Fix is_not_offered_this_year for multi-course entries#268
Conversation
When a catalog entry contains multiple courses (e.g., HST.010 and HST.011), the 'not offered' indicator might only apply to one of them. Previously, if any 'not offered' indicator was found in the shared HTML block, ALL courses in that entry were skipped. This fix ensures multi-course entries are always included, since we cannot reliably determine which specific course the indicator applies to. Fixes sipb#267

I think we might be able to pass in the course numbers to is_not_offered_this_year and then just check if there are multiple numbers? Then do some different logic, let me try it out and see if it works |

Summary
Fixes #267
When a catalog entry contains multiple courses (e.g., HST.010 and HST.011 sharing the same content block), the
is_not_offered_this_yearcheck was applied to the entire shared HTML. If any "not offered" indicator was found, all courses in that entry were incorrectly skipped.The Problem
The example from the issue (course 12.S492) demonstrates this: when one course in a multi-course entry has a "not offered" indicator, the current logic hides both courses from Hydrant — even though one of them might actually be offered.
The Fix
For multi-course entries (
len(course_nums) > 1), we now skip theis_not_offered_this_yearcheck entirely and include all courses. This is because we cannot reliably determine which specific course the indicator applies to.For single-course entries, the behavior remains unchanged.
Changes
scrapers/catalog.py: Modified the condition inscrape_courses_from_pageto only useis_not_offered_this_yearas a skip criterion for single-course entries.
