Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of supported PFQL searches across task and workflow searches.
    • PFQL queries are now transformed consistently before execution.
    • Empty, blank, unrelated, and legacy queries retain their previous behavior.
    • Combined search conditions are handled more reliably, including missing predicates.
    • Searches with incomplete or partially specified conditions now behave more consistently.
    • Supported query resources include cases, tasks, processes, and users.

Walkthrough

The controllers now identify supported PFQL query prefixes. Recognized queries are transformed for Elasticsearch or evaluated into predicates. Legacy, empty, blank, and unrelated queries retain their existing handling. Tests now reset databases, update a fixture identifier, and use longer permission-test delays.

Changes

PFQL search handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
PFQL query detection and transformation
src/main/java/com/netgrif/application/engine/pfql/service/utils/SearchUtils.java, src/main/java/com/netgrif/application/engine/workflow/web/AbstractTaskController.java, src/main/java/com/netgrif/application/engine/workflow/web/WorkflowController.java
Supported singular and plural case, task, process, and user prefixes identify PFQL queries. Recognized queries are transformed before Elasticsearch search.
Task predicate composition
src/main/java/com/netgrif/application/engine/workflow/web/AbstractTaskController.java
Task search separates legacy and PFQL requests, removes null predicates, and combines remaining predicates with BooleanBuilder.
Test isolation and fixture identity
src/test/groovy/com/netgrif/application/engine/insurance/EncryptionTest.groovy, src/test/resources/mapping_test.xml
Encryption tests truncate databases before each test. The mapping fixture document identifier changes to mapping_test.
Permission test synchronization
src/test/groovy/com/netgrif/application/engine/workflow/TaskPermissionsTest.groovy
Five permission-test delays increase from one second to three seconds.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a4ead

The PR changes advanced-search query handling but can currently produce incorrect counts or task/case results by using an inconsistent count query format, dropping legacy no-match restrictions, and misclassifying malformed queries. It is not merge-ready until these query transformation, restriction-preservation, and token-boundary issues are corrected.

In
`@src/main/java/com/netgrif/application/engine/workflow/web/AbstractTaskController.java`:
- Around line 388-400: Update startsWithPfqlPrefix in
AbstractTaskController.java (lines 388-400) and the corresponding helper in
WorkflowController.java (lines 290-302) so the where match requires a token
boundary, accepting where followed by whitespace or the end of the query while
rejecting values such as wherex; preserve the existing prefix and exact-match
behavior.
- Around line 202-215: The search aggregation in AbstractTaskController must
preserve the null no-match result from LegacyTaskSearchService.buildSingleQuery
instead of discarding it with filter(Objects::nonNull). Detect that result
before combining predicates and return an empty page or add an explicit false
predicate, ensuring both mixed and single-request searches return no tasks when
the legacy group query guarantees no match.
- Around line 184-191: Apply the existing PFQL-to-Elasticsearch conversion used
in AbstractTaskController to requests before both elasticTaskService.count and
elasticCaseService.count calls, ensuring each request is evaluated with
SearchUtils.evaluateQuery and replaced with evaluator.getFullElasticQuery when
isPfqlQuery returns true. Update the corresponding count flow in
WorkflowController as well; both listed sites require the same preprocessing.
