A bug in lino.modlib.export_excel

A last thing to do for docs/tickets/123:

  • “Unexpected data type <class ‘xml.etree.ElementTree.Element’>” bei Export Excel einer Tabelle mit virtuellen Feldern.

Instead of just fixing it, I rather feel like first writing a test case to reproduce it. But where? Maybe using lino.projects.min1? No, this application has no virtual fields.

Fixed a docstring in lino_xl.lib.cal.utils which caused a test failure.

Maybe using lino.projects.min2? Added more library modules (addresses, sepa, humanlinks, households) to min2 in the hope to find a situation where our problem occurs. Nope.

I then discovered that I even cannot reproduce it in Renamed “Lino Faggio” to “Lino Voga” anymore. The problem has vanished. But in Renamed “Lino Faggio” to “Lino Voga” I found and fixed another little bug:

In lino.modlib.export_excel, added a function sheet_name which removes more invalid characters from the title. For example slashes (“/”) are not allowed.

Worked on Lino Presto
