magento-engcom/import-export-improvements#101 Remove sku autogeneration on new products, keep on duplication

[pogster]

Description

This PR may replace #102.
In contrast to the original PR I restored the SKU autogeneration in case a product is duplicated. The product copier will copy the original SKU and save the duplicate in a loop until a unique url key is found - if no SKU is autogenerated and no valid SKU is supplied it simply won't save the product.

Since the copier sets "isDuplicate" = true I thought it would be good simple solution to check for that entry before autogenerating a SKU.

Fixed Issues (if relevant)

1. Magento modifies the SKU when creating products and SKU is already used #101

Manual testing scenarios

• Create product with sku "TEST"
• Create another product with sku "TEST"
• You should receive an error saying that the sku already exists instead of getting your sku modified.
• "Save & Duplicate" the product with sku "TEST"
• The duplicate receives the SKU "TEST-1" and will already be saved.

Contribution checklist

• Pull request has a meaningful description of its purpose
• All commits are accompanied by meaningful commit messages
• All new or changed code is covered with unit/integration tests (if applicable)
• All automated tests passed successfully (all builds on Travis CI are green)

Thanks for the PR @pogster for me I think it would be fine to generate the sku on duplication. Feel free to reach out to me if you need help with the tests.

[dmanners]

On you branch we have the following testing scenario:

1. Create product with SKU "TEST"
2. Click Edit product with SKU "TEST"
3. Click "Save & Duplicate".
4. New product is created with SKU="TEST-1" and URL Key ="test-1".
5. Click Edit product with SKU "TEST"
6. Click "Save & Duplicate".
7. Validation message "The value specified in the URL Key field would generate a URL that already exists."

But on 2.3-develop we get the following on step 7:

7. New product is created with SKU="TEST-2" and URL Key ="test-2".

My thought is that it should work as it does on 2.3-develop with a new product created with a unique sku and url. What do you think @pogster

[pogster]

I'm sorry but I fail to reproduce that behaviour on my branch pogster:sku-uniqueness. I don't see a difference to the 2.3-develop behaviour and I don't get that error message.

No update here as yet from the QA team but I have asked for further details for you.

Looking at the code I can not imagine how the described behaviour should occur. For me it sounds like it was tested on a wrong/incomplete/old branch. Am Fr., 16. Nov. 2018, 13:57 hat David Manners <notifications@github.com> geschrieben:

@pogster @dmanners Sorry for delay. I recorded video according steps from testing scenario. In general, we cannot create duplicate for same product more than once.

UPD: Added file with better resolution

[dmanners]

Thanks for the information @VasylShvorak does that help you out @pogster?

Per request from @dmanners I ran a few test scenarios:

Testing scenarios:
A)
1- Create new product with sku "ABC"
2- Go back to grid, re-enter in new product page and create new product with sku "ABC"
Expected behavior: Magento throws error message saying the sku is already in use.
Result: Passed.

B)
1- Edit an existing product, for example sku "ABC"
2- "Save and duplicate" from edit page.
Expected behavior: Magento duplicates the product. Autogenerates sku with a dash + sequence number. In the example: "ABC-1"
Result: Passed.

C)
1- Edit an existing product, for example sku "ABC"
2- "Save and duplicate" from edit page.
3- Edit "ABC" again and "Save and duplicate" once more.
Expected behavior: Magento duplicates the product. Autogenerates sku with a dash + sequence number. In the example: "ABC-2" since "ABC-1" already exists.
Result: Passed.

In line with @pogster report, I also cannot reproduce the duplication issue. I have successfully duplicated more than 1 products from the original product.
