Bug ID: 106428
Summary: RFE: diagnose non-existent file earlier
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.4.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Base
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
The program could helpfully diagnose a reference to a non-existent firebird
database file as soon as the user enters the URL.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run soffice with parameter --base
2. In step 1 of database wizard, click "Connect to existing database" and in
the dropdown list select "Firebird File".
3. In step 2 of wizard, in datasource url, type a well-formed url for a
non-existent file. My example was
file:///home/terry/x/bug_10xxxx/bug_106427/thing.fdb
4. Continue and save the new .odb.
Actual Results:
>From step 2 of database wizard, the program proceeds happily.
Upon displaying the main database window, the program presents message (a line
split for readability):
The connection to the data source "thing" could not be established.
Error code: 1
firebird_sdbc error:
*I/O error during "open O_CREAT" operation for file
"/vista/Users/terry/lo_hacking/notes/bug_106247/thing.fdb"
*Error while trying to create file
*No such file or directory
caused by
'isc_create_database'
Expected Results:
It would be more helpful for the program to present the message in step two of
the database wizard.
Reproducible: Didn't try
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
There is a slightly obscure workaround available. Menu options Edit > Database
> Properties... allow correction (and immediate validation) of the URL.
