Task 1.3: Update SerieScanner to Use Key Consistently
Changes:
- Renamed self.folderDict to self.keyDict for clarity and consistency
- Updated internal storage to use serie.key as dictionary key
- Modified scan() method to store series by key
- Enhanced logging to show both key (identifier) and folder (metadata)
- Added debug logging when storing series
- Updated error contexts to include both key and folder in metadata
- Updated completion statistics to use keyDict
- Enhanced docstrings to clarify identifier vs metadata usage
- Fixed import formatting to comply with PEP 8 line length
Success criteria met:
✅ Scanner stores series by 'key'
✅ Progress callbacks use 'key' for identification
✅ Error messages reference both 'key' and 'folder' appropriately
✅ All 554 unit tests pass
Related to: Series Identifier Standardization (Phase 1, Task 1.3)
- Renamed folderDict to keyDict for clarity
- Updated internal storage to use serie.key instead of serie.folder
- Optimized contains() from O(n) to O(1) with direct key lookup
- Added get_by_key() as primary lookup method
- Added get_by_folder() for backward compatibility
- Enhanced docstrings to clarify key vs folder usage
- Created comprehensive test suite (12 tests, all passing)
- Verified no breaking changes (16 SeriesApp tests pass)
This establishes key as the single source of truth for series
identification while maintaining folder as metadata for filesystem
operations only.
- Add validation in Serie.__init__ to prevent empty/whitespace keys
- Add validation in Serie.key setter to prevent empty values
- Automatically strip whitespace from key values
- Add comprehensive docstrings explaining key as unique identifier
- Document folder property as metadata only (not for lookups)
- Create comprehensive test suite with 16 tests in test_serie_class.py
- All 56 Serie-related tests pass successfully
- Update instructions.md to mark Task 1.1 as completed
This is the first task in the Series Identifier Standardization effort
to establish 'key' as the single source of truth for series identification
throughout the codebase.
