Regular export fails randomly by not including any data except the headers.

  • When exporting tables, sometimes the export fails in an interesting way. The headers show up, but none of the actual data does.

    This appears to happen on different forms and different export formats depending on who is exporting what when. So far I have yet to see a pattern that sheds any light on why that might be occurring.

    Admittedly, we are using version 2.10.16 of the plugin instead of 2.10.17, but I checked the changelog and didn’t see any changes that related to this issue in any way, so I figured it may still be worth bringing to your attention.

    Also, for what it’s worth, using the advanced export menu seems to work more reliably from our preliminary testing, so this doesn’t seem absolutely game breaking.

    Additionally, we’re curious about the possibility of acquiring a custom version of this plugin, but this doesn’t seem like the best place to discuss that, so I’ve reached out to you on slack.

    The new version will not change this.

    I wonder if your server is running out of memory during the request. See https://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=251

    It seems pretty improbable that the server is running out of memory. There are only a handful of forms, and none of them have more than a dozen entries. Additionally, all forms show up perfectly with all data in the admin panel, it only fails when you go to export, but then it never happens with any consistency, some formats can succeed (like json) where others failed (like csv) I think if the problem were that the server was hitting its memory limit certain forms would succeed and others would fail, probably at even showing the data in the admin panel.

    Additionally, our php memory limit is currently set stupidly high, at like 250mb I think. So I should probably look into why that is, but suffice it to say that this doesn’t seem like the issue here.

    On the CFDB Options page, you can set a file to write error output to. I suggest to set that and see if you get any error messages.

    The exports use unbuffered queries to MySQL. I wonder if that is somehow a problem on your DB.
