Regular Sequence Dialog

[berylwaswa]

When I open the regular sequence dialog, on the right side it says no preview available so I cannot see a preview of the sequence I am creating. I need this fixed so that it's okay in the next release.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Go to 'Prepare>Column: Numeric>Regular Sequence'
2. Look at the right side of the dialog
3. See error

Expected behaviour I expect to see a preview on the right side of the dialog when I open it but there's none.

Screenshots

R script or commands

regular <- rep(x=seq(from=1, to=100, by=1), each=1, length.out=100) data_book$add_columns_to_data(data_name="data", col_name="regular", col_data=regular, before=FALSE)

rm(regular)

@berylwaswa which data did you use? I guess the one from File > New Data Frame x1 numeric from 1 to 100?

@N-thony that - with variables of length 100 is one example. But recently I have also not found an example where the preview works. I know there was a change, because earlier it gave the preview, even for long data frames and this was sometimes very slow. We now seem to have hit the other extreme! I just tried now with the survey data - so just 36 rows - and still don't get the preview.

Yes, it's the one I used, File > New Data Frame x1 numeric from 1 to 100.

Kind Regards, Beryl Waswa.

Okay, let me look at it

[berylwaswa]

It works fine now.

@berylwaswa I am keen that you become a good tester. I note you are happy now - and I was not! Once we are both happy it will be good for you to see if there are any general lessons in that process. Testers need to ask "What is a user did, or had this?" And for lots of examples of "this". I usually test by including contrasting data frames and also seeing what happens when you use a dialogue repeatedly - and possibly in a different way.

Well noted with thanks.
