#1775 closed defect (fixed)

view source functionality should be more robust against buggy activities

Reported by: rgs Owned by: tomeu
Priority: Unspecified by Maintainer Milestone:
Component: Sugar Version: Git as of bugdate
Severity: Major Keywords: r+, robust file existence check
Cc: walter Distribution/OS: Unspecified
Bug Status: New

Description

Scenario:

We added view-source support to TurtleArt (see attached code snippet). I manage to hit a code path (a race condition somewhere or problem accessing the temp file) in which I got the following exception (in ~/.sugar/default/logs/shell.log):

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/jarabe/view/viewsource.py",  line 291, in __init__
 activity_button.props.group = document_button
 UnboundLocalError: local variable 'document_button' referenced before assignment

Checking the constructor of the Toolbar class in jarabe/view/viewsource.py it seems like the following test:

 if document_path is not None:

forgets to check file existence as the previous conditional does:

 if document_path is not None and os.path.exists(document_path)

The attached patch proposes a fix by starting document_button to None which seems cheaper then testing for the existence of a file twice.
