Change to RelationshipType API in ver. 4.3 ?
June 14, 2013, 07:49:26 am
I have used the RelationshipType API to create new relationship types without issue in version 4.2.x. But the parameters are being rejected in 4.3.4

My code:
Code: [Select]
civicrm_api("RelationshipType","create", array (version => '3','sequential' =>'1', 'name_b_a' => 'sample 123', 'name_a_b' => 'sample 123 of'  ,
  'contact_type_a' => 'Contact', 'contact_type_b' =>'Contact));
Under 4.2, this creates a relationship type that can be used for any contact type in the system.

when running this code under ver. 4.3, I get the error message:  contact_type_a `Contact` is not valid.

I have tried leaving the parameter blank, and not including the parameter at all.  In those cases, I get the error:
Mandatory key(s) missing from params array: contact_type_a, contact_type_b

Any ideas on what to try next?

Is a relationship between a 'Contact' & a 'Contact' valid?

I took a look at the tests & only see relationships between Individual & Organization, Individual & Individual etc.

I never recall seeing Contact in the relationship type table on any site & suspect it might not be an option in the UI?

I know that at least it used to be an option in the UI, let me check on the latest and greatest...yes 'All contacts' is still an option in the UI. In the database this translates to both fields having a value of null.

My experience with the UI is the same as Erik's experience:  In version 4.2.x and 4.3.4, if I create a new relationship type in the UI and choose "All Contacts" then a "null" is recorded in the database for the field "contact_type_a" and " contact_type_b"

Then I think you should log it as a bug in JIRA

According to the User Interface it is possible to create relationship types between any contact type. Only according to the api the contact type should be set.

I have patched this in the issue tracker

Thanks for that - once I see the double blue light (https://test.civicrm.org/ - blue on 'CiviCRM-4.3-git' & blue on 'CiviCRM-master-git') I'm happy to pick that one up & work it into core

blue light in jenkins is success, no errors on the tests

These are the tests that need some love before we get the bandwidth to add your work into the core (hint, help more than welcome ;)

Yeah - the focus on the blue lights is a personal thing. I found that I was spending over 60 hours (conservatively) each release just fixing tests so I decided that I needed to put some sanity around that & now I simply don't engage with fixing JIRA tickets unless the tests are passing or it has high importance to me or my customers.

(NB I have probably already spent close to 60 hours fixing tests for 4.4 - having got it up to the double blue light 3-4 times in the hope that once there it would stay there)
