I haven't looked at the code again recently, but I seem to recall that it
has found a reference in one direction, but not in the reverse direction,
and it removes the reference that does exist - as far as I recall it does
not remove the person (which might be suggested by the message).

I think that asserting that a child belongs to a family might be regarded as
a strong claim that needs adequate evidence. If there is doubt, as
exemplified by the link going in only one direction, it is safer to remove
the link, rather than reinforce the possibly doubtful assertion of a
relationship by adding the link in the other direction. After all, the user
(if he understands the messages!!!) can insert the two way relationship
himself if he believes it to be correct.

Note that import which has been cleaned up for 3.4.0 (thanks Michiel Nauta)
checks for certain references that are incorrect in the imported file. See
bug 5466 though the solution has been applied to all sorts of import,
especially GEDCOM not just XML: "one of the most common bugs we run into:
the user imports a file, the file does not fully comply with the standard,
the import routine does not complain and the user finds out that his family
tree is malformed long after the import by doing something, like sorting,
merging, generating a report or whatever". See the discussion in the bug on
whether to ask the user to fix it.

We  decided to automatically correct the error if necessary (AFAIR) on
import rather than remove the link, so not the same as the check and repair
tool. I think the different choice here can be justified on the grounds that
the problem is probably due to a failure in the exporting program which has
not output all the information correctly, though the existence of part of
the information implies that it believes the link to exist, so we trust the
assertion from the imported file.

(The situation in 5466 relates to missing objects, but I think that the fix
considers some other incorrect data as well, hence why it is related to this
question).

That looks really useful! That would also help test the web interface
(which I wasn't sure could be done) along with the functionality.

I'm also adding the ability to have a DictionaryDb copy of the
database, and be able to run a diff between them after issuing
specific commands. That should help make sure extra items are not
deleted. That could be combined with the above.

Thanks!

what about using selenium{,-ide} for testing? ev. python-selenium scripts
as gramps is pythonic?

Hello Benny,

 By name, you mean a Monty Python type of name? Something like...  *"A tiger? In Africa?!"* :-)

 Stephane,

 As for 3.4.0, Tim handled 3.4.1. When would you have time for a release? Everything is good for us.

 Tim, can you propose a name to help Stephane?

 This appears to crash in a Windows specific module (subprocess.py, though it
 may be caused by a bad parameter passed in), so it is something that needs
 to be resolved by someone on Windows.

 Anyway, I don't think this should hold up the release of 3.4.1.

Re: [Gramps-devel] Re : Gramps 3.4.1 ready for release

[Peter Landgren <peter.talken@te...>]

This problem is strange. I have run Gramps on Win 7 both 32 and 64 
versions and generated hundreds of
Graphviz diagrams without any problems.

In some installations you can get a console message like:

(dot.exe:3424): Pango-WARNING **: couldn't load font "Times New 
Not-Rotated 14",
  falling back to "Sans Not-Rotated 14", expect ugly output.
