I'm not quite clear how a report can't have any columns, what's the name of the report you're trying to view? Is this a custom report?

OK, I got 2.5.2 installed to test this myself. As reported, the timesheet report has no columns:

task _show | grep report.timesheet
report.timesheet.filter=(+PENDING and start.after:now-4wks) or (+COMPLETED and end.after:now-4wks)

However, I'm unclear if this is a bug in the development version of TaskWarrior, or some new kind of approach to a report that allows zero columns. I can't really fix this issue until I confirm with the TaskWarrior maintainer what's going on there.

Thank you for investigating! Sorry for not responding sooner, apparently missed your message? :(

I'm also unsure how to best handle this, but FWIW it does appear to be limited to the timesheet "report". Even so, waiting until there's a clearer picture of things sounds like the way to go. In the meantime perhaps the PR will help lost taskwarrior users ("taskwarriors"? 😁) encountering this also. Thanks again.

After talking with the TaskWarrior maintainers, I decided to take a different approach to fix this issue.

See the commit message in bf4cb06 for a full explanation.

Can a new version be published to fix this?

Doesn't warrant a point release, as the fix addresses features in an unreleased version of TaskWarrior.

You're welcome to run a development version of VIT should you wish to have access to the fix.

taskwarrior 2.5.2 has now been released and the bug persists

@YAMLcase the bug was fixed in bf4cb06

VIT will probably get a point release in the near future, until then you can run the development version, which is compatible with TaskWarrior 2.5.2: https://github.com/vit-project/vit/blob/2.x/DEVELOPMENT.md

Thank you. I can confirm the 2.X branch has the fix and runs fine under python 3.8 on Ubuntu 20.08.
