Hook doesn't work with v3 API extern REST interface
October 24, 2012, 01:50:39 pm
We are having a problem with a civicrm_custom hook firing when we add petitions to our system using the REST interface. If I sign the petition through the civicrm interface, our custom module runs and the hook fires. However, if the petition is added through the REST interface, the custom hook doesn't fire. We are using a Drupal 7 system on 4.2.4. I have added the following line to make the REST interface work, but it is only a hack and not a solution to the problem:

      if (function_exists('module_list')) {
         $this->allModules = module_list();
       }
+      $this->allModules[] = "custom_module";
 
       $this->requireCiviModules($this->allModules);
     }

Any ideas of why the hook would only fail to fire when using the REST interface. There was a previous forum post by someone else who worked on our system (http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=24930.0), but I have checked and the CRM_Utils_System::loadBootStrap() code is running so I don't think that is the issue.

It is in CRM/Utils/Hook/Drupal.php

Does the function module_list exists? does it returns your module?

did you define your module as being depends of civicrm?

Yes, I have the line "dependencies[] = civicrm" in my module info file, and it doesn't work.
It appears that module_list() does not return my module when input via REST, but when input via the webpage it does.
Here is what the file looks like now:

if (!$this->first || empty($this->allModules)) {
      $this->first = TRUE;

      // copied from user_module_invoke
      if (function_exists('module_list')) {
        $this->allModules = module_list();
      }
      //$this->allModules[] = "custom_module";

      $this->requireCiviModules($this->allModules);
    }

seems like the CMS is not being bootstrapped. Might want to check and see if its ignoring an error and returning early.

the call is in extern/rest.php: $rest->loadCMSBootstrap();

is the authenticateKey call returning false and hence the code proceeds without loading the CMS? i suspect so

Okay, I just surrounded the authenticate key in printouts and loadBootstrap is not failing on the authenticateKey. Is there somewhere else to look next?

Okay, I have finally found the source of my problems. The $this->allModules list contains the entry [mte] (the Mandrill Transactional Email extension) every time the hook invoke function is called after the first time. This means in the code below, (!$this->first || empty($this->allModules) will never be true after the first time because of the extension, and the first time occurs before drupal is bootstrapped.

if (!$this->first || empty($this->allModules)) {
      $this->first = TRUE;

      // copied from user_module_invoke
      if (function_exists('module_list')) {
        $this->allModules = module_list();
      }

      $this->requireCiviModules($this->allModules);
    }

I disabled the extension and everything worked properly.
This looks like a problem with how extensions are handled.
Can someone with knowledge of extensions comment on this?

Thanks for that diagnosis -- it's very helpful!

There's an issue now: http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-11212 We're working on a patch for the next 4.2.x.

Thank colbyw,

Your hook is on civicrm module or on an extension?

The hook that is firing on the custom table is in a module.

The extension is for mandrill transactional emails.
