Bug ID: 434919
Summary: Baloo does not exclude folders correctly if $HOME has
a trailing slash
Product: frameworks-baloo
Version: 5.80.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When $HOME is set with a trailing slash (something caused /etc/passwd to be set
like that, not sure what, pretty sure it wasn't manual), the exclude folder
list generated by the Baloo System Settings configuration module contains paths
with double slash components:
----8<----
$ grep exclude\ folders ~/.config/baloofilerc
exclude folders[$e]=$HOME/.cache/,$HOME/mnt/,$HOME/snap/
$ balooctl config show excludeFolders
kf.baloo: Folder cache: std::vector("/home/odeda//.cache/": excluded,
"/home/odeda//snap/": excluded, "/home/odeda//mnt/": excluded, "/home/odeda/":
included)
/home/odeda//.cache/
/home/odeda//snap/
/home/odeda//mnt/
----8<----
When that happens, baloo ignores the exclude folders configuration and scans
the excluded paths.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Setup /etc/password with a slash at the end of your home directory, log out
and back in
2. Use System Settings to remove all excluded folders and then add some back in
3. Wait for baloo to start indexing files
OBSERVED RESULT
Baloo indexes files in the excluded folders.
EXPECTED RESULT
Baloo should understand that `//` isn't referring to a directory with an empty
name and should be canonicallized in the same way that coreutils' realpath does
it, and not scan excluded folders.
