NB1: needs additional review and testing - no abiword available on my test bed
NB2: in ImportHandler.js, directly delete the file, and handle the eventual
error later: checking before for existence is prone to race conditions,
and does not handle any errors anyway.
- removed possible issue with failing to sanitize `padName` if `padId` was also
supplied
- removed unnecessary `try` block
- simplified API and function name matching tests
Also converted the handler functions that depend on checkAccess() into async
functions too.
NB: this commit needs specific attention to it because it touches a lot of
security related code!
This patch also contains significant refactoring relating to error checking of
arguments supplied to the functions (e.g. rev) facilitated by use of `throw`
instead of nodeback errors.
1. This module was not migrated to Promises, because it is only used via
express-session, which can't actually use promises anyway.
2. all(), clear() and length() depend on the presence of the `db.forEach()`
function, which in ueberdb2 doesn't even exist.
Fortunately those three methods are optional, so I made their existence
conditional on the presence of `db.forEach`.
3. in SessionStore.clear(), replaced a call to db.db.remove() with db.remove()
Changed two occurrences of:
process.nextTick(function() {
if (fn) fn();
});
with
if (fn) {
process.nextTick(fn);
}
i.e. such that no function even gets added to the `nextTick` queue unless
there's actually a function to be called.
Extracted from Ray's work.
`getPadAccess()` (src/node/padaccess.js) is now "promise only", resolving to
`true` or `false` as appropriate, and throwing an exception if there's an
error.
The two call sites (padreadonly.js and importexport.js) updated to match.
Use real `async` instead of async.js where applicable.
The `getPluginTests()` function was never truly async anyway because it only
contains calls to synchronous `fs` modules.
Since this code can end up loaded in browsers when using client side plugins,
avoid use of ES6 syntax features such as arrow functions until MSIE support is
finally dropped.
This change is in preparation of the future async refactoring by Ray. It tries
to extract as many changes in boolean conditions as possible, in order to make
more evident identifying eventual logic bugs in the future work.
This proved already useful in at least one case.
BEWARE: this commit exposes an incoherency in the DB API, in which, depending
on the driver used, some functions can return null or undefined. This condition
will be externally fixed by the final commit in this series ("db/DB.js: prevent
DB layer from returning undefined"). Until that commit, the code base may have
some bugs.
