OCR fails if metadata extractor is running

[gabriel-piles]

When Uwazi receives OCR results with metadata extraction enabled, the following error occurs:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'template')

To Reproduce

1. Start Uwazi with

yarn blank state
export EXTERNAL_SERVICES=true
yarn hot

3. Activate metadata extractor and ocr flags

  "ocrServiceEnabled": true
  "features": {
    "ocr": {
      "url": "http://localhost:5051"
    },
    "metadataExtraction": {
      "url": "http://localhost:5056"
    },
    "metadata-extraction": true
  },

4. Start OCR service

git clone https://github.com/huridocs/pdf-document-layout-analysis-async.git
cd pdf-document-layout-analysis-async
make start

5. Send a PDF to OCR

@gabriel-piles is this prior to the incorporation of OCR into the other services? Or is this still an issue?

[gabriel-piles]

@RafaPolit yes, it is prior to the OCR server change.

And, it is still an issue.

OcrManager process was running without the proper permissions and when metadata extractor picks up from the ocr file creation the process can not get the entity if its not public.
I did work on a more generic way to give workers proper permissions, until now every taskManager was responsable of setting up the permissions for its own process, i have changed this so that we can se up a default permission used now in worker.ts since all the workers need to run with a super permission because this processes do not belong to any user.

After trying to replicate this i discovered this only happens locally when using EXTERNAL_SERVICES=true production/staging environments worked fine.
