Hmmmm...  Works for me on openSuse -

I'd better look at Ubuntu, but what version of Ubuntu are you?

??

I did the above on openSUSE 11.4 and build things using RelWithDebInfo

OK, but the email version I got shows -

" Platform: Ubuntu Packages
            ------
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: crash

I'm openSuse 11.4 with RelWithDebInfo too.  I've just tried with German locale and it still works for me.

aga@eve2:~/bin/kmymoney> uname -a
Linux eve2 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2011-02-21 10:34:10 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Are you 32 or 64 bit? (grasping at straws)

I use KGlobal::locale()->decimalSymbol() in several places in the plugin, partly why I implemented those unittests.  You may remember a week or two ago, I queried the support for no decimal places, and you responded that the qifimporter didn't support that?  Well, because the plugin can be used to produce qif files, I now test for absence of decimals, and if none found, add them with the locale decimal separator.

To help in closing in on the issue, am I right in thinking that you have run only the tests, and have not 'used' the plugin itself, so this is the only point where you encounter the problem?

I've made an assumption that the local decimal separator is pretty fundamental and is bound to be present, but it seems that perhaps that is not a good idea.

As I can't reproduce the problem here, might it help to test whether having a KGlobal::locale()->decimalSymbol().isEmpty() test?  Can you do that, or should I implement it anyway and produce a patch, which I have no means of testing?

I am on pretty much the same machinery here:

Linux thb-nb 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2011-02-21 10:34:10 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The problem is not that I don't have decimal but that KGlobal::locale() returns 0 and thus using it as a pointer in e.g. KGlobal::locale()->decimalSymbol() crashes.

Yes, I have only run the testcases as part of a general procedure here (which means run them now and then after an svn update).

I tried to encapsulate the parts that won't work in the ctor of the test class in a check that verifies the above mentioned pointer, but then I simply see a crash later on. I have to figure out why the pointer is 0 in my case and not in yours. Maybe some leftovers from upgrading. Next thing I will clean out the whole build.

The clean rebuild solved the problem. Sorry for the noise.

Whewwww..  That's a relief!
