Description Lucas Gass 2020-12-18 17:27:21 UTC
In more recent version of Chrome if you go to /cgi-bin/koha/virtualshelves/shelves.pl and attempt to 'Print list' the dialog pops up and immediately closes. 

We fixed this problem in the OPAC with Bug 24061, the same fix is needed in the staff client on shelves.pl

Read Bug 24061 for much of the details.

I don't recreate, but it works before and after and this makes code consistent
Comment 5 Jonathan Druart 2021-01-04 13:06:18 UTC
There are two other occurrences, should not we fix them as well?

koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/prog/en/includes/slip-print.inc:        setTimeout('window.close()', 1);

koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/includes/slip-print.inc:        setTimeout('window.close()', 1);

Yes, I think we should fix it everywhere for consistency.

TO TEST:
-set up a new list with a few items
-go to /cgi-bin/koha/virtualshelves/shelves.pl and view that list.
-Click 'Print List' in Chrome.
-The tab opens but immediately closes itself.
-Apply patch and clear cache
-Try again, the print dialouge remains open

-Go to cgi-bin/koha/sco/sco-main.pl in Chrome, make sure you can finish and print successfully
-In the staff client in Chrome makes sure printing works in the following areas:
    1. /cgi-bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl Print Slip and Print Quick Slip
    2. /cgi-bin/koha/members/boraccount.pl Make a payment and make sure you can print the invoice
    3. cgi-bin/koha/labels/spinelabel-home.pl Make a quick spine label in Chrome and make sure that prints.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome_version_history, Chrome 78 has been discontinued. Versions 87 and 88 are stable. 

(I've actually been playing with Chromium 90 lately too as Playwright uses it but that's a dev build. Puppeteer uses Chromium 88.)

I reckon it should be safe to target only stable versions?

> I reckon it should be safe to target only stable versions?

In Bug 24061 we fixed this for the OPAC. For consistency sake shouldn't we add this fix everywhere?
