Subject: [PATCH 0/4] oe/path: three fixes plus selftest coverage
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 18:12:48 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715221252.3369108-1-twoerner@gmail.com> (raw)
While adding unit coverage for the copy of oe/path.py vendored into the
standalone wic repository, three real bugs turned up in the shared
meta/lib/oe/path.py. They are fixed here at the source so the whole
project benefits, each as its own standalone commit:
- __realpath()'s isdir guard assigns a bare `false`, which is not a
Python name; when os.path.isdir() raises, the handler meant to
absorb the error raises NameError instead. Use the builtin False.
- symlink(force=True) cleared the destination through remove(), which
globs its argument; a destination containing glob metacharacters
could fail to match itself (leaving a stale entry) or match
unrelated files. Remove the literal destination instead.
- canonicalize('') and canonicalize(None) returned the current
working directory, because os.path.realpath('') does; a stray
separator injected a spurious cwd entry too. Skip empty tokens.
The final commit extends meta/lib/oeqa/selftest/cases/liboe.py with a
PathTests class covering oe.path's own logic (join(), is_path_parent(),
symlink(), make_relative_symlink(), canonicalize(), which_wild(),
realpath()) and locking in the three fixes; backing any fix out turns
the matching test red. oe-selftest -r liboe.PathTests runs 37 tests,
all passing.
Trevor Woerner (4):
oe/path: fix bare `false` NameError in __realpath's isdir guard
oe/path: don't glob-expand the destination in symlink(force=True)
oe/path: canonicalize('') should return '' rather than the cwd
oeqa/selftest/liboe: cover oe.path's own path logic
