Description Aleisha Amohia 2016-02-04 01:43:31 UTC
If you leave either the Printer Name or Paper Bin field empty (ie only putting something in one of those fields and leaving the other empty) then you will get a software error upon clicking Save

Can't call method "save" without a package or object reference at /home/vagrant/kohaclone/patroncards/edit-profile.pl line 72.
Comment 1 Chris Nighswonger 2016-02-04 02:49:36 UTC
Granted the error trapping here and feedback to the user leaves much to be desired, however, the behavior is as expected. Looking here:

http://tinyurl.com/z3t845z

will show that what we do is run a parameter check when asked to create a new Profile object. If all required parameters are not passed in, rather than returning a new object, -1 is returned which causes the attempt to invoke the save method to fail.

Its old code, and I never go back to adding proper error trapping. It really should not return -1 in any case.

In light of that, this bug should probably be closed RESOLVED WORKSFORME and another opened which addresses error trapping in the labels/patroncards code in general.
