Phlogiston miscategorizes some tasks that are categorized by ColumnRule
Closed, DeclinedPublic8 Estimated Story Points

Description

In the VE Current Open Tasks phlog report (http://phlogiston-dev.wmflabs.org/vec_open_by_category.html)

T189821 is categorized as Visual Editor Other under the categorization rule:

6. Categorize as VisualEditor Other all tasks
    in project Current work
    and not in any rules above

However, it should have been caught by the categorization rule:

2. Categorize as Up next all tasks
    in project Current work
    and in a column whose title includes the text Up next

UPDATE: Tentative diagnosis in comments; high-effort fix.

Debugging notes.

  1. The task is mis-categorized in the database:
phlogiston=# select date, category from task_on_date_recategorized where id = 189821 and scope = 'vec' order by date;
        date         |      category
---------------------+--------------------
 2018-04-13 00:00:00 | VisualEditor Other
 2018-04-14 00:00:00 | VisualEditor Other
[...]
 2018-07-23 00:00:00 | VisualEditor Other
(102 rows)
  1. The raw information in task_on_date is missing the column information, so all categorization by column in vec and presumably other projects is broken.
 phlogiston=# select date, project, projectcolumn from task_on_date where id = 189821 and scope = 'vec' order by date;
        date         |   project    | projectcolumn
---------------------+--------------+---------------
 2018-04-13 00:00:00 | Current work |
 2018-04-14 00:00:00 | Current work |
[...]
 2018-07-23 00:00:00 | Current work |
(102 rows)
  1. The raw Phabricator data in the database appears to be correct:
select * from maniphest_transaction where task_id = 189821 and transaction_type = 'core:columns';
   id    |              phid              | task_id |          object_phid           | transaction_type | old_value |                                                                                                             new_value                                                                                                             |     date_modified      | metadata

The first row is for the project Radar, column Watching; the second row for the same, and the third (earliest) row is for MediaWiki-Page-editing, column Stash.

New hypothesis: the task is not getting categorized because it doesn't have a column in Phlog, and the reason it doesn't have a column in Phlog is that Phlog only gets columns from core:columns transactions, and when the task was moved to the Visual Editor (Current) board, this was documented in an core:edge transaction, but the column was assigned by default rather than by transaction.

JAufrecht set the point value for this task to 8.
