Regression: No longer able to checkout items with whitespace in barcode

Description

Many FOLIO institutions have item records that have whitespace in them. This is often a legacy issue with barcode data that is not necessarily able to be easily fixed prior to a FOLIO adoption; that means that FOLIO circulation needs to be able to accept barcodes with whitespace in them and allow circulation to occur.

This problem was identified as part of Missouri State's adoption, and addressed in the Checkout app as part of https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/CIRC-284#icft=CIRC-284 and https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/UICHKOUT-506#icft=UICHKOUT-506

This has regressed - you can no longer checkout items with a space in the barcode. It fails with an error message that tells you it cannot find the barcode. Screenshot from Snapshot:

In addition, it doesn't appear that this behavior was ever addressed for SIP2 and NCIP scenarios (though perhaps it was considered implied by the resolution of https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/CIRC-284#icft=CIRC-284).

I revisited this issue and tested in a Lotus environment today and was able to successfully do a check in and check out. Either something has changed since this was submitted related to a dependency I was unaware of, and that fixed the problem, or I was missing something when I reported the problem back in Fall 2021. In any case, I am going to resolve this as "Cannot reproduce."

, I'm no longer sure what to do with this bug. It's very old, and it's blocked until the feature questions are resolved. Should it just hang out until then?

Hi . Just checking in on this. Has any decision been made?

Hi - I don't have an update yet. There is a ticket over in Inventory - https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/UXPROD-3473 - that is discussing how to handle this. In reading the comments, it looks like there has been no decision about it. What I don't want to have happen is for you all to do work to resolve this and then for the Inventory team to do work that causes a regression again.

What I'm going to do for now is block the jira on https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/UXPROD-3473#icft=UXPROD-3473 and comment over there to ask for/whether a decision has been made or what the next steps are on the inventory end. I will comment on the ticket and tag you.
