Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.4 >Status: Deleted >Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Mike Looijmans (cdwave) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: tarfile incorrectly handles long filenames Initial Comment: tarfile seems to incorrectly handle filenames longer than 100 characters. This is tarfile as provided with 2.4.3 and 2.4.4. The 0.8.0 version of tarfile is even worse - it will cut off the last character of any filename that is exactly 100 in size. Below the unit test that I use to reproduce the problem: class Test00tarfile(unittest.TestCase): def runtest(self, longName): import tarfile dst=StringIO() src=StringIO("Hello world!") srclen = len("Hello world!") tar = tarfile.open(mode='w|', fileobj=dst) tar.add('test.py') info = tar.gettarinfo('test.py', longName) info.size = srclen tar.addfile(info, src) src.seek(0) tar.addfile(info, src) tar.close() dst.seek(0) tar = tarfile.open(mode='r|', fileobj=dst) info = tar.next() self.assertEqual(info.name, 'test.py') info = tar.next() self.assertEqual(info.size, srclen) self.assertEqual(info.name, longName) info = tar.next() self.assertEqual(info.name, longName) info = tar.next() self.assertEqual(None, info) def testLongFileName200(self): "tarfile with 200+ length filename" self.runtest("LongName/" + 200 * "x" + "/LongTail") def testLongFileName100(self): "tarfile with 100 length filename" self.runtest('MyWiki/underlay/pages/(e7ae80e4bd93e4b8ade69687)MoinMoin(2fe5ae89e8a385e6898be5868c)/cache/text_html') The "200" test fails on the standard version, on tarfile 0.8.0 the 100 test fails too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Mike Looijmans (cdwave) Date: 2006-10-24 15:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1372511 Test was wrong, and there were distinct bugs in various versions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1583537&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
