[Koha] Authority Merge Error (3.22) + Framework error (biblio.biblionumber + biblioitems.biblioitemnumber)

[Craig Butosi]

Hi all,

Koha 3.22 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTA 64 (package installation)

Part A

I just attempted to merge an authority record with another, and received for the first time ever the following error after clicking 'Merge':
Software error:
Can't call method "data" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/AuthoritiesMarc.pm line 1491.
I have never seen this error before, and I don't think I altered any sysprefs that would affect merge authorities from the move from 3.20 --> 3.22. Weird.

Part B

Also, I serendipitously stumbled upon one framework error after using the MARC framework tester (this is also a new error since upgrading to 3.22). Error output from the test result table is:
biblio and biblionumber | The biblio.biblionumber and biblioitems.biblioitemnumber fields be mapped to a MARC subfield,
So, I ran the following SQL query:
->USE koha_library2;
->SELECT frameworkcode, tagfield, tagsubfield, kohafield FROM marc_subfield_structure WHERE kohafield in ('biblio.biblionumber', 'biblioitems.biblioitemnumber');
Output is,
+---------------+----------+-------------+------------------------------+
| frameworkcode | tagfield | tagsubfield | kohafield                    |
+---------------+----------+-------------+------------------------------+
|               | 001      | @           | biblio.biblionumber          |
| ACQ           | 001      | @           | biblio.biblionumber          |
| BKS           | 001      | @           | biblio.biblionumber          |
| CF            | 001      | @           | biblio.biblionumber          |
| FA            | 001      | @           | biblio.biblionumber          |
| SER           | 001      | @           | biblio.biblionumber          |
| THE           | 001      | @           | biblio.biblionumber          |
|               | 999      | d           | biblioitems.biblioitemnumber |
| ACQ           | 999      | d           | biblioitems.biblioitemnumber |
| BKS           | 999      | d           | biblioitems.biblioitemnumber |
| CF            | 999      | d           | biblioitems.biblioitemnumber |
| FA            | 999      | d           | biblioitems.biblioitemnumber |
| SER           | 999      | d           | biblioitems.biblioitemnumber |
| THE           | 999      | d           | biblioitems.biblioitemnumber |
+---------------+----------+-------------+------------------------------+

Row 5 (FA 001 @ biblio.biblionumber) was non-existent when I first ran the query. What you are seeing is the SQL query after I added this tag to the FA framework, thinking that its absence was the issue. Specifically, I manually added a 001 tag to the FA framework, and replicated the subfield variables from the Default Framework. After saving the former, I ran the framework test again, but the error persists.

These might be two very different issues, but I have no idea how to tackle either. Thoughts anyone? Would love to get my authorities module up and running again.

Thanks all!
