irstats2 plugin conflict (add_dataset_field errors)

[cziaarm]

Hi Seb,

Just installed irstats2 from epm v 2.0.0.5 (on EP 3.3.12)

When trying to run process_stats I get the error:

Can't call method "add_dataset_field" on unblessed reference at /data/www/lshtmdr-test/eprints3/archives/lshtmdrtest/bin/../cfg/cfg.d/request_copy.pl line 71.

EPrints (on reload or restart) does not have a problem with this piece of config and it works well, it seems to be only bin/process_stats that has an issue?

If I deal with that line of code it will move along and complain about the next call to add_dataset_field. Is it possibly some problem with the way process_stats is evaluating the cfg.d stuff out of context? Or a problem with all the other plugins?

Cheers,

Rory

I've seen this in rare instances.... Try commenting out all the stuff related to FindBin in bin/process_stats and if needed hard-code the path to perl_lib (e.g. via -I/opt/eprints3/.... or use lib "/opt/e....").

FindBin should just work... but in this case it just doesn't!

Btw I'm planning on releasing a new minor version of stats2 soon-ish.

So in other words it's not $c->add.... that's causing the problems but rather the way perl_lib (and the conf etc) is loaded via FindBin in this particular instance. If you manage to have this one fixed, I'll be happy :-)

Oooh That's a stinker! I Had an attempt at a fix, but in the end had to hard-code the path in process_stats as you suggested. They are playing happily now, which is the main thing. Thanks!

Rory, on which OS did you install this? I'm trying to find reasons why this is sometimes working/failing.

Hi Seb,

That would be RHEL 5.7
