In a goal report, the "Goals by Referrers > Referrer Type" report fails to load.

Reproduce URL: https://demo.piwik.org/index.php?module=CoreHome&action=index&idSite=7&period=day&date=yesterday#?module=Goals&action=goalReport&idSite=7&period=day&date=yesterday&idGoal=2

In Goals by Referrers > Referrer Type, we get The DataTable cannot be manipulated: Metadata for report Referrers.getReferrerType could not be found. You can define the metadata in a hook, see example at: http://developer.piwik.org/api-reference/events#apigetreportmetadata

Notes:

  • Why it was not caught in the UI tests?
  • Let's add UI test if there isn't one already

If it's not caused by tests it's likely because of another plugin... I'll have a look

So it works on my local instance. Must be caused by another plugin!

do you know if it would be possible to write in error message which plugin causes this issue?

Nope, not even sure how to detect such thing or how it is happening

Which custom plugins are active there?

FYI: It works on demo2, so it might be a plugin or something that is active on demo but not demo2

It might be fixed by removing lines https://github.com/piwik/piwik/blob/master/core/API/DataTableManipulator.php#L159-L161 but then at the same time I have no idea why it works for other reports...

Actually this shouldn't make a difference and it's not the problem

(note: the "reproduce URL" I initially pasted now is working fine..)

Maybe it's because some non-default datatable visualization setting?

Ok. I'm able to reproduce it with the following steps:

  1. Got to Referrers > All Referrers
  2. Flatten the Referrer Type Report
  3. Go to a Goal report page and the referrer type report will show the above mentioned error

Switching back to non-flattened all referrers report solves the problem on the goal report.

Note: Metadata is not found as idGoal is set as parameter for the report, but there is no metadata for referrer reports based in idGoal
