By specification, when settings.allowUnknownFileEnds is true and the user tries
to import a file with an unknown extension (this includes no extension),
Etherpad tries to import it as txt.
This broke in Etherpad 1.8.0, that abruptly terminates the processing with an
UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning.
This patch restores the intended behaviour, and allows to import as text a file
with an unknown extension (on no extension).
In order to catch the UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning we had to use
fsp_rename(), which is declared earlier in the code and is promised based
instead of fs.rename(), which is callback based.
Fixes#3710.
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.
This change extracts the grammar correction performed on the async branch,
anticipating them in a single commit. It cannot be folded with the previous
one, as it is not purely cosmetic.
This change is only cosmetic. Its aim is do make it easier to understand the
async changes that are going to be merged later on. It was extracted from the
original work from Ray Bellis.
To verify that nothing has changed, you can run the following command on each
file touched by this commit:
npm install uglify-es
diff --unified <(uglify-js --beautify bracketize <BEFORE.js>) <(uglify-js --beautify bracketize <AFTER.js>)
This is a complete script that does the same automatically (works from a
mercurial clone):
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -eu
REVISION=<THIS_REVISION>
PARENT_REV=$(hg identify --rev "${REVISION}" --template '{p1rev}')
FILE_LIST=$(hg status --no-status --change ${REVISION})
UGLIFYJS="node_modules/uglify-es/bin/uglifyjs"
for FILE_NAME in ${FILE_LIST[@]}; do
echo "Checking ${FILE_NAME}"
diff --unified \
<("${UGLIFYJS}" --beautify bracketize <(hg cat --rev "${PARENT_REV}" "${FILE_NAME}")) \
<("${UGLIFYJS}" --beautify bracketize <(hg cat --rev "${REVISION}" "${FILE_NAME}"))
done
```
- path.exists() is no longer part of nodejs
- fs.exists() is deprecated (as of nodejs >= 8)
- checking a file for existence before using it is open to raca condition. It is
preferable to go ahead and use the file, and eventually handle the error
- we can afford two simple synchronous fs operations here
