Version 18.3 breaks exporting grouped grid

[Bill Naples]

Exporting a grouped grid in version 18.3 to csv, excel or pdf all throw exceptions.

Here's sandbox example:   https://codesandbox.io/s/syncfusion-grid-export-x2lcf?file=/src/components/Grid.vue

The last version that export works is 18.2.59.

Also captionTemplate in groupSettings doesn't work either even for display. I haven't created a sandbox example of that yet. But clearly 18.3 breaks some vital grid grouping features.

At a higher level, what sort of automated testing do you do to prevent these sort of regressions in new releases?

Thanks Ajith. I just noticed that if you remove the footerTemplate/groupFooterTemplate, then it works. So it seems the regression is related to that.

Hi Bill. 

 

Thanks for the update. 

 

Query: I just noticed that if you remove the footerTemplate/groupFooterTemplate, then it works. So it seems the regression is related to that. 

 

We have validated the reported issue at our end and found that the issue occurs only because of the footer or groupfooter templates. So, we will include the defect fix in our upcoming  weekly release which is expected to be rolled out on 11th November, 2020. 

 

Until then we appreciate your patience. 

 

Regards,
