Dataset Version - Missing summary and view differences details

[lubitchv]

There is a bug in "Viewing Differences" for dataset metadata.
The bug can be seen here https://demo.dataverse.org/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi%3A10.5072%2FFK2%2FAFDHNP.
In Versions tab select 1.0 and 3.0 and press "View Differences". There will be no differences, although it should have differences.

Steps to reproduce the bug:

1. Add new dataset with ssis file. Publish it.
2. Select file then Edit Files -> Metadata. Change File Metadata description, save it. Publish it.
3. In Metadata tab, Press "Add + Edit Metadata". Edit the fields (subtitle, alternative title, etc). Save it and publish
4. In Versions Tab select version 1 and version 3 and press "View Differences". One will not be able to see the differences, it is empty.

@lubitchv thanks for the bug report.

For the record, the demo server is running 3721306 (version 4.11). Here's a screenshot:

Two other missing version details related issues to consider and complete or close are, Versions Tab: Adding/removing a guestbook does not appear in version differences #4905, as well as Version Differences Detail - Tabular tags applied in DRAFT version not recorded in Version Details #3430.

Was able to replicate this bug locally on develop (v 4.15). Just editing the file metadata description resulted in an empty popup.

Enabling request access of a restricted file in the edit terms pg results in an empty summary in the versions table on the dataset pg.

We hit what I believe to be this bug in our testing of 4.16. Adding from server.log:

javax.el.ELException: /dataset.xhtml @1027,197 rendered="#{fileDiff.fileRest1 != null}":

at edu.harvard.iq.dataverse.DatasetVersionDifference$datasetFileDifferenceItem.getFileRest1(DatasetVersionDifference.java:1622)

@lubitchv hi! There's nothing in code review or QA right now so I'm taking a look at what's in "community dev" and noticed this is assigned to you. Are you still working on this issue? Should it be assigned to you? Thanks!

[lubitchv]

Hi Philip. No, I never worked on this issue. I just reported the bug that I saw. I do not think it should be assigned to me.

@lubitchv thanks! I just unassigned you can removed it from "community dev" (and from the board entirely). This undoes what @djbrooke did so heads up to him. 😄 Thanks for reporting the bug!
