[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Subject Heading Plugin not working properly 1.4.2

[Majewski, Steven Dennis (sdm7g)]

It appears to be no longer working in any version.
I believe loc has changed the API for the service slightly. Need to investigate further.
But trying to reverse engineer the parameters from inspecting the difference in the params used in the web page search vs. what’s embedded in LCNAF plugin, I tried this change, which appears to work for me:

         raise OpenSearchException.new("Error during OpenSearch search: #{response.body}")


( The other OCLC search has always been unreliable — it’s a test site and not a supported service. )

Hello All,

We are on version 1.4.2 and we have had a user report that the subject heading plugin is not returning results for either LCNAF or LCSH (OCLC works, however). The user doesn’t receive any error messages when using the plugin,  but tried typing in known subject headings for the Library Of Congress and it’s still not returning results. I checked the  Background jobs and logs and there are not error messages. I also went to the LOC website and all appears to be fine when searching subject headings on their site.

Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? Can you point me in the right direction for resolving this issue?


Thanks,

Candace
