StCR Import Bug: "All Replies" subscriptions treated as "Replies Only To Self"

[raamdev]

Steps to reproduce this bug

1. Install, activate, and enable StCR
2. Leave a comment on a post and select "All" to receive notifications for all new comments on the post
3. Install, activate, and enable Comment Mail Lite (confirmed with v150709)
4. Run the StCR → Comment Mail import process to import the StCR subscription
5. Disable StCR
6. Leave a new comment on the post that contained the subscription you imported

Expected behavior

Comment Mail should send a notification to the imported subscription.

Observed behavior

No email is sent.

What appears to be happening

If you edit the imported StCR subscription inside Comment Mail → Subscriptions, you'll notice how it appears to have been imported as a "replies only" subscription (because a Comment ID is selected). However, what's really strange is that the comment selected is itself.

In the screenshot below you can see that the comment selected in "Comment ID" is the same as the subscription being edited!

Next Release Changelog:

• StCR Import Bug Fix: This release corrects an StCR importation bug. The bug was causing an existing StCR subscription with a Y status (i.e., one for all comments/replies) to be imported into Comment Mail on a per-comment basis. Therefore, a symptom of this bug was to find that you had multiple subscriptions imported for users who wanted all comments, instead of them just having one subscription imported which would automatically cover the entire post. Props @raamdev for reporting this. See also this GitHub issue for technical details.

However, what's really strange is that the comment selected is itself.

@raamdev I found no correlation between the comment ID and the subscription ID. I think that may have just been a coincidence. I noticed this happening too, but it was only because I had a new install to test with and the likelihood of that occurring was higher; i.e., number of comments matches the total number of subscriptions recorded by CM during testing.

Summary of StCR Import Behavior

• If the existing subscription has a Y (all comments) status, one new subscription is imported for that subscriber; i.e., they are subscribed to all comment/replies on a given post.
• If an existing subscriber has no Y status, or has any R (replies only) status, instead of subscribing the user to all comments/replies, we import subscriptions on a per-comment basis, and they are only subscribed to comments where they were the original author.
