Screenshots

Relates to #11792, I've tried to repeat steps in this video, and got different results. My attempt.

Environment

• browser version: Google Chrome 98.0.4758.102

I'm using superset in container from this docker image:
docker pull apache/superset:993278d8ad2d9be90c5484e3cfe61936c22b850d

These commands were runned in the container:

• superset version: Superset 0.0.0dev
• python version: Python 3.8.12
• node.js version: (no executable found in $PATH in container)
• any feature flags active: PREVENT_UNSAFE_DB_CONNECTIONS = False

Checklist

Make sure to follow these steps before submitting your issue - thank you!

• I have checked the superset logs for python stacktraces and included it here as text if there are any.
• I have reproduced the issue with at least the latest released version of superset.
• I have checked the issue tracker for the same issue and I haven't found one similar.

@zhaoyongjie Have you tried to repeat case with birth_names chart, as in video?
I'm using last version from master and run it with docker compose, but have empty results again.
Btw, thanks a lot for quick response and fix!

Hey @alexamy, It works in my local environment(latest master branch). BTW, do you get Contribution mode selection change?

[alexamy]

Thanks, I needed to pull newest docker images before start. Now it's working as on your screenshot!

@alexamy @zhaoyongjie this is a bug from version 1.4.1 that will be resolved in the next release? I am facing the same issue and I don't even have the Contribution mode = Row option

[alexamy]

@jaimefr Hi! I'm using docker compose for local installation, installation guide: https://superset.apache.org/docs/installation/installing-superset-using-docker-compose/.
You need to pull latest docker images with command docker-compose -f docker-compose-non-dev.yml pull, if there is a new release, not just pulling the repository master branch.

I saw updated version of contibution mode after perfoming these steps.

@alexamy @zhaoyongjie I have upgraded to Superset 1.4.2 and this still doesn't work. Do you have if the fix has been excluded of the release?

Do you try the master branch? I think this issue has been fixed in the latest master but not been released yet.

@jaimefr @alexamy: @zhaoyongjie is right - the 1.4 branch is unfortunately so old that these recent PRs weren't possible to cherry into 1.4.2. Having said that 1.5.0 is currently in the works, and the first release candidate should be made available this week.

[jaimefr]

@villebro thanks, so we can expect this to be solved in 1.5
@zhaoyongjie no, we haven't tried, we only deploy official releases
