Created attachment 95494 [details]
password protected library containing a macro with end user type definition

occurs since at least LO 3.5.4

open the attached sample file, accept macro, click the Test me button
--> an error occurs

goto manage libraries, remove the password of MyLibrary of the sample file (the password is 'password')
click the testMe button
--> no more error, the print statement is ok

Confirmed with 4.2.2.1 set as New - Sophie

Is it a bug or enhancement ? no idea but for sure this doesn't work, first I thought this was actually a code bug with the buffer transformation work that was done for increasing module code size capacity ( see PCodeBuffConvertor etc. )
So.. the bad news is that either by oversight or design actually the case here is actually as the bug title suggests e.g. that user types are not supported for password protected Libraries. The missing part is that the user types (actually the names) need to be somehow stored to the binary image format ( and of course reconstructed etc. on load )

On a more positive note it shouldn't really be too hard to add support for this. On thing that is needed is a new version for the binary format of basic image so that this new feature can be cleanly supported. Luckily we already have a new version ( that was created for natively saving the new image binary format (for supporting bigger modules) and we currently don't write the new image version anywhere ( although all the code to support it is in place ) Why don't we ? the  reason is simple oversight, the new binary image format needed to be introduced on a office version bump ( which at the the work was done for that feature was in the future ) probably the whole openoffice/libreoffice split had something to do with this ( or perhaps it was forgotten about independantly ) but... in anycase we do have support for a new image version already in place in the current libreoffice ( and older libreoffice ) versions. It should be easy to introduce the new image version (with additional support for user defined types) at the same time. I will look into it and at the very least try and put some code pointers here (and/or maybe even a patch)

easy :-)) well that of course assumes that one can find a way to easily persist the user types (or the information to rebuild the usertypes)

Dear Laurent Godard,

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
