Description

Hello,

If I have a Project with a Macro as shown below, and I set Settings->Options->Enable Macros to "Ask", the openProject macro will never load. If I set Enable Macros to Always, or only for this session, it will load.

In Ask mode:

I open the Project.
I get the security warning in the canvas view.
I click "Enable Macros"
The security warning disappears
The Project loads without the "Hello I am a Macro" Status bar.

In Always or Only this session:

I open the Project
I see the "Hello I am a Macro" Status bar.

If I run the code as a saveProject macro, then the saveProject macro will work for the Ask Setting. So, the Problem is just with openProject.

def openProject():
    from qgis.utils import iface
    from qgis.gui import QgsMessageBar
    iface.messageBar().pushMessage("Hello I am a Macro", "", level=QgsMessageBar.INFO)

def saveProject():
    pass

def closeProject():
    pass

This is the case for QGIS 2.0.1 as well as today's dev Version Qgis 2.1.0 f06e72e, on Windows as well as on Ubuntu.

Reopening this bug, because there is a regression in 2.18.10

Same behavior as stated. The macro does not run if enabled after asking the user.

Tested on Windows 7, 64bit.

Andreas - is this a new issue? Or are you reopening because you want a fix in 2.18?

#11 Updated by Andreas Neumann almost 7 years ago

Hi Nyall,

I think a fix for 2.18 would be useful. 2.18 will be around for at least 2 years until people have all their favourite plugins ported to 3.x - so it makes sense to still provide 2.18 fixes for at least another year.

Apparently this issue (or a very similar issue) was fixed by you 8 months ago. I don't know what happened in between and why it doesn't work anymore). The workaround to always enable project macros is a bad security practice.

Thanks,
Andreas

My fix was only for the 3.0 branch - it relies on a feature not available in the Qt4 builds. It'd need to be reworked to be backportable.

Should we close this now, as QGIS 2.18 has reached its end of life?
