- only accept ASCII-encoded .dirindex files (this is guaranteed to work
fine "everywhere");
- reject .dirindex files with a 'path' entry that contains a backslash
or starts with a slash;
- reject .dirindex files with a 'path' entry that contains a '..'
component;
- reject .dirindex files with an 'f', 'd' or 't' entry whose name field
contains a slash or a backslash;
- reject .dirindex files with an 'f', 'd' or 't' entry whose name field
is '..';
- add comment lines (starting with '#') in the sample good .dirindex
file used by unit tests.
In Python, common usage is not to define accessors, but to directly use
class or instance attributes (especially when the associated data is
constant after instance creation). If it later happens that a given
attribute needs getter or setter logic, this can always be done via the
@property decorator, and doesn't affect calling code at all. See for
instance:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#propertyhttps://mail.python.org/pipermail/tutor/2012-December/thread.html#92990
Apply this to the DirIndex class and rename the following attributes for
better readability: f -> files, d -> directories, t -> tarballs.
The tests can be run from directory 'scripts/python/TerraSync' using:
python3 -m unittest tests.test_dirindex
(or just 'python3 -m unittest' to run all tests pertaining to
terrasync.py).
