Sent 3536 to QA since this one is for the feature and that one was listed as a bug.

Implemented, API only at this point. See scripts/api/readme.md for details.

Tested on 4/2

Delete works the first time but I'm noticing some strange follow on behavior. The user who deleted loses the ability to do destructive edits in the same parent dv they just deleted from so they cannot delete any other dv's they may have created in the same dv.

For example:

Pete creates 3 dv's:

Root/Test Delete Parent
Root/Test Delete Parent/Test Delete 1
Root/Test Delete Parent/Test Delete 2

Pete deletes Test Delete 1, works just fine. Pete tries to delete Test Delete 2 and gets error about no perms to perform destructive edit. As a bonus, Pete can no longer create a dataverse in the parent dv, Test Delete Parent.

This is the command I'm using to access the API: curl -v -X DELETE http://dvn-build.hmdc.harvard.edu/api/dvs/51?key=pete

Indeed, the command was deleting too much. Nice catch.

To test, I've added new folder scripts/issues/3543 with the needed files to setup and test.

Tested on 4/7

This works fine now.

Two notes about behavior: it does honor creator/non creator perms -won't let you delete as not creator (no destructive edit perms is what the message says).

It does not allow deleting a dv that has datasets, complains that it is not empty.

Closing ticket
