PR #4703 introduced stricter validation in the RECAPDocument model to ensure data integrity by preventing main PACER documents from having attachment numbers. After merging it, we started getting some validation errors, as it appears that there are existing RECAPDocument records in the database that violate these rules due to historical data inconsistencies. Specifically, we have:
Almost 3,000RECAPDocument instances where attachment_number is set (greater than 0), but document_type is marked as a main PACER document (PACER_DOCUMENT). These are probably attachments that didn't have their document_type updated.
Some RECAPDocument instances where attachment_number is 0 and document_type is also PACER_DOCUMENT. These are probably main documents that were wrongly assigned an attachment_number=0 by API users?
This means if some other task is trying to update one of these instances without updating neither the attachment number nor the document type, it will raise an error.
Before debugging any further we should probably clean up the database by fixing the inconsistent instances described above. To do this, we can update the document_type=ATTACHMENT to the ones with attachment numbers > 0:
