Error during ORCID search causes nearly blank author record to be created #5229

Description

User story

During journal article submission, on the author details page, I might have a nearly blank author record created when searching for a coauthor.

Janeway version

1.8.x

Cause

This happens when the ORCID search function hits an error. I tested it with:

  • incomplete ORCID settings in settings.py, and a valid ORCID
  • complete ORCID settings in settings.py, and an invalid ORCID (last digit incremented by 1 to violate the checksum digit)

Expected behavior

The error is detected, a suitable message to the user is generated and displayed, and no author record is created.
