Description philippe kloos 2013-10-27 20:32:58 UTC
Hi,

At our library we use Koha with the Unimarc format, in french.
Since we switched to koha 3.10 we are no longer able to create guided reports : it fails after the second step with message "Unsuported report area "types" at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Reports/Guided.pm line 213".

I googled around and found out that the same happens with the spanish version :

I tried with the english interface and it worked.

Hi Michel, can you give us the exact version you are using? You can find it on the About page of your installation.
I think this might be a bug, that has been fixed, but it's easier to check when we have more information.

I'm using koha version 3.10.11, perl version 5.14 on a debian wheezy system.

Hi Michel,

I have tested this with German and it works for me, I can create Guided reports without problems. I think it might be a problem with the French translation files in 3.10.11 as they won't install correctly for me. 

To check if the bug is fixed in later versions I also tried 3.10.12. French templates install without errors in this version and crating guided reports worked nice. I am closing this bug, please reopen if I missed something.

Hi,

We couldn't test koha version 3.10.12, since it is not in the repository any more ; but testing version 3.12.07 gives the same error when genrating guided reports :

Software error:

Unsuported report area "types" at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Reports/Guided.pm line 215.

Thanks for your help.

I have tried generating guided reports in 3.12.x using both French and German templates and have not encountered an error. Please post a detailed description of the steps to reproduce your error.

is that ok if i send you a database via mail ?
Comment 7 Katrin Fischer 2014-01-04 10:31:31 UTC
I think it's unlikely that it's something in your configuration or data cuasing this. Could you give a step by step? Maybe it's something in the translations causing this. Could you check it also happens for you when using another language (maybe German)?

Here are the steps to get the error :

From the "Plus" menu, choose "Bilans et statistiques"
Then choose "assistant de rapports", then "construire nouveau".
Etape 1/6 : choose "Circulation" then "suivant"
Etape 2/6 : choose "Tabulaire" then "suivant"
and here i get "software error..."

Using the german language works fine.
Using koha 3.14 in french also produces the error.

On the other hand, if i try to generate a SQL report nothing happens.
Steps :
From the "Assistant de rapports" page, click "créer à partir de SQL".
Fill in "nom de rapport" and "notes" with "testFR"
Leave "type" as "tabulaire"
Paste a sql report (i pasted the report previously generated with the german interface :
SELECT  borrowers.borrowernumber,biblioitems.biblioitemnumber FROM borrowers LEFT JOIN statistics on (statistics.borrowernumber=borrowers.borrowernumber) LEFT JOIN items on (items.itemnumber = statistics.itemnumber) LEFT JOIN biblioitems on (biblioitems.biblioitemnumber = items.biblioitemnumber) 

)
Click "enregistrer rapport"

You get the message "votre rapport a été sauvegardé" ("your report was saved").

Click "rapports sauvegardés"

-->> you get the table with the saved reports, but the report you have just created does not appear.

Hi,

i solved the problem by upgrading to koha 3.14 and rerunning the translation process with the command

  perl translate install fr-FR

i already used this fix to solve problems when upgrading -- but i'm not sure which problems, maybe the "search by keyword" not working anymore.

Maybe reruning the translation(s) automatically when updating could be put in the wish list ?

I think 10942 would help with your wish :)
Comment 11 Katrin Fischer 2014-11-29 08:59:59 UTC
we run translations now automatically on update for package installations.
