Jeff King 94a35b1aea config: reject bogus section names for --rename-section
You can feed junk to "git config --rename-section", which
will result in a config file that git will not even parse
(so you cannot fix it with git-config). We already have
syntactic sanity checks when setting a variable; let's do
the same for section names.

Martin Stenberg 4b34059355 config: report errors at the EOL with correct line number
A section in a config file with a missing "]" reports the next line
as bad, same goes to a value with a missing end quote.

This happens because the error is not detected until the end of the
line, when line number is already increased. Fix this by decreasing
line number by one for these cases.

Jeff King 270a34438b config: stop using config_exclusive_filename
The git-config command sometimes operates on the default set
of config files (either reading from all, or writing to repo
config), and sometimes operates on a specific file. In the
latter case, we set the magic global config_exclusive_filename,
and the code in config.c does the right thing.

Instead, let's have git-config use the "advanced" variants
of config.c's functions which let it specify an individual
filename (or NULL for the default). This makes the code a
lot more obvious, and fixes two small bugs:

  1. A relative path specified by GIT_CONFIG=foo will look
     in the wrong directory if we have to chdir as part of
     repository setup. We already handle this properly for
     "git config -f foo", but the GIT_CONFIG lookup used
     config_exclusive_filename directly. By dropping to a
     single magic variable, the GIT_CONFIG case now just
     works.

  2. Calling "git config -f foo --edit" would not respect
     core.editor. This is because just before editing, we
     called git_config, which would respect the
     config_exclusive_filename setting, even though this
     particular git_config call was not about looking in the
     user's specified file, but rather about loading actual
     git config, just as any other git program would.

Jeff King 88d42af893 t1300: test mixed-case variable retrieval
We should be able to ask for a config value both by its
canonical all-lowercase name (as git does internally), as
well as by random mixed-case (which will be canonicalized by
git-config for us).

Subsections are a tricky point, though. Since we have both

  [section "Foo"]

and

  [section.Foo]

you might want git-config to canonicalize the subsection or
not, depending on which you are expecting. But there's no
way to communicate this; git-config sees only the key, and
doesn't know which type of section name will be in the
config file.

So it must leave the subsection intact, and it is up to the
caller to provide a canonical version of the subsection if
they want to match the latter form.

Matthieu Moy 008e3cc5d7 config: display key_delim for config --bool --get-regexp
The previous logic in show_config was to print the delimiter when the
value was set, but Boolean variables have an implicit value "true" when
they appear with no value in the config file. As a result, we got:

git_Config        --get-regexp '.*\.Boolean'	#1. Ok: example.boolean
git_Config --bool --get-regexp '.*\.Boolean'	#2. NO: example.booleantrue

Fix this by defering the display of the separator until after the value
to display has been computed.

Jeff King 1c2c9bee1b config: die on error in command-line config
The error handling for git_config is somewhat confusing. We
collect errors from running git_config_from_file on the
various config files and carefully pass them back up. But
the two odd things are:

  1. We actually die on most errors in git_config_from_file.
     In fact, the only error we actually pass back up is if
     fopen() fails on the file.

  2. Most callers of git_config do not check the error
     return at all, but will continue if git_config reports
     an error.

When the code for "git -c core.foo=bar" was added, it
dutifully passed errors up the call stack, only for them to
be eventually ignored. This makes it inconsistent with the
file-parsing code, which will die when it sees malformed
config. And it's somewhat unsafe, because it means an error
in parsing a typo like:

  git -c clean.requireforce=ture clean

will continue the command, ignoring the config the user
tried to give.

everything after the first "=" as the value (keys cannot
have an equals sign in them, so the parsing is unambiguous).

2011-06-01 14:05:22 -07:00
Junio C Hamano 73546c085d handle_options(): do not miscount how many arguments were used
The handle_options() function advances the base of the argument array and
returns the number of arguments it used. The caller in handle_alias()
wants to reallocate the argv array it passes to this function, and
attempts to do so by subtracting the returned value to compensate for the
change handle_options() makes to the new_argv.

But handle_options() did not correctly count when "-c <config=value>" is
given, causing a wrong pointer to be passed to realloc().

Fix it by saving the original argv at the beginning of handle_options(),
and return the difference between the final value of argv, which will
relieve the places that move the array pointer from the additional burden
of keeping track of "handled" counter.

Jeff King 06eb708f33 config: always parse GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS during git_config
Previously we parsed GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS lazily into a
linked list, and then checked that list during future
invocations of git_config. However, that ignores the fact
that the environment variable could change during our run
(e.g., because we parse more "-c" as part of an alias).

Instead, let's just re-parse the environment variable each
time. It's generally not very big, and it's no more work
than parsing the config files, anyway.

As a bonus, we can ditch all of the linked list storage code
entirely, making the code much simpler.

The test unfortunately still does not pass because of an
unrelated bug in handle_options.

Libor Pechacek 2169ddc056 Disallow empty section and variable names
It is possible to break your repository config by creating an invalid key.  The
config parser in turn chokes on it:

  $ git init
  Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/gittest/.git/
  $ git config .foo false
  $ git config core.bare
  fatal: bad config file line 6 in .git/config

This patch makes git-config reject keys which start or end with a dot and adds
tests for these cases.

Libor Pechacek b09c53a3e3 Sanity-check config variable names
Sanity-check config variable names when adding and retrieving them.  As a side
effect code duplication between git_config_set_multivar and get_value (in
builtin/config.c) was removed and the common functionality was placed in
git_config_parse_key.

This breaks a test in t1300 which used invalid section-less keys in the tests
for "git -c". However, allowing such names there was useless, since there was
no way to set them via config file, and no part of git actually tried to use
section-less keys. This patch updates the test to use more realistic examples
as well as adding its own test.

Jeff King 1f2baa78c6 config: treat non-existent config files as empty
The git_config() function signals error by returning -1 in
two instances:

  1. An actual error occurs in opening a config file (parse
     errors cause an immediate die).

  2. Of the three possible config files, none was found.

However, this second case is often not an error at all; it
simply means that the user has no configuration (they are
outside a repo, and they have no ~/.gitconfig file). This
can lead to confusing errors, such as when the bash
completion calls "git config --list" outside of a repo. If
the user has a ~/.gitconfig, the command completes
succesfully; if they do not, it complains to stderr.

This patch allows callers of git_config to distinguish
between the two cases. Error is signaled by -1, and
otherwise the return value is the number of files parsed.
This means that the traditional "git_config(...) < 0" check
for error should work, but callers who want to know whether
we parsed any files or not can still do so.

Pat Thoyts 3ba9ba8f34 Skip t1300.70 and 71 on msysGit.
These two tests fail on msysGit because /dev/null is an alias for nul on
Windows and when reading the value back from git config the alias does
not match the real filename. Also the HOME environment variable has a
unix-style path but git returns a native equivalent path for '~'.  As
these are platform-dependent equivalent results it seems simplest to
skip the test entirely.

Jeff King e85fe4d85b more tr portability test script fixes
Dealing with NULs is not always safe with tr. On Solaris,
incoming NULs are silently deleted by both the System V and
UCB versions of tr. When converting to NULs, the System V
version works fine, but the UCB version silently ignores the
request to convert the character.

This patch changes all instances of tr using NULs to use
"perl -pe 'y///'" instead.

Frank Lichtenheld 7a31cc0f96 config: Fix --unset for continuation lines
find_beginning_of_line didn't take into account that the
previous line might have ended with \ in which case it shouldn't
stop but continue its search.

Christian Couder 09bc098c2d config: add test cases for empty value and no value config variables.
The tests in 't1300-repo-config.sh' did not check what happens when
an empty value like the following is used in the config file:

[emptyvalue]
	variable =

Also it was not checked that a variable with no value like the
following:

[novalue]
	variable

gives a boolean "true" value, while an ampty value gives a boolean
"false" value.

Junio C Hamano 41ac414ea2 Sane use of test_expect_failure
Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite
of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision.  Most tests
run a series of commands that leads to the single command that
needs to be tested, like this:

    test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' '
	setup1 &&
        setup2 &&
        setup3 &&
        what is to be tested
    '

And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the
point of writing tests.  Your setup$N that are supposed to
succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are
trying to test.  The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to
check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which
is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands.

This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to
use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is
tested, like this:

    test_expect_success 'test title' '
	setup1 &&
        setup2 &&
        setup3 &&
        ! this command should fail
    '

test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that
that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it
currently does not pass.  So if git-foo command should create a
file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can
write a test like this:

    test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' '
        rm -f bar &&
        git foo &&
        test -f bar
    '

This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead
of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the
outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".

Shawn O. Pearce c8deb5a146 Improve error messages when int/long cannot be parsed from config
If a config file has become mildly corrupted due to a missing LF
we may discover some other option joined up against the end of a
numeric value.  For example:

	[section]
	number = 1auto

where the "auto" flag was meant to occur on the next line, below
"number", but the missing LF has caused it to no longer be its
own option.  Instead the word "auto" is parsed as a 'unit factor'
for the value of "number".

Before this change we got the confusing error message:

  fatal: unknown unit: 'auto'

which told us nothing about where the problem appeared.  Now we get:

  fatal: bad config value for 'aninvalid.unit'

which at least points the user in the right direction of where to
search for the incorrectly formatted configuration file.

Noticed by erikh on #git, which received the original error from
a simple `git checkout -b` due to a midly corrupted config.

H.Merijn Brand 3175b0cfc1 the use of 'tr' in the test suite isn't really portable
Some versions of 'tr' only accept octal codes if entered with three digits,
and therefor misinterpret the '\0' in the test suite.

Some versions of 'tr' reject the (needless) use of character classes.
