Migrate ckanext-fork to CKAN 2.11 + Python 3.10

[A-Souhei]

Overview

This PR completes the migration of ckanext-fork to CKAN 2.11 + Python 3.10, achieving 100% test passing rate (61/61 tests).

Migration Summary

Starting Point: 2 import errors preventing test collection
Ending Point: All 61 tests passing ✅

Key Changes

1. Mock Import (Python 3.10) - Fixed import from standalone mock package to stdlib unittest.mock
2. Activity Plugin Integration - Added support for CKAN 2.11 activity plugin with proper database migrations
3. User Context Requirements - Added user context to all data modification actions for activity plugin
4. API Authentication - Updated from API keys to JWT tokens (SysadminWithToken pattern)
5. Exception Locations - Fixed toolkit.NotFound → logic.NotFound
6. Dataset Validation - Removed invalid dataset types and hardcoded IDs (UUID requirement)
7. Resource Autocomplete - Fixed search strategy and multi-word query matching

Detailed Fix History

Fix #1: Mock Import for Python 3.10

• Changed import mock to from unittest import mock
• Python 3.10 no longer supports standalone mock package

Fix #2: Resource Autocomplete Search Strategy

• Changed from q=query to q="*:*" to search all datasets
• Added filtering logic for resource-level matching
• Implemented token-based threshold matching for multi-word queries
• Fixed result ordering (dataset matches first, then resource matches)

Fix #3-6: Activity Plugin Setup

• Enabled activity plugin in test.ini
• Created clean_db_with_migrations fixture to add permission_labels column
• Fixed factory patterns (factories don't create activities, use call_action)
• Added user context to all data modification actions

Fix #11: TestResourceAutocomplete Fixtures

• Added clean_db_with_migrations and with_plugins fixtures
• Fixed toolkit.NotFound → logic.NotFound (CKAN 2.11 breaking change)

Fix #12: User Context for Resource Actions

• Added context={'user': user['name']} to all resource_create, resource_update, resource_patch, and package_patch calls
• Required by CKAN 2.11 activity plugin for creating activity records

Fix #13: Dataset Fixture and Fork Actions

• Removed invalid type='auto-generate-name-from-title' (caused routing errors)
• Removed hardcoded id='test-id' (CKAN 2.11 requires valid UUIDs)
• Added user context to all dataset_fork and resource_fork action calls

Fix #14: API Authentication (JWT Tokens)

• Changed from factories.Sysadmin() + user['apikey'] to factories.SysadminWithToken() + user['token']
• CKAN 2.11 switched to JWT-based API tokens for improved security
• Added exhaustive documentation in test comments

CKAN 2.11 Breaking Changes Addressed

1. Mock library: import mock → from unittest import mock
2. NotFound exception: toolkit.NotFound → logic.NotFound
3. Activity plugin:
   • Requires permission_labels column in activity table
   • Requires user context for all data modification actions
   • Factories don't create activities (use call_action instead)
4. Dataset IDs: Must be valid UUIDs, not arbitrary strings
5. Dataset types: Invalid types cause routing errors in URL generation
6. API authentication: JWT tokens (user['token']) instead of API keys (user['apikey'])
7. Factory classes: Use UserWithToken() or SysadminWithToken() for HTTP API tests

Testing Strategy

• Methodical approach: Fixed one issue at a time
• Comprehensive documentation: Detailed PROGRESS.md with root cause analysis
• Pattern reuse: Documented migration patterns for future extensions
• Test-driven: Each fix verified with test runs before moving to next issue

Files Modified

• ckanext/fork/tests/test_helpers.py - Mock import fix
• ckanext/fork/tests/test_validators.py - Mock import fix, activity plugin setup
• ckanext/fork/tests/test_actions.py - User context, API authentication, dataset fixture
• ckanext/fork/tests/conftest.py - clean_db_with_migrations fixture, user context in forked_data
• ckanext/fork/actions.py - NotFound exception location fix
• test.ini - Enabled activity plugin
• PROGRESS.md - Comprehensive documentation of all fixes

Commits

1. Fix mock import for Python 3.10
2. Fix resource_autocomplete and test_valid_activity_id for CKAN 2.11
3. Fix TestResourceAutocomplete fixtures and NotFound exception
4. Add user context to resource actions for CKAN 2.11 activity plugin
5. Fix dataset fixture and add user context to fork actions
6. Fix API authentication for CKAN 2.11 - Use JWT tokens

Test Results

============ 61 passed, 309 warnings in 66.01s =============

Success Rate: 100% (61/61 tests passing) ✅

ckanext/fork/tests/test_actions.py:548

• The context parameter is inconsistently passed to call_action. In this test method, context is placed inside data_dict and unpacked with **data_dict (lines 492, 543), whereas everywhere else in the file it's passed directly as a named parameter (e.g., line 509: call_action('resource_fork', context={'user': user['name']}, id=resource['id'])).

While both approaches work, inconsistency reduces code readability. Consider changing lines 492 and 543 to match the pattern used throughout the rest of the file by passing context directly as a named parameter rather than including it in data_dict.

This schema hasn't changed in years... so I don't see why this change is needed. It feels really bad for performance.

Fixed.
