Federation breaks with specific combinations of portals

[galviset]

Observered in the EarthPortal: when selecting AgroPortal and EcoPortal (without BiodivPortal), the UI returns We're sorry but something has gone wrong. We have been notified of this error.. Any other federated portal combination works on my side.

When digging into the logs, this is what is shown:

F, [2025-01-09T17:09:09.206470 #5170] FATAL -- :   
NoMethodError (undefined method `[]=' for nil:NilClass):
  
app/controllers/concerns/submission_filter.rb:74:in `block in merge_by_acronym'
app/controllers/concerns/submission_filter.rb:72:in `each'
app/controllers/concerns/submission_filter.rb:72:in `merge_by_acronym'
app/controllers/concerns/submission_filter.rb:50:in `submissions_paginate_filter'
app/controllers/ontologies_controller.rb:47:in `block in ontologies_filter'
app/controllers/ontologies_controller.rb:46:in `ontologies_filter'

Which leads to this function:

bioportal_web_ui/app/controllers/concerns/submission_filter.rb

Line 74 in 80fc27d

ontology[:sources] = ontologies.map { |x| x[:id] }

I didn't have the time to dig in, but it seems there is an edge case when it comes to handling acronyms.

@galviset , can you copy us the link that does break in EarthPortal, that does show the error.

This is on the browse page, the error is displayed instead of the list of ontologies
https://earthportal.eu/ontologies/?sort_by=ontology_name&portals=agroportal%2Cecoportal
