Description Jeff 2018-07-07 20:56:21 UTC
I have a couple of problems with ofxpartner.cpp on a craft-mingw-Qt5.11-windows build.

First, the "get" function of the OfxHttpRequest constructor does not work. Maybe because KIO::copy does not work on Windows. Maybe KIO::copy doesn't work because of QUrl problems on Windows (see problem #2, below). Or maybe this has been overlooked because if you have an old ofx-bank-index.xml file laying around, KMM will use that file even if it fails to fetch a new one.

I hacked around that issue by just commenting out the "if(type.toLower() == QStringLiteral("get"))" section around ofxpartner.cpp line 297 and always using the "post" code. A full fix would just remove the "type" parameter from that function (it was unused in KMM4).

I have not been able to figure out a "clean" solution to the second problem. It has to do with QUrl paths. I can not find a combination of QUrl, QFile, QDir, QFileInfo calls that will construct a file name that succeeds with QFile::open in the slotOfxConnected() method. Even though QUrl.isLocalFile() returns "true", the file path either does not include the drive letter, e.g. "/users/jeff/ofx-bank-index.xml", or includes the drive letter looking like a network name, e.g. "//c/users/jeff/ofx-bank-index.xml". QFile fails to open either of those. This may only be a problem because my KMM program is on D: and my app folder is on C:. If they were on the same drive, maybe the "/users/jeff" path would work.

If I just hack in a string replacement to change the "//c/" to "c:/" to pass to QFile::open(), then KMM will fetch a new ofx-bank-index.xml and everything's good from there (assuming the "get" fix is in). 

The "static QString directory" member variable is correctly "C:/users/jeff" at the troublesome spot. It just gets lost in the QUrl.

I did some digging into this issue and found that when I got to "http://www.ofxhome.com/api.php" or "http://www.ofxhome.com/api.php?all=yes" I get a blank screen instead of results.

However if I go to "http://www.ofxhome.com/api.php?dump=yes" I do get an XML result back.

Therefore the answer might be as easy as changing the URL from "http://www.ofxhome.com/api.php?all=yes" to "http://www.ofxhome.com/api.php?dump=yes".

citapinc: take your browser and load the 'empty' page from "http://www.ofxhome.com/api.php?all=yes". Then direct your browser to show you the source code of the page and you will notice, that it not empty at all.

Thank you Thomas for addressing this issue.

I went to the nightly build, downloaded the Windows .EXE for 5.0.9 and installed it.  However the nightly build doesn't include kbanking or ofximporter.

Where can I go to download the latest Windows compiled version that includes the new ofximporter so I can beta test it for you?
