Description

Package: rubygem-hammer_cli.noarch 2.1.1-1.el8

Running 'hammer prebuild-bash-completion' create a subdirectory name '~' of the user's home directory and than creates a '.cache' directory under that.

Example: On CentOS 8.2 System (hostname redacted)

[admin@centos8-host ]$ cd
[admin@centos8-host ~]$ touch . # So its lists last
[admin@centos8-host ~]$ ls ltra | tail -1
drwx-----
. 7 admin admin 4096 Aug 12 18:22 .
[admin@centos8-host ~]$ hammer prebuild-bash-completion

[admin@centos8-host ~]$ ls -ltra | tail -1
drwxrwxr-x. 3 admin admin 20 Aug 12 18:22 ~
[admin@centos8-host ~]$ find ./
-ls
67519951 0 drwxrwxr-x 3 admin admin 20 Aug 12 18:22 ./~
100919321 0 drwxrwxr-x 2 admin admin 6 Aug 12 18:22 ./~/.cache
[admin@centos8-host ]$ rm -rfv ./
removed directory './~/.cache'
removed directory './~'

Looking at /usr/share/gems/gems/hammer_cli-2.1.1/lib/hammer_cli/bash/prebuild_command.rb (shown below), either setting cache_file needs to under go tilde (~) expansion before being used passed to dirname(), or another cause needs to be investigated.

Regards,
Peter

Sorry I forgot to preview the formatted version :-(

The solution would appear to be File.expand_path()

echo 'File.expand_path("~/.cache")' | irb
Switch to inspect mode.
File.expand_path("~/.cache")
"/home/admin/.cache"

I was going to stop at reporting this, but curiosity got the better of me ;-)

As File.expand_path() can fail if given rubbish input like "~~/.cache", I placed the call on its own, so any stack trace should show the problem is with the setting's value and not getting the setting, but I have never written a single line of Ruby before this, so I'm not going to suggest its the final or best solution, but it does seem to work, and the ~/.cache/hammer_completion.yml file is created and populated, without the errant directories being created :-)

  • Subject changed from hammer prebuild-bash-completion create a directories '~' and '~/.cache' in user's home directory to hammer prebuild-bash-completion create a directories '~' and '~/.cache' in user's home directory AND stores JSON in a .yml file

OK, so I just read the rest of the code in original post.

QUESTION: Why is JSON code being placed ~/.cache/hammer_completion.yml (a YAML file extension)?

And, yes I verified the contents of the file - its JSON and not YAML !!!
