Bug ID: 156162
Summary: Unhelpful error message when trying to install an
extension over an existing macro library
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.7.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Extensions
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When trying to install an extension, the error message "!link" appears if the
extension contains a macro library of the same name as one that already exists.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a BASIC macro library
2. Export that library as an extension
3. Install that extension
Actual Results:
An error message box appears that just says "!link", and the extension is
installed, but disabled
Expected Results:
Either it allows the extension to be enabled (perhaps checking if the existing
macro library is identical to the extension's library, and allowing it if so),
or it provides a human-understandable error message (such as "Extensions cannot
be installed over an existing macro library").
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
I got this error message when trying to follow this tutorial on the Libre
Office wiki:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Create_a_Hello_World_LibreOffice_extension
That tutorial's GitHub repo has several issues flagged up recently about the
same problem (so presumably this error didn't appear when the tutorial was
created in 2019):
