book_learn optional third entry does nothing?

[Jerimee]

Describe the bug

Locally, I added a cookbook cookbook_liverforkids. I then added the following line to the foie_gras result of offal_dishes.json:

"book_learn": [ [ "mag_cooking", 4 ], [ "mag_glam", 5 ], [ "cookbook_liverforkids", 5, "Buttery Duck Bites" ] ]

The recipe can be learned from the book in game, but the display shows no mention of "Buttery Duck Bites"

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add a third entry to book_learn identifier.
2. Wish yourself the book using the debug.
3. Read/view the book. There is no mention of the string added in step one.

Expected behavior

From the doc in JSON_INFO it reads: "The optional third entry defines a name for the recipe as it should appear in the books description"

I took this to mean that the book description would display the recipe as specified in the third entry string. It displays it as the result instead.

Screenshots

Versions and configuration

n/a

Additional context

at JSON_INFO.md#recipes it reads:

"book_learn": [              // (optional) Array of books that this recipe can be learned from. Each entry contains the id of the book and the skill level at which it can be learned.
    [ "textbook_anarch", 7, "something" ], // The optional third entry defines a name for the recipe as it should appear in the books description (default is the name of resulting item of the recipe)
    [ "textbook_gaswarfare", 8, "" ] // If the name is empty, the recipe is hidden, it will not be shown in the description of the book.
],
"difficulty": 3,             // Difficulty of success check

[ "textbook_anarch", 7, "something" ], // The optional third entry defines a name for the recipe as it should appear in the books description (default is the name of resulting item of the recipe)

But the optional third entry doesn't appear to do anything...

In recipe.cpp the only of mention of book_learn is:

    if( jo.has_member( "book_learn" ) ) {
        booksets.clear();
        for( JsonArray arr : jo.get_array( "book_learn" ) ) {
            booksets.emplace( arr.get_string( 0 ), arr.size() > 1 ? arr.get_int( 1 ) : -1 );
        }
    }

And in fact it appears that that is the only mention in all of src.

So is the third optional entry deprecated? WIP?

[Night-Pryanik]

Yeah, seems like either it was never implemented or was removed for some reason.

[Jerimee]

I thought it was a nice feature, but clearly not a necessity. Should I close this issue and add it to a feature request? Or is there some way to just convert this into a feature req?

[Night-Pryanik]

It's fine as it is.

[BevapDin]

This feature was removed by b70a6a4, no idea why.

[Jerimee]

This issue is still open right?

If there is a decent hope of this feature being restored I'll continue to populate the field.

There is, it's a nice feature and it shouldn't be hard to re-add.

This issue has been automatically closed due to lack of activity. This does not mean that we do not value the issue. Feel free to request that it be re-opened if you are going to actively work on it

Reopening, as a discrepancy between documentation and game code to the extent of "feature described does not actually exist" is absolutely a bug.
