Add a test that exposes a bug in config_write.
It is valid to have multiple separate headers for the same config section, but
config_write will exit after finding the first matching section in certain
situations.
This test proves that config_write will duplicate a variable that already
exists instead of overwriting it if the variable is defined under a duplicate
section header.
Previously we would try to be clever when writing the configuration
file and try to stop parsing (and simply copy the rest of the old
file) when we either found the value we were trying to write,
or when we left the section that value was in, the assumption being
that there was no more work to do.
Regrettably, you can have another section with the same name later
in the file, and we must cope with that gracefully, thus we read the
whole file in order to write a new file.
Now, writing a file looks even more than reading. Pull the config
parsing out into its own function that can be used by both reading
and writing the configuration.
Add a unittest to validate bug #3043, where a duplicate empty config header
could cause deletion of a config entry to fail silently. The bug is currently
unresolved and this test will fail.
The regcomp function returns a non-zero value if compilation of
a regular expression fails. In most places we only check for
negative values, but positive values indicate an error, as well.
Fix this tree-wide, fixing a segmentation fault when calling
git_config_iterator_glob_new with an invalid regexp.
This changes the get_entry() method to return a refcounted version of
the config entry, which you have to free when you're done.
This allows us to avoid freeing the memory in which the entry is stored
on a refresh, which may happen at any time for a live config.
For this reason, get_string() has been forbidden on live configs and a
new function get_string_buf() has been added, which stores the string in
a git_buf which the user then owns.
The functions which parse the string value takea advantage of the
borrowing to parse safely and then release the entry.
It fails at least on my computer, though it may depend on some unpredictable
factors (say, will realloc() extend the memory segment in place, or it will
allocate new memory).
* Error-handling is cleaned up to only let a file-not-found error
through, not other sorts of errors. And when a file-not-found
error happens, we clean up the error.
* Test now checks that file-not-found introduces no error. And
other minor cleanups.
For example, if you have
[include]
path = foo
and foo didn't exist, git_config_open_ondisk() would just give up
on the rest of the file. Now it ignores the unresolved include
without error and continues reading the rest of the file.
In the check for multiline, we traverse the backslashes from the end
backwards and int the end assert that we haven't gone past the beginning
of the line. We make sure of this in the loop condition, but we also
check in the return value.
However, for certain configurations, a line in a multiline variable
might be empty to aid formatting. In that case, 'end' == 'start', since
we ended up looking at the first char which made it a multiline.
There is no need for the (end > start) check in the return, since the
loop guarantees we won't go further back than the first char in the
line, and we do accept the first char to be the final backslash.
This fixes#2483.
There are a number of tests that modify the global or system
search paths during the tests. This adds a helper function to
make it easier to restore those paths and makes sure that they
are getting restored in a manner that preserves test isolation.
There are a few tests that set up a fake home directory and a
fake GLOBAL search path so that we can test things in global
ignore or attribute or config files. This cleans up that code to
work more robustly even if there is a test failure. This also
fixes some valgrind warnings where scanning search paths for
separators could end up doing a little bit of sketchy data access
when coming to the end of search list.
When we delete an entry, we also want to refresh the configuration to
catch any changes that happened externally.
This allows us to simplify the logic, as we no longer need to delete
these variables internally. The whole state will be refreshed and the
deleted entries won't be there.
With the isolation of complex reads, we can now try to refresh the
on-disk file before reading a value from it.
This changes the semantics a bit, as before we could be sure that a
string we got from the configuration was valid until we wrote or
refreshed. This is no longer the case, as a read can also invalidate the
pointer.
In order to have consistent views of the config files for remotes,
submodules et al. and a configuration that represents what is currently
stored on-disk, we need a way to provide a view of the configuration
that does not change.
The goal here is to provide the snapshotting part by creating a
read-only copy of the state of the configuration at a particular point
in time, which does not change when a repository's main config changes.
On set, we set/add the value written to the config's internal values,
but we do not refresh old values.
Document this in a test in preparation for the refresh changes.
This changes the behavior of callbacks so that the callback error
code is not converted into GIT_EUSER and instead we propagate the
return value through to the caller. Instead of using the
giterr_capture and giterr_restore functions, we now rely on all
functions to pass back the return value from a callback.
To avoid having a return value with no error message, the user
can call the public giterr_set_str or some such function to set
an error message. There is a new helper 'giterr_set_callback'
that functions can invoke after making a callback which ensures
that some error message was set in case the callback did not set
one.
In places where the sign of the callback return value is
meaningful (e.g. positive to skip, negative to abort), only the
negative values are returned back to the caller, obviously, since
the other values allow for continuing the loop.
The hardest parts of this were in the checkout code where positive
return values were overloaded as meaningful values for checkout.
I fixed this by adding an output parameter to many of the internal
checkout functions and removing the overload. This added some
code, but it is probably a better implementation.
There is some funkiness in the network code where user provided
callbacks could be returning a positive or a negative value and
we want to rely on that to cancel the loop. There are still a
couple places where an user error might get turned into GIT_EUSER
there, I think, though none exercised by the tests.
This adds giterr_user_cancel to return GIT_EUSER and clear any
error message that is sitting around. As a result of using that
in places, we need to be more thorough with capturing errors that
happen inside a callback when used internally. To help with that,
this also adds giterr_capture and giterr_restore so that when we
internally use a foreach-type function that clears errors and
converts them to GIT_EUSER, it is easier to restore not just the
return value, but the actual error message text.
