Description Alex Thurgood 2022-09-30 10:58:10 UTC

Description:
The macOS AppStore version of LibreOffice comes with Java functionality disabled.

As a result, there is currently no way to generate a database report.

A UI entry exists under "Reports" to create a report with a wizard, but this is non-functional, clicking on it does nothing (because the wizard requires execution of Java code).

Additionally, there is not even an entry to create a report manually.

This means that even with an embedded Firebird database, or a non-Java connected DB engine backend, it is impossible to generate a database report.



 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an embedded Firebird database
2. Click on the Reports button on the left hand side of the main Base window.
3. Notice that there is only 1 option - Create report using wizard
4. Click on this option - nothing happens.
5. No report can be created.

Actual Results:
No database reports can be created.

Expected Results:
It should be possible to create a database report from a non-Java connected DB, whether embedded Firebird, or another DB backend engine.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Another example (if needed) that without Java, Base is less user-friendly.

+1 for all OS

Yeah, it would not be limited to macOS AppStore version: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Under-loved_areas#Replace_Java_report_generator_code
LimeReport might work https://github.com/fralx/LimeReport

Dup of tdf#127278?
