Key Code Changes - Migration System Improvements

File: server/cronMigrationManager.js

Change 1: Added Checklists Import (Line 17)

// ADDED
import Checklists from '/models/checklists';

---

Change 2: Fixed isMigrationNeeded() Default Case (Lines 402-487)

BEFORE (problematic):

isMigrationNeeded(migrationName) {
  switch (migrationName) {
    case 'lowercase-board-permission':
      // ... checks ...
    
    // ... other cases ...
    
    default:
      return true; // ❌ PROBLEM: ALL unknown migrations marked as needed!
  }
}

AFTER (fixed):

isMigrationNeeded(migrationName) {
  switch (migrationName) {
    case 'lowercase-board-permission':
      return !!Boards.findOne({
        $or: [
          { permission: 'PUBLIC' },
          { permission: 'Private' },
          { permission: 'PRIVATE' }
        ]
      });
    
    case 'change-attachments-type-for-non-images':
      return !!Attachments.findOne({
        $or: [
          { type: { $exists: false } },
          { type: null },
          { type: '' }
        ]
      });
    
    case 'card-covers':
      return !!Cards.findOne({ coverId: { $exists: true, $ne: null } });
    
    case 'use-css-class-for-boards-colors':
      return !!Boards.findOne({
        $or: [
          { color: { $exists: true } },
          { colorClass: { $exists: false } }
        ]
      });
    
    case 'denormalize-star-number-per-board':
      return !!Users.findOne({
        'profile.starredBoards': { $exists: true, $ne: [] }
      });
    
    case 'add-member-isactive-field':
      return !!Boards.findOne({
        members: {
          $elemMatch: { isActive: { $exists: false } }
        }
      });
    
    case 'ensure-valid-swimlane-ids':
      return !!Cards.findOne({
        $or: [
          { swimlaneId: { $exists: false } },
          { swimlaneId: null },
          { swimlaneId: '' }
        ]
      });
    
    case 'add-swimlanes': {
      const boards = Boards.find({}, { fields: { _id: 1 }, limit: 100 }).fetch();
      return boards.some(board => {
        const hasSwimlane = Swimlanes.findOne({ boardId: board._id }, { fields: { _id: 1 }, limit: 1 });
        return !hasSwimlane;
      });
    }
    
    case 'add-checklist-items':
      return !!Checklists.findOne({
        $or: [
          { items: { $exists: false } },
          { items: null }
        ]
      });
    
    case 'add-card-types':
      return !!Cards.findOne({
        $or: [
          { type: { $exists: false } },
          { type: null },
          { type: '' }
        ]
      });
    
    case 'migrate-attachments-collectionFS-to-ostrioFiles':
      return false; // Fresh installs use Meteor-Files only
    
    case 'migrate-avatars-collectionFS-to-ostrioFiles':
      return false; // Fresh installs use Meteor-Files only
    
    case 'migrate-lists-to-per-swimlane': {
      const boards = Boards.find({}, { fields: { _id: 1 }, limit: 100 }).fetch();
      return boards.some(board => comprehensiveBoardMigration.needsMigration(board._id));
    }
    
    default:
      return false; // ✅ FIXED: Only run migrations we explicitly check for
  }
}

Change 3: Updated executeMigrationStep() (Lines 494-570)

BEFORE (simulated execution):

async executeMigrationStep(jobId, stepIndex, stepData, stepId) {
  const { name, duration } = stepData;
  
  // Check for specific migrations...
  if (stepId === 'denormalize-star-number-per-board') {
    await this.executeDenormalizeStarCount(jobId, stepIndex, stepData);
    return;
  }
  
  // ... other checks ...
  
  // ❌ PROBLEM: Simulated progress for unknown migrations
  const progressSteps = 10;
  for (let i = 0; i <= progressSteps; i++) {
    const progress = Math.round((i / progressSteps) * 100);
    cronJobStorage.saveJobStep(jobId, stepIndex, {
      progress,
      currentAction: `Executing: ${name} (${progress}%)`
    });
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, duration / progressSteps));
  }
}

AFTER (real handlers):

async executeMigrationStep(jobId, stepIndex, stepData, stepId) {
  const { name, duration } = stepData;

  // Check if this is the star count migration that needs real implementation
  if (stepId === 'denormalize-star-number-per-board') {
    await this.executeDenormalizeStarCount(jobId, stepIndex, stepData);
    return;
  }

  // Check if this is the swimlane validation migration
  if (stepId === 'ensure-valid-swimlane-ids') {
    await this.executeEnsureValidSwimlaneIds(jobId, stepIndex, stepData);
    return;
  }

  if (stepId === 'migrate-lists-to-per-swimlane') {
    await this.executeComprehensiveBoardMigration(jobId, stepIndex, stepData);
    return;
  }

  if (stepId === 'lowercase-board-permission') {
    await this.executeLowercasePermission(jobId, stepIndex, stepData);
    return;
  }

  if (stepId === 'change-attachments-type-for-non-images') {
    await this.executeAttachmentTypeStandardization(jobId, stepIndex, stepData);
    return;
  }

  if (stepId === 'card-covers') {
    await this.executeCardCoversMigration(jobId, stepIndex, stepData);
    return;
  }

  if (stepId === 'add-member-isactive-field') {
    await this.executeMemberActivityMigration(jobId, stepIndex, stepData);
    return;
  }

  if (stepId === 'add-swimlanes') {
    await this.executeAddSwimlanesIdMigration(jobId, stepIndex, stepData);
    return;
  }

  if (stepId === 'add-card-types') {
    await this.executeAddCardTypesMigration(jobId, stepIndex, stepData);
    return;
  }

  if (stepId === 'migrate-attachments-collectionFS-to-ostrioFiles') {
    await this.executeAttachmentMigration(jobId, stepIndex, stepData);
    return;
  }

  if (stepId === 'migrate-avatars-collectionFS-to-ostrioFiles') {
    await this.executeAvatarMigration(jobId, stepIndex, stepData);
    return;
  }

  if (stepId === 'use-css-class-for-boards-colors') {
    await this.executeBoardColorMigration(jobId, stepIndex, stepData);
    return;
  }

  if (stepId === 'add-checklist-items') {
    await this.executeChecklistItemsMigration(jobId, stepIndex, stepData);
    return;
  }

  // ✅ FIXED: Unknown migration step - log and mark as complete without doing anything
  console.warn(`Unknown migration step: ${stepId} - no handler found. Marking as complete without execution.`);
  cronJobStorage.saveJobStep(jobId, stepIndex, {
    progress: 100,
    currentAction: `Migration skipped: No handler for ${stepId}`
  });
}

Change 4: Added New Execute Methods (Lines 1344-1485)

executeAvatarMigration()
