User Accounts in Alma that do not have an assigned barcode Generate Error

[kevinreiss]

Expected behavior

When a user in Alma who does not have a barcode logs into the request form the form should present them the options available to their Alma patron group even if they do not have a barcode value stored in Alma.

Actual behavior

If a user who has an active Alma account but does not have an assigned barcode, the request forms generates a HTTP 500 error screen.

Steps to replicate

1. Have credentials for a user who is active in Alma but that does not have an assigned barcode. See lastpass for a test user in this state.
   2 Visit a Show page of an item which requestable copies
2. Click the request button

Acceptance Criteria

• A test Alma user is created that is active but does not have a barocde.
• The request page responds without an error when a user in this state visits one.

Impact of this bug

Users whose accounts are in this state have a confusing user experience.

Implementation notes, if any

Accounts in this state (Active User, no assigned barcode) are very rare and are mostly in the CASUAL Hourly patron group that is not eligible for any request services.

• Need to reach out to someone in the Alma Tech Team to create a test user in the Alma sandbox and production environment that meets these parameters, since no one on the DACS team has the correct privileges to do so.
