Bug ID: 173129
Summary: Error in file capitalise.py
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 26.8.0.0 alpha0+ master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Error in the `capitalise.py` example file i in LibreOffice (26.8).
Also in older versions of LibreOffice and OpenOffice
The macro crashes if there is a multiple selection. I admit I didn't quite
understand why.
In the code, we find:
Code :
---------------------
xModel = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDocument() # NOQA
xSelectionSupplier = xModel.getCurrentController()
xIndexAccess = xSelectionSupplier.getSelection()
count = xIndexAccess.getCount()
if count >= 1: # ie we have a selection
i = 0
while i < count:
xTextRange = xIndexAccess.getByIndex(i)
theString = xTextRange.getString()
if len(theString)==0 # This is where the ambiguity lies.
-----------------
This works well with a single selection or no selection, but not with multiple
selections, because it is impossible to tell why the string is empty: is it the
first item in a list, or is there no selection?
Indeed, following these instructions, if there is no selection, the macro
selects the word under the cursor and applies the capitalization to it.
In the case of multiple selections, expanding the selection to the word at the
cursor disrupts the rest of the macro.
Therefore, simply replace the ambiguous line with:
---------------------------------
if len(theString)==0 and count == 1: # no sélection
---------------------------------
It gives a bad impression of Python programming with LibreOffice.
