Description Nuno Seixas 2019-08-29 11:57:54 UTC
Description:
I was trying to run a macro stored in a Base file like this:

soffice "C:\Users\nuno\AppData\Roaming\LineMap.odb" "macro://LineMap/Reports.Report.genRep"

However it doesn't work.

A friend have debugged, and in SfxMacroLoader::loadMacro, the call to SfxObjectShell::GetFirst() returns nullptr - it means that the open database isn't listed among open shells - and thus doesn't offer the expected functionality (unlike Writer or Calc components)


Steps to Reproduce:
1. soffice "C:\Users\nuno\AppData\Roaming\LineMap.odb" "macro://LineMap/Reports.Report.genRep"


Actual Results:
Open file but doesn't fire up the macro

Expected Results:
Fire up the macro


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

A DB with a macro

This contains a library Reports, module Report, macro genRep that only shows a "Test" messagebox.

Allowing to run macros, and trying

> soffice dbMacro.odb macro://dbMacro/Reports.Report.genRep

does not show the dialog when opening the DB. As mentioned, the DB doesn't have an associated shell in the list returned by SfxObjectShell::GetFirst called from SfxMacroLoader::loadMacro, thus not allowing to access its macros when dispatching the 'macro:' URI.

Tested this against 

OOO320m18 (build 9502)

macro isn't executed there either from the command line. However, it runs just fine when executed manually from via the Macros menu.

Dear Nuno Seixas,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
