fix(schedules): accept JSON boolean is_active/is_processing (fixes #218) - #231
Crackhead-gsk wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
…thicalLTD#218) Creating a server schedule with is_active sent as a JSON boolean (`true`) failed with 500 "Invalid is_active" / CREATION_FAILED. PHP's is_numeric(true) returns false, so the validation in ServerSchedule::createSchedule() rejected the natural JSON shape a REST client sends for a boolean field, even though the backend logged the coerced value as "1". Fix: - Extracted the is_active/is_processing validation into a new, DB-free ServerSchedule::isValidActiveFlag() helper that accepts real PHP booleans in addition to numeric 0/1. - createSchedule() and updateSchedule() now normalize accepted values to a plain int (0/1) before binding them into the INSERT/UPDATE, since PDO's native bool binding for MySQL is inconsistent across drivers. Verified: - php -l: clean - New isolated unit test (no DB/App boot needed, exercises the extracted helper directly): 5/5 green on PHP 8.5.9 - Proven to catch the original bug: reverted isValidActiveFlag() to the old is_numeric()-only check, the boolean test failed as expected ("Failed asserting that false is true"); re-applied fix, green again - Full framework test suite was not run against the live panel database to avoid touching production data; this change is scoped to a single pure validation helper plus two normalization call sites

Reject fractional numeric values before normalization.
is_numeric(0.5) is true, and (int) 0.5 is 0. The helper therefore accepts 0.5, 1.5, and numeric strings such as "1.9". Creation then silently stores a different flag value. Compare the numeric value itself with 0 or 1 before casting it.

Validate update flags before casting them.
ServerSchedule::updateSchedule() casts supplied is_active and is_processing values without calling isValidActiveFlag(). The HTTP update path passes decoded request fields directly to this method, so "yes" can be persisted as 0, while 2 can be persisted as 2. Validate each supplied flag before normalization and reject invalid values.

Add fractional-value rejection cases.
Add cases for 0.5, 1.5, "0.5", and "1.9". The current helper accepts these values because it casts before checking membership. The tests should lock the flag domain to exact numeric 0 or 1.
