Question: why maple dsolve sometimes does not solve ode as odeadvisor says?

Any idea why this sometimes happens? odeadvisor says ode is quadrature but when asking it to solve it using quadrature sometimes it works and sometimes not.

Am I doing something wrong?

Example 1 that does not work

 

ode:=diff(y(x),x)=-1;
DEtools:-odeadvisor(ode);

diff(y(x), x) = -1

[_quadrature]

sol:=dsolve(ode,y(x),['quadrature']);

"sol := "

Example 2 that works

 

ode:=diff(y(x),x)=x;
DEtools:-odeadvisor(ode);

diff(y(x), x) = x

[_quadrature]

sol:=dsolve(ode,y(x),['quadrature']);

y(x) = (1/2)*x^2+c__1
