Downloading metadata: Blank description overriding?

I have a book with mobi-asin:B0B8G1287N.

When I download it with only Amazon for a source (along with title/author), it correctly picks up this book with the description.

If I also enable Goodreads, it combines the entries, but the description is now blank, presumably because the GR entry doesn't have one.

Is this a plugin issue, or should I file a Calibre ticket?

I know that downloading proper metadata can be tricky and I'm always testing new combinations, so I've tried to reproduce this issue by using a dummy file with that same asin. FWIW, the results:

- by using default Amazon PI (the built-in one), I had the same happen which you described: got a blank description when GR is also enabled. Other GR meta fields (grrrating, grvotes, GR identifier etc.) were downloaded as expected.

- using Amazon Multiple Countries (settings: US - Amazon servers): with both GR and AMZ-MC enabled, I got the Amazon description returned -- AN INVASION. A CONSPIRACY. ONE SHOT AT REDEMPTION. (Gee!! sounds fun enough for me), but then I got no meta from GR returned (not one GR field's meta was downloaded)

(a third result I just managed to get: by setting "Choose server automatically" in AMZ-MC, I had the same output as in the first case (a blank description), so GR meta fields were downloaded)

When merging comments during metadata download calibre picks the longest. The goodreads plugin is probably setting the comments to a string with spaces or similar. It should instead set it to None or the empty string, or just not set it at all when no comments are present.

See the merge() function in sources/identify.py

I have checked the Goodreads plugin code. It was returning an empty string in this circumstance. I have tried changing the Goodreads code to ensure it returns None, and I am *still* seeing the same problem reported above from the merge that takes place with the Amazon result.

To replicate, create this empty book:
Title: Lost Galaxy: The Complete Series
Author: Daniel Young
Identifiers: amazon:B0B8G1287N, goodreads:61991150

You can use the attached version of the Goodreads plugin that ensures it always leaves mi.comments as None rather than empty string.

Spoiler:

Identifiers : amazon:B0B8G1287N
Comments : <p>AN INVASION. A CONSPIRACY. ONE SHOT AT REDEMPTION.</p>
<p><strong>The</strong> Lost Galaxy <strong>series</strong> follows the adventures of a lone lawman, his aging and possibly insane spaceship, and a trio of mercenaries, new recruits, and hardened criminals who are all swept together behind an alien invasion that could wipe out humanity.</p>
<p>As Provincial Sergeant Jack Bowman and his ragtag group race to save themselves and warn humanity of the invasion force, they learn that there is more at stake than anyone—human or alien—could have guessed.</p>
<p>A conspiracy could bring down everything in the galaxy...</p>
<p><em>Lost Galaxy: The Complete Series</em> is old-fashioned space opera at its best, perfect for fans of thrilling pulp sci-fi of yesteryear. <strong>If you're interested in hard science fiction look elsewhere. But if you're looking for nonstop adventures on strange worlds with even stranger aliens, this series is for you!</strong></p>
<p>Includes all 6 books in the Lost Galaxy series:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>The Last Enemy</em></li>
<li><em>Beyond Revolt</em></li>
<li><em>Shadowland</em></li>
<li><em>The Last Deceit</em></li>
<li><em>Swept Away</em></li>
<li><em>On Redemption</em></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Five star reviews for the first 3 books in the series:</strong></p>
<p><em>★★★★★ "Lots of great space battles and character development with plenty of background."</em></p>
<p><em>★★★★★ "I can honestly say that I didn't even have to get 10 pages into this book set and I was hooked."</em></p>
<p><em>★★★★★ "Quite a gripping and action packed adrenaline fest."</em></p>
<p><em>★★★★★ "Another start of an amazing series that I got sucked into and could not put down."</em></p>
<p><em>★★★★★ "Full of action, suspense, intrigue and deceit throughout the series."</em></p>

For that test case no merging is happening, There is one result from goodreads and one from amazon. They have different titles, the goodreads one has (Books 1-6) append to the title. Thus they are not merged and you are presented with two results, one with comments which comes from amazon and one without which comes from goodreads.

Hi Kovid, Christmas wishes to you and the family!

Right no merge makes sense in the behaviour being seen. I was confusing myself by seeing both Goodreads and Amazon identifiers on the first row and thinking that was a "merge", which it isn't.

So I'm confused as to how @ownedbycats had an issue in the first place then - as you say these two books do not merge. I've followed their same steps of pulling Amazon metadata first, then enabling Goodreads metadata, trying a download and every single time I get two entries on the left, no merging.

In other words to me it looks like there never was a problem - or at least not one I can replicate with that specific book example.
