fix(csv): respect CSV_EXPORT config for decimal separator and delimiter#38170
Conversation
This commit fixes GitHub issue #32371 where the CSV_EXPORT configuration (specifically the `decimal` and `sep` parameters) was not being applied correctly in certain CSV export scenarios. The issue had two parts: 1. Custom decimal separator (e.g., `decimal: ","`) was ignored in exports 2. Pivoted CSV exports triggered errors when using custom CSV_EXPORT settings Changes: - superset/charts/client_processing.py: Pass CSV_EXPORT config to to_csv() when exporting processed (pivoted) CSV data in apply_client_processing() - superset/commands/streaming_export/base.py: Add support for CSV_EXPORT config in streaming exports by: - Using the `sep` parameter as the CSV delimiter - Formatting float values with the custom `decimal` separator The fix ensures that CSV exports consistently respect the CSV_EXPORT configuration across all export paths (regular, pivoted, and streaming).

Sequence DiagramThis PR ensures CSV_EXPORT settings (sep and decimal) are applied for both client-side (pivot/processed) CSV generation and server-side streaming exports. The diagram shows the two main success paths where the app config is read and applied to produce correctly formatted CSV output. sequenceDiagram

Suggestion: The decimal separator configuration is only applied to values of type float, so if the database driver returns numeric columns as other numeric types like decimal.Decimal (which is common for NUMERIC/DECIMAL columns), those values will bypass _format_row_values and still use a dot as decimal separator, causing streaming CSV exports to ignore the configured decimal separator for many numeric columns; broaden the type check to cover generic numeric types so all numeric values respect the decimal setting. [logic error]
Severity Level: Major ⚠️
- ❌ Streaming CSV from SQL Lab misformats DECIMAL numeric columns.
- ❌ Chart data streaming export misformats DECIMAL metrics with comma.
- ⚠️ Locale-specific tools misparse numbers due to dot decimal.

| from numbers import Real | |
| formatted: list[Any] = [] | |
| for value in row: | |
| if isinstance(value, Real): | |
| # Format numeric values with custom decimal separator |
Steps of Reproduction ✅
1. Configure Superset to use a custom decimal separator by setting `CSV_EXPORT =
{"encoding": "utf-8", "sep": ";", "decimal": ","}` in `superset_config.py` (this
configuration is read in `superset/commands/streaming_export/base.py:195-197` when
`_execute_query_and_stream()` obtains `decimal_separator`).
2. In a supported database where SQLAlchemy maps NUMERIC/DECIMAL columns to
`decimal.Decimal` (standard behavior for many engines), create or use a table with a
DECIMAL/NUMERIC column and insert a value like `1234.56`; query it either via a chart or
SQL Lab so that Superset executes a SELECT returning that DECIMAL column.
3. Trigger a streaming CSV export for that query: for charts, the export path uses
`StreamingCSVExportCommand` from
`superset/commands/chart/data/streaming_export_command.py:29` which subclasses
`BaseStreamingCSVExportCommand`; for SQL Lab, the API in `superset/sqllab/api.py:405`
constructs `StreamingSqlResultExportCommand(client_id, chunk_size)` (per Grep output)
which also subclasses `BaseStreamingCSVExportCommand`.
4. During the export, `BaseStreamingCSVExportCommand._execute_query_and_stream()` in
`superset/commands/streaming_export/base.py:187-243` streams rows; each batch is processed
by `_process_rows()` at lines 135-185, which calls `_format_row_values(row,
decimal_separator)` at lines 164-165 with `decimal_separator=","`. Because the current
implementation at lines 110-133 only checks `isinstance(value, float)`, any
`decimal.Decimal` values in the row are treated as non-floats and appended unchanged, so
`csv.writer` writes strings like `"1234.56"` with a dot instead of `"1234,56"`, ignoring
the configured decimal separator for these numeric columns.Prompt for AI Agent 🤖

Suggestion: The regression test for custom CSV separator and decimal allows both comma and dot decimals, so it will still pass even if the CSV_EXPORT decimal setting is ignored, failing to detect regressions in numeric formatting. [logic error]
Severity Level: Major ⚠️
- ⚠️ Unit test for CSV decimal formatting may silently pass.
- ⚠️ Table CSV exports with custom decimal can regress unnoticed.

Steps of Reproduction ✅
1. Open `test_apply_client_processing_csv_format_custom_separator()` in
`tests/unit_tests/charts/test_client_processing.py:2793-2827` (added in this PR) which
uses `@with_config({"CSV_EXPORT": {"sep": ";", "decimal": ","}})` and calls
`apply_client_processing()`.
2. Note that `apply_client_processing()` in `superset/charts/client_processing.py:312-398`
formats CSV exports via `processed_df.to_csv(...)` using `csv_export_config =
current_app.config.get("CSV_EXPORT", {})` at lines 391-395.
3. Introduce a regression by editing `processed_df.to_csv(buf, index=show_default_index,
**csv_export_config)` at `superset/charts/client_processing.py:393-394` so that it no
longer passes the `decimal` option (e.g., only passes `sep`), causing numeric values in
the exported table CSV to retain a `.` decimal separator.
4. Run `pytest
tests/unit_tests/charts/test_client_processing.py::test_apply_client_processing_csv_format_custom_separator`;
observe the test still passes because the assertions at
`tests/unit_tests/charts/test_client_processing.py:2832-2836` accept both `"Alice;1,5"`
and `"Alice;1.5"` (and likewise for Bob), so the regression in honoring
`CSV_EXPORT["decimal"]` is not detected.Prompt for AI Agent 🤖

Suggestion: The pivot-table CSV regression test only asserts that the output contains either a semicolon or comma, which will usually be true regardless of whether the CSV_EXPORT separator/decimal configuration is honored, so it does not actually verify the intended behavior. [logic error]
Severity Level: Major ⚠️
- ⚠️ Pivot-table CSV regression test barely checks separator behavior.
- ⚠️ Pivot CSV_EXPORT settings regressions could slip into production.

Steps of Reproduction ✅
1. Open `test_apply_client_processing_csv_pivot_table_custom_separator()` in
`tests/unit_tests/charts/test_client_processing.py:2839-2889`, which sets `CSV_EXPORT =
{"sep": ";", "decimal": ","}` and calls `apply_client_processing()` with
`viz_type="pivot_table_v2"` and `result_format="csv"`.
2. Inspect `apply_client_processing()` in `superset/charts/client_processing.py:312-398`,
where pivoted CSV results are produced by `pivot_table_v2()` and written via
`processed_df.to_csv(buf, index=show_default_index, **csv_export_config)` at lines 391-395
using the `CSV_EXPORT` configuration.
3. Introduce a regression by modifying the `to_csv` call in `apply_client_processing()`
(lines 391-395) so that it ignores `CSV_EXPORT` (e.g., remove `**csv_export_config` or
hard-code default `sep=","`, `decimal="."`), causing the pivoted CSV to use default
separators and decimals.
4. Run `pytest
tests/unit_tests/charts/test_client_processing.py::test_apply_client_processing_csv_pivot_table_custom_separator`;
observe that the test still passes, because the only assertion at
`tests/unit_tests/charts/test_client_processing.py:2883-2889` merely checks that the
output string contains either `";"` or `","`, which is true for any CSV output regardless
of whether `CSV_EXPORT` was honored.Prompt for AI Agent 🤖
