📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds API tests for creating and retrieving Collecting Events and Locality records. The tests verify persistence of date, discipline, Locality fields, and the Locality relationship.

Changes

Collecting Event Tests

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Locality and relationship tests specifyweb/backend/businessrules/tests/test_locality.py	Tests persistence of Locality fields and linking an existing Locality to a Collecting Event.
Collecting Event creation test specifyweb/backend/businessrules/tests/test_collectingevents.py	Tests persistence of a Collecting Event's startdate and discipline values.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #8505 requires unit-test coverage for Collecting Event creation with an existing Locality, a new Locality, an existing Collector, a new Collector, multiple Collectors, an existing Collecting Trip, a new Collecting Trip, and PaleoContext. The current changes cover the existing and new Locality cases. They do not cover the Collector, multiple Collector, Collecting Trip, or PaleoContext cases.

Full details: Testing Instructions

Explanation

The pull request has no testing instructions. Its description contains only Fixes #8505``, although the repository template requires a Testing instructions section. The pull request changes backend business-rule tests in `test_collectingevents.py` and `test_locality.py`, but it does not identify those tests or provide a command to run them. The existing CI workflow confirms that these are Django backend tests, but repository-wide CI instructions do not replace PR-specific instructions.

Resolution

Add a Testing instructions section to the pull request description. State that the backend tests cover CollectingEventTests and LocalityBusinessRuleTests, and provide a runnable command such as ./ve/bin/python manage.py test specifyweb.backend.businessrules.tests.test_collectingevents specifyweb.backend.businessrules.tests.test_locality (or document the full backend test command if that is the intended validation).

Cover the required related records.

This test creates only discipline and startdate. It does not cover existing or new Locality, Collector, Collecting Trip, PaleoContext, or multiple Collectors. Add focused cases and assert each relationship after reloading the Collectingevent.
