Fix WorkQueue.pack(): use flags=re.I instead of positional re.I argument - #777
Merged
Conversation
The re.sub() calls were passing re.I as the 4th positional argument (count), not as flags=re.I. This meant only the first AND/OR/NOT/IN/LIKE/NULL replacement would occur, causing eval() failures for criteria with multiple conditions. Example broken criteria: 'prodSourceLabel="test" AND processingType="x" AND workingGroup="EIC"' After pack(): 'prodSourceLabel="test" and processingType="x" AND workingGroup="EIC"' The 2nd+ AND remain uppercase -> eval() crashes with NameError: AND Fixed by using flags=re.I keyword argument in all re.sub() calls.

n.b. use of positional count and flags arguments are deprecated in Python 3.13 https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html
