Notes

Hyrax Routing (Lynette)
- Notes: https://confluence.cornell.edu/x/HuQIG
- If you have an instance of the `Hyrax::AdministrativeSet`, `to_model_name` uses `singular_route_key`
  - `admin_set_path` is generated from this
  - `polymorphic_path` is called...uses this `singular_route_key` method
  - `ContentEventJob` raises a NoMethodError
  - Hyrax::Monograph does work however
- ContentEventJob uses the Rails::Routes::Helper
  - ActiveModel#name somehow keeps the proper path from being generated
  - What does `ActiveFedora::AdminSet` normally do?
  - The ActiveModel#name is most likely not being overridden properly
- include ActionView::Helpers
  - This within ContentEventJob is likely related to problems also
- Larger problem: `link_to(some_admin_set)` is going to break
- Hyrax::ResourceName is specific to the Valkyrie::Resource Models
  - This is necessary for generating the `ActiveModel#name` which is valid
  - This might be explored also
Exploring the User Interface on the main branch, a bug was discovered for creating Monographs
- Lynette created issue #5084 in response to this

Samvera Help Follow-Up
- Dan Kerchner (https://samvera.slack.com/archives/C0F9JQJDQ/p1629903187107700)
- Tamsin: This is configured on the model directly, so there can be a variable indexer
  - self.indexer should then return the custom IndexPresenter
  - (This is from Blacklight upstream)
Pull Request Review
- Hyrax
  - Many are still just drafts
  - 5082 https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/pull/5082 should be merged to assist with reviewing and merging other pull requests
    - This is a parameterization of a previously-coded collaborator
    - The git diff may be difficult to visually parse, but hopefully there won't be much overlap
  - 5077 https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/pull/5077
    - This should be closed, and contributors should plan to use a generic `SystemUser` for this case
    - Both of the EventJobs and notifications require some `User` to be attached
      - Should this be similar to the AuditUser?
      - Yes, this should work
    - This will be closed then

Call concluded at 12:31 EDT/09:31 PDT
