Fix: Name the port and the cause when a port name is rejected - #37
dv-picknik wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
`CreatePort`, behind `InputPort`, `OutputPort` and `BidirectionalPort`, threw
one fixed message whenever `IsAllowedPortName` failed. It never named the port,
and it blamed the first character even when the cause was a forbidden
character, so `InputPort<double>("target.x")` reported:
The name of a port must not be `name` or `ID` and must start with an
alphabetic character. Underscore is reserved.
It now reports the port and the check that failed:
Port name 'target.x' contains forbidden character '.'
`ThrowInvalidPortName` builds the message in the library, next to
`IsAllowedPortName`, so it checks in the same order and the reason it names is
always the one that failed. Keeping it out of the `CreatePort` template also
keeps the error path out of every plugin that declares a port. It is a new
exported symbol, so the change to the library's ABI is additive only.

Give the underscore explanation only for an underscore.
For 1abc or .x, the error says a leading underscore is reserved. Neither name starts with an underscore. Use that explanation for _foo; use the alphabetic-first-character reason for other invalid initial characters.

A Behavior that declares
InputPort<double>("target.x")compiles against 4.9.0 and then throws atregisterNodeType:target.xstarts with a letter. The real cause is the., which 4.9.0 forbids and 4.7.2 allowed. A MoveIt Pro customer whose Behavior declares a dotted port hits this on upgrading to 10.2, and the message never names the port either.Change

ThrowInvalidPortNameinsrc/basic_types.cpp, next toIsAllowedPortName. It runs the same checks in the same order, so the reason it names is the one that failed. Because it lives in the library rather than theCreatePorttemplate, the error path is no longer compiled into every plugin that declares a port.ThrowInvalidPortNameis a new exported symbol, so the ABI change is additive only.Testing
pixi run build && pixi run test, 526/526.NameValidation.CreatePort_ErrorNamesTheCausecovers each failure path, including the control-character branch. For every case it checks that the message names the port, names the right reason, and does not name a wrong one.The test also pins the check order. Three inputs fail two checks at once:
_a.b,.xand1.5. I swapped the first-character and forbidden-character checks, and the test failed on exactly those three. Restored, it passes.Shipping it in 10.2
The message is built in the library, so customers only see it once this lands in a published deb. That means re-pinning
