Description: Creating a WebDAV remote file service with incorrect settings does not give any feedback indicating the connection failed. Steps to Reproduce: 1. File > Open Remote... 2. Manage services > Add service 3. Add a WebDAV service that does not exist by filling in all the necessary fields, click "OK" 4. Actual Results: Nothing happens, there is no message to say that LibreOffice failed to connect using the specified settings. Expected Results: A popup informs the user of the connection failing, and ideally provides the actual error with a helpful message. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: To connect to my NextCloud, I use the following settings: - Type: WebDAV - Host: nextcloud.instance.url (no HTTP(S) at the beginning) - Secure connection ticked (which changes the port to 443) - Label: label of your choice - Root: remote.php/dav/files/USERNAME/ You can try using the exact same text as above to test with settings that won't connect you to anything.
LibreOffice could also give visual feedback letting the user know it is trying to connect, before showing the error message.

Dear Stéphane Guillou (stragu), 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 Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!
