Various scripts used in VAULT (our openEQUELLA instance). The scripts are categorized by where they're used:
asc contains Advanced Scripting Controls used in Contribution Wizards.
bookmarklets are browser-side JS meant to aid in copying useful oE URLs.
fine-arts-jr-review is a script for biannual updates to certain data in oE.
retention scripts are tools for applying the VAULT Retention Policy.
user-scripts contains bulk metadata update tools meant to be run from the Manage Resources section.
utilities are scripts for bulk processing that Manage Resources cannot handle such as downloading files, manipulating user groups, or generating taxonomies. They often interact with oE via its REST API.
Most of these are node scripts which share dependencies. Run pnpm install or npm install to get them.
The fine arts junior review directory is a python project using Poetry. Run poetry install to get the dependencies.
Most tools will require their own rc file with settings, OAuth tokens, and other secrets. Each directory has an example and a readme with instructions.
openEQUELLA's internal JavaScript engine is most likely Mozilla's Rhino, for what it's worth. That means modern JavaScript features (e.g. ES5 stuff like Array#map) are not available.
Probably the biggest gotcha I've found working with openEQUELLA's JavaScript is that the return value of xml.get on an empty metadata node is not strictly equal to empty string (xml.get('thisdoesnotexist') !== ""). That's why conditions through these scripts will employ != or == when checking against strings returned by xml.get.
npm test runs the retention procedures' tests. They require a separate .equellarc file specific to the tests at the path retention/test/.testretentionrc (there is an example file provided). npm run csvtest runs the metadata-csv tests and npm run grouptest runs the utilities/group.js tests.
As tests are added to other utilities, they will need to run à la carte. I usually work on one utility at a time and it doesn't make sense to run tests over all of them, especially because they tend to involve HTTP requests and thus are quite slow. View the package.json scripts for shortcuts to different tools' tests.
