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: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: abree...@iquantumdg.com 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): https://github.com/luane-aquino/helloworld-libreoffice-extension/issues Help > About LibreOffice: Version: 7.5.4.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 36ccfdc35048b057fd9854c757a8b67ec53977b6 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI: en-GB Calc: threaded -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
