenericContentLoader relies entirely on the configuration for the schema ID, as intended by the consolidation. This means that the loader should dynamically retrieve the schema ID for validation using the IConfiguration.getContentTypeSchemaId method.

Tasks

To achieve this goal, we need to perform the following tasks:

Locate Loader

The first step is to locate the GenericContentLoader in the codebase. Specifically, we need to open the src/core/services/genericContentLoader.js file.

Review loadContentFiles Method

Once we have located the loader, we need to review the logic within the loadContentFiles method. This method is responsible for loading content files and validating them against the schema.

Verify Schema ID Retrieval

Next, we need to verify that the code correctly calls this.#config.getContentTypeSchemaId(typeName) to get the schema ID for validation. This method should dynamically retrieve the schema ID based on the typeName parameter.

Verify Validator Function Retrieval

After retrieving the schema ID, we need to verify that the code uses the retrieved schema ID to get the validator function: this.#validator.getValidator(schemaId). This ensures that the correct validator function is used for validation.

No Code Changes Expected

Based on the current implementation, the loader is already generic and relies entirely on the configuration for the schema ID. Therefore, no code changes should be required in GenericContentLoader itself unless previous assumptions about schema availability or error handling need adjustment due to the consolidation.

Add Log Confirmation (Optional)

To confirm the schema ID being used for validation, we can consider adding a temporary debug log message within loadContentFiles just before validation. This log message should display the schema ID being used for typeName 'items' and 'locations' and match the expected entity schema ID.

JavaScript Code

Here is the relevant JavaScript code snippet that we need to review:

// Inside loadContentFiles, after getting schemaId and validatorFn
this.#logger.debug(`GenericContentLoader: Validating type '${typeName}' using schema ID: ${schemaId}`);
// ... proceed with validation ...

Verification

After completing the tasks, we need to verify that the GenericContentLoader uses the updated configuration correctly. This involves:

  • Code review confirms that GenericContentLoader uses IConfiguration.getContentTypeSchemaId dynamically.
  • (Optional) Debug logs during execution show that when typeName is 'items' or 'locations', the schema ID used for validation is the $id from entity.schema.json.
  • Loading item and location files still works correctly (passes schema validation against the updated entity.schema.json).

Conclusion

Q&A: Verifying GenericContentLoader uses Updated Configuration

Q: What is the goal of this ticket?

A: The primary goal of this ticket is to ensure that the GenericContentLoader correctly uses the updated configuration to validate item and location files against the main entity.schema.json.

Q: What tasks need to be performed to achieve this goal?

A: To achieve this goal, we need to perform the following tasks:

  1. Locate the GenericContentLoader in the codebase.
  2. Review the logic within the loadContentFiles method.
  3. Verify that the code correctly calls this.#config.getContentTypeSchemaId(typeName) to get the schema ID for validation.
  4. Verify that the code uses the retrieved schema ID to get the validator function: this.#validator.getValidator(schemaId).
  5. (Optional) Add a temporary debug log message within loadContentFiles just before validation to confirm the schema ID being used for typeName 'items' and 'locations'.

Q: Why is it important to verify the schema ID retrieval?

A: Verifying the schema ID retrieval is crucial because it ensures that the correct schema ID is being used for validation. This is especially important when working with multiple schema files, as incorrect schema IDs can lead to validation errors.

Q: What is the expected outcome of this ticket?

A: The expected outcome of this ticket is that the GenericContentLoader uses the updated configuration correctly, and that loading item and location files still works correctly (passes schema validation against the updated entity.schema.json).

Q: Are there any code changes expected in GenericContentLoader itself?

A: Based on the current implementation, the loader is already generic and relies entirely on the configuration for the schema ID. Therefore, no code changes should be required in GenericContentLoader itself unless previous assumptions about schema availability or error handling need adjustment due to the consolidation.

Q: How can we confirm the schema ID being used for validation?

A: We can confirm the schema ID being used for validation by adding a temporary debug log message within loadContentFiles just before validation. This log message should display the schema ID being used for typeName 'items' and 'locations' and match the expected entity schema ID.

Q: What is the significance of the debug log message?

A: The debug log message is significant because it provides a clear indication of the schema ID being used for validation. This can help identify any issues with schema ID retrieval or validation.

Q: How can we ensure that the GenericContentLoader uses the updated configuration correctly?

A: We can ensure that the GenericContentLoader uses the updated configuration correctly by performing a thorough code review and verifying that the code correctly calls this.#config.getContentTypeSchemaId(typeName) and this.#validator.getValidator(schemaId). Additionally, we can use debug logs to confirm the schema ID being used for validation.
