Description Mikhail 2017-06-07 22:21:14 UTC
No html or txt file is created in UTF8 after convert:

soffice --invisible --convert-to "html:XHTML Writer File:UTF8" --outdir "C:\Users\User\Desktop" "C:\Users\User\Desktop\test_calc.xls"

soffice --invisible --convert-to "txt:Text (encoded):UTF8" --outdir "C:\Users\User\Desktop" "C:\Users\User\Desktop\test_calc.ods"

That's expected, as the used filter names are wrong. The correct names are "XHTML Calc File" and "Text - txt - csv (StarCalc)".

Well, if there is indeed a crash (didn't check) then it should be dealt with. But let's move to UNCONFIRMED, to let QA handle this bug first.

No crash for me with Version: 5.5.0.0.alpha0+

But the dump exists for Mikhail, so let's leave it open..

@Miklos, I thought you might be interested in this issue...
Comment 7 Julien Nabet 2018-07-23 15:15:54 UTC
On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated some days ago, I could still reproduce this.

The pb is here:
    513 SwDoc* SwXMLExport::getDoc()
    514 {
    515     if( m_pDoc != nullptr )
    516         return m_pDoc;
    517     Reference < XTextDocument > xTextDoc( GetModel(), UNO_QUERY );
xTextDoc is emptyRef here because GetModel() retrieves mxModel which is "uno::Reference to (ScModelObj *)" (expected since we got a Calc file)

With this patch:
diff --git a/sw/source/filter/xml/xmlexp.cxx b/sw/source/filter/xml/xmlexp.cxx
index 8a7da0693df1..420e5974011e 100644

+
     Reference < XText > xText = xTextDoc->getText();
     Reference<XUnoTunnel> xTextTunnel( xText, UNO_QUERY);
     assert( xTextTunnel.is());

I got:

Would it be ok?
Comment 8 Franz 2018-09-05 22:03:44 UTC
problem keeps popping up with various releases and I think based on the code in
https://github.com/lsh123/xmlsec/blob/master/src/xmlsec.c
that generates the message that this is an installation problem.

Nertheless it has grave consequences for the user and it should be handled during start time as libreoffice will close upon any attempt to write a file (reading will work) and it closes without any message for those that did not start libreoffice via a shell or a command window in Windows.

Those starting libreoffice in a terminal get the above message, which is pointer in the right direction but does not really help solving the problem.
If the libxml library is required for saving anything, the presence of the right library should be checked during startup and a remedy should be suggested.

The simple remedy is to reinstall libreoffice including all depending packages, but that usually breaks some other installation (software) that introduced the problem. If the library is that important it should be included in the installation at least as a fall back (if checking the library in the path will lead to the error message explained, the program should try to recover and use the one in the installation directory and if everything fails it should print out a comprehensive error message).

kind regards
Franz Gotsis
Comment 9 Miklos Vajna 2018-09-06 07:10:33 UTC
I expect this has nothing to do with xmlsec. xmlsec changed the API on how you register IO callbacks, so we check for the version, and somewhat annoyingly you get an error line when the version check returns false, but that's all fine, we handle both positive and negative outcome of the version check.

Let's try this to avoid the crash at least:

Comment 13 Mark Hedges 2018-11-13 06:48:35 UTC
I have a problem in 6.1.3.2 on Windows 10, or something like it.  It has cost me a lot of time due to data loss.  (I work on some file X, then I open file Y that causes the crash, and I lose my work in X.)  I am pulling my hair out.  This is incredibly annoying.  I don't know how to build this on Windows so I don't know how to debug.  I can open the file fine in Ubuntu Linux Subsystem using 6.0.6.2.  I don't know what's going on.  I am at my wit's end here.

The only thing similar to this bug and 118373 is:

func=xmlSecCheckVersionExt:file=xmlsec.c:line=188:obj=unknown:subj=unknown:error=19:invalid version:mode=abi compatible;expected minor version=2;real minor version=2;expected subminor version=25;real subminor version=26

Am I seeing a different bug?  What do I do to diagnose?

Please submit a new bug.
Yours is unrelated to this one which is fixed.
