some open ended questions are just empty #18

Closed daniel-ratz closed 2 years ago

daniel-ratz commented 2 years ago

Hi, first of all, thanks for your amazing library, it helps me a lot for my bachelors thesis. But i noticed one problem: some questions dont work with the write_open_ended function. The question itself gets written but without answers. As of right now i cannot figure out why that happens, but i'll take a look. If i print the corresponding df everything looks fine and not different from questions that gets written properly.

Any ideas?

Ok, i found something, it seems like the column indices arent detected properly if self.metadata['other'] is true. if i just hardcode the indice everything works fine. But that doesnt tell me why some questions are working, and some are not. But at least i can continue now.

Hi Daniel, thanks for your feedback! What question type did you get this problem with?

Hi Daniel, thanks for your feedback! What question type did you get this problem with?

Short free text.

it seems like its really the missing index, if i print the corresponding column_ indice its just empty. is this a problem with my .csv/.lss or limepy? i could send you a stripped but bugged dataset in private.

for example: question1: [10] question2: [12] question3: [] question4: []

question3 & question4 wouldnt have any answers written into the .md file

I didn’t get the same problem with this question type. Perhaps it’s something to do with the version of Limesurvey; what version are you using?

daniel-ratz commented 2 years ago

im using version Version 5.2.4+211129. i also dont have problems with every "short free text" question, just some questions, but always the same.

out of 10 questions, 2 dont work.

I find it intriguing that this happens with some questions, but not others. I suspect this may have something to do with the .lss file. Do you think you could share that file, here or via feedback@dirkmjk.nl?
