Inventory Report is blank, host list contains hundreds of entries with full inventory

[Rivybeast]

Just for a test, I built a new server. I installed Ubuntu 18.04, updated and patched to the latest. I then installed and configured FOG 1.5.7.

I connected a sample laptop I have laying around, PXE booted and performed a quick registration and inventory. The laptop now shows up under Hosts. I can select the new host and click on Inventory and it shows all the information.

When I go to Reports and select Inventory Report, again there is a blank page. No data shows up.

I now firmly believe that either I’m doing something very wrong, or there is a bug in the reports.

Ahhhhhh, I might have misunderstood this over and over again. The term “blank page” is usually used when people get a complete white page in the browser and this indicates that usually a PHP error has happened. So we kept asking and looking for that error. Now that you phrase is this way “No data shows up” I can imagine you did not really mean a complete blank page but just no entries being shown, right?!?!

[Rivybeast]

Yep. I apologize. The entire page is not blank, just that it doesn’t show any data:

@Rivybeast I’ll take a look at this soon!

Moved this topic to bug reports as this is definitely something we messed up in the code when @Fernando-Gietz added the filter option to the reports.

@Rivybeast I am working on this and have pushed a first fix of the “Inventory Report”. If you are keen to give it a try you can simply download the latest file from github and put that into /var/www/html/fog/lib/reports/ on your FOG server (probably best to rename the existing file - e.g. to inventory_report.report.bak - so you can switch back to that easily just in case.

I’ll work on the other reports as well before I merge the whole lot back into dev-branch.

@Sebastian-Roth Yes replacing this file has fixed the issue.

I downloaded the updated inventory_report.report.php and now the Inventory Report works properly as far as I can tell. I was able to generate a .CSV file without issue. I will keep testing the report functionality as my inventory builds back up (I started a new database).

@Rivybeast @Raymond-Bell Thanks for testing and letting me know! I will work on fixing the other reports and merge this into dev-branch in the next weeks.
