Package: libbarby-ruby1.8 Version: 0.3-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch
Creating a new instance of Barby::Code128 with a legitimate string can
cause a stack trace. One such string is the empty string:
Barby::Code128.new("", 'B')
The stack trace is:
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/barby/barcode/code_128.rb:239:in `characters': private method
`split' called for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/barby/barcode/code_128.rb:364:in `valid?'
from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/barby/barcode/code_128.rb:162:in `initialize'
from ./foo.rb:15:in `new'
from ./foo.rb:15
foo.rb (attached) reproduces the problem two different ways.
