Description
Enable "atlas generation" in a new print composer
Erase the content of fileName expression
And launch atlas export to image (or anything else).
Remark that I haven't selected a coverage layer.
Then you get a message "Unable to evaluate the filename pattern. "Could not set filename pattern as ''. Parser error: '' "
I had to close this dialog more than 200 times before it really gets closed. If I wasn't that patient I would have made QGIS crash my project the first time I got it. Don't find why this number though.
I think there may be a check done on layer coverage value before trying to parse fileNamePattern.

In 3.1 the check is done and user is warned multiple times that the filename requires his attention and without a change, a default name is used.
There's however an issue with the missing coverage layer that i report in #18253.
