QueryReadStore/DojoData/Grid grabs all rows if formatter does not return

[guest]

I have a Grid hooked to a QueryReadStore? through DojoData?. I have a simple formatter:

dkp.eventTypeFormat=function(value,rowIndex){
	if(value==0){
		return "Joined Raid";
	}
	if(value==1){
		return "Left Raid";
	}
	console.debug("Unknown value/index",value,rowIndex);
	return "Unknown Event";
}

Originally I did not have the default "Unknown Event" return. Without it, the Grid pulled in ALL the rows through the QueryReadStore? instead of paging. After adding this statement I see:

As the grid boots up. So there are two issues here:

1. Why is the formatter being called with bad values (?, and '...')

Formatters should not be called when the data is being loaded and cells contain '...'

2. If a formatter doesn't return and the return is undefined, it should not break paging and pull in all the rows.

Unfortunately, I was unable to isolate a demonstration. If you need more information email me.

Formatter issues are grid issues, not datastore issues. Datastores know nothing about grid and how the formatter code works.

Could you post a test case? Also, have you tried the new DataGrid? in trunk? This may solve some of your issues.

(In [14544]) fixes #6569 !strict

• Use the defaultValue of a cell if the formatter doesn't return.

#1 is no longer an issue with trunk. Fixed #2.
