LibreOffice helpers not working

[steelstrings]

Installation and version

How did you install Parlatype?

• ArchLinux AUR tarball
  https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/parlatype/
  parlatype --version 1.5.6
  I changed the configure line in the PKGBUILD to enable LibreOffice helpers
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-libreoffice --disable-introspection --disable-tests

Your desktop environment

• Distro: Manjaro Linux
• WM: i3
• LibreOffice: v6.0.6.2

Issue

• LibreOffice helpers don't work / produce an error
• I never tried previous versions of Parlatype
• Steps to reproduce:
  I made a toolbar for all Parlatype LibreOffice Macros, if I click on the PlayPause button an error window pops up

com.sun.star.uno.RuntimeException: Error during invoking function PlayPause in module file:///usr/lib/libreoffice/share/Scripts/python/Parlatype.py (<class 'TypeError'>: PlayPause() takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given
  File "/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/pythonscript.py", line 875, in invoke
    ret = self.func( *args )
)

• Keyboard shortcuts don't work either and they don't show any error message.
• Every macro gives a similar error, only the function changes accordingly.

Thank you for the detailed bug report! I repeated your steps and I have to confirm that it's not working with buttons. I always used keyboard shortcuts and was not aware that with buttons obviously something has to be done in a different way.

I can't confirm however that keyboard shortcuts are not working. Could you please try this part again? In the help pages you'll find instructions, please do it as described there: https://gkarsay.github.io/parlatype/help-online/libreoffice-helpers.html

I just found out that it's possible to close the dialog (2nd screenshot in link above) without clicking on "OK". You have to assign a shortcut to a function AND you have to click on OK! Parlatype has to be open with a file opened.

The referenced commit has fixed the issue with buttons. Please reopen it, if you still have some issues with it. You can download the fixed libreoffice macros here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gkarsay/parlatype/master/libreoffice/Parlatype.py and save them at /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/Scripts/python/Parlatype.py
