Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Status values are preserved in requests, allowing status-based results to reflect the submitted selection.
    • Project and member exports now handle status selections supplied as repeated values or as a comma-separated list. Missing or unsupported status values are treated as an empty selection. Other query parameters continue to follow the existing handling behavior.

Walkthrough

The backend now whitelists status in HPP and accepts repeated array values or comma-separated strings in project and member exports. Missing or unsupported values produce an empty status list.

Changes: Status query handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preserve and parse status query values
worklenz-backend/src/app.ts, worklenz-backend/src/controllers/reporting-controller.ts
HPP whitelists status. The project and member export handlers use array values directly, split string values on commas, and default other or missing values to an empty array.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 7568c

Repeated status filters are now kept and handled correctly by the project and member exports. Other endpoints that read a single status value could misbehave if a client sent repeated status parameters, but no such caller has been found, so nothing here should block merging.

Explanation

The title names the main change: multiple selected statuses in My Tasks filters are preserved instead of only the last one. The changeset matches this. The hpp middleware in app.ts stops filtering the status query parameter, and the reporting controller now accepts status as a repeated array or a comma-separated string. The title is specific and accurate. It does not name the backend export handlers, but it does not need to.

Limit the status whitelist to the My Tasks route.

The global whitelist keeps repeated status query values as arrays on every route under /api/v1. Before this change, hpp kept only the last value, so the reporting handlers received a string.

For /api/v1/reporting/projects/export?status=a&status=b, ReportingController.exportProjects calls split on the array at line 1079. Arrays have no split method, so the request fails before the export starts.

ReportingController.exportMembers at line 1780 replaces an array with []. The selected statuses are dropped from the members export.

Scope the whitelist to the route that needs it, or keep the previous single-value behavior for the reporting routes. Alternatively, update the reporting handlers to accept arrays.
