Description franco.violi 2013-08-27 17:30:10 UTC
Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Connect to a postgresql database
2. Define a simple report with a group section
3. Try do define a counter or a accumulation inside the group before and after section

In some cases, also the group detail is not working anymore.

Opening a report created by previous release it works, including details, count and accumulators.

Current behavior:

Expected behavior:

              
Operating System: Fedora
Version: 4.1.1.2 rc
Comment 1 Robert Großkopf 2013-08-27 20:25:14 UTC
Is this only a problem with Postgresql? If not it could be tested by everybody.

Is it the grouping, that didn't work in your system any more, or are the functions "counter" and "accumulation" destroyed?
Comment 2 franco.violi 2013-08-28 14:14:40 UTC
No. I think the problem is on the managing of the dialog boxes involved
into the definition of the grouping field. That's why a odb created with a
previous version (4.1.0) just work (if you have not to modify it).

Comment 3 Robert Großkopf 2013-08-28 16:00:19 UTC
I have tested it with the internal HSQLDB. Created a report, grouped it, set a counter in the Detail-section. Multiplicated two fields in the detail-section. 
In the group-footer:
Get the sum of the multiplicated fields by a user-defined function. Get the accumulation of one field.
Everything works well with LO 4.1.1.2 an OpenSUSE 12.3 64bit rpm.

You have written:
> "That's why a odb created with a

Could it be you created something with label-fields, which doesn't match the functionality. This had been broken since 4.1.0.0 beta2 and works right with 4.1.1.2

Comment 4 franco.violi 2013-08-28 18:41:34 UTC
I have never tried with the internal hsqldb, but only with postgresql. I
will try to rebuild the bug with a very simple table and I will post the
results.

Thanks.

Comment 5 franco.violi 2013-08-29 08:32:40 UTC
It seems that building a report from scratch the system is working, but I
can confirm the problem on my database, coming from an older version of
openoffice.

I'm trying to duplicate the problem changing the datasource. In this way I
can put the odb file as an attachment of the bug. Stand by until I will be
able to upload the file.

Bye.

Comment 8 franco.violi 2013-08-30 07:23:06 UTC
I have reproduced the problem, working on my original odb file. Now it get data from a Spreadsheet.

- open the db Ammin.odb
- change the source to AmminSrc.ods correct path
- try to modify Rapporto1 adding a function sum in the footer of the group wap_azienda1 (which is already defined with a working counter), using the add text field option
- On this field, try do sum esp-anno or something else numeric
- After the choice SUM the dialog boxes are reset and swith to user functions

BY the way, this is what my openoffice does.

I have tried to change from italian to english the interface, but i have the same behaviour.

What should be wrong with this behavior? LO creates a user-function, which builds a sum. I could see the same behavior in LO 3.3.4 and in LO 4.1.1.2.

attachment-21116-0.html

In a new database, selecting the sum field I see in the data property
Function, Table field, Sum, and context group. In the example I uploaded, I
just see a User Function and it's name. In effect it works, but when
opening a report for maintenance, the end user does not understand clearly
what is running on the field. Finally, if you play with the dialog, you see
that the functions are nested and the end-user is not able to manage the
definition.

In the first example, a report showing the data section correctly.

In the second, a nested data section.

In my opinion the exact behaviour odb has to use is the first.

Franco.

Comment 14 Robert Großkopf 2013-09-01 10:46:48 UTC
I must test a little bit. I can reproduce this behavior with the attached example, but I can't reproduce it with a *.odb-file I created by myself. There it looks always like https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=84999.
Comment 15 Alex Thurgood 2014-10-20 14:26:14 UTC
@Franco : have you tested with a recent 4322 production release to whether the problem is still present for you ?
Comment 16 Robert Großkopf 2014-10-20 14:56:00 UTC
Have tested it now with LO 4.3.3.1, OpenSUSE 64bit rpm Linux. If you use a function like "Sum" and in the datafield the created function is shown - not the data, which is used. Also isn't shown the function and the group, where the function is made for.

The function itself doesn't work. You couldn't find the created function in the report-navigator. Seems there is something else broken.

Will have a look where this appears the first time.
Comment 17 Robert Großkopf 2014-10-20 15:18:14 UTC
I have now tried it with many versions here. The functions defined as Data-field-type function doesn't work in any version of LO with an old database. There isn't created a function. There isn't shown the field for the function and the group, where it is defined for.

Tested with every main-version down to LO 3.3.4 - doesn't work. Will try  a little bit more later.
Comment 18 Robert Großkopf 2014-10-20 19:43:15 UTC
Now I tried with a new created database. Took different fields with Integer, SmallInteger and someone else. Put some content in the table and started the Report-Builder. With this database all will work with the same LO- and system-environment.Will try to remove all content of the not-working-database and then try it again.
Comment 19 Robert Großkopf 2014-10-22 19:48:00 UTC
Have now tried it with different files. Sometimes I could reproduce there isn't created any function. In one file I first couldn't create any function, then I deleted all Macros (deleted the Basic-Folder in the *.odb-file), renamed the database and then I could create the functions. But I could only define a accumulation shown in the right way as created by the report-builder, not user-defined with an accumulation of a Integer-value. In the same report a decimal-value will be accumulated, but a user-defined function will be created.

Seems to be a little bit tricky to find the relation between the different parts of the database and the handling of functions in the report-builder.

Functions in the report - Accumulation with some fields only user-defined

Open the report for editing.
Have a look at the different functions in the group-footer.
All functions had been created by the Report-Builder.
The functions of the fields on the right side look like user-defined functions.
Only the fieldname differs from the other functions.
If the fieldname has characters like "_" or "-" the function is created as user-defined function. Could be it is the same with many other special characters. I haven't tested more than this.

Changed the version to "Inherited From OOo", because the bug could be reproduced with LO 3.3.0beta1 also.

Dear franco.violi,

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!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
