test: Expose critical AccessPolicy permission validation failures

Open mlhenderson opened this issue 1 month ago • 1 comments

Comprehensive test suite reveals multiple permission system bugs:

  • Type validation failures in AppModel configuration
  • Broken permission hierarchy (changePermission without write)
  • Silent failures in policy creation and broadcasting
  • Integration inconsistencies across views and models

Tests document expected failures and provide roadmap for fixes.

I suspect that these issues are related to the bugs contained in the skipped tests marked EXPECTED FAILURE:

https://github.com/NCEAS/metacatui/issues/1918 https://github.com/NCEAS/metacatui/issues/1916

There do not appear to be that many issues regarding access policy bugs, but it could be that this is because most data deployed with Metacat is public.
