#19379: Inconsistent config, adding an interface adds quotes to config file
------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
Reporter: pinus | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: Barrier Breaker 14.07
Component: luci | Version: Barrier Breaker 14.07
Keywords: luci wireless firewall |
------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
Creating a new interface adds quotes to firewall and wireless
configuration file.
Comment lines are dropped.
Either the default configuration should get the quotes (as with the other
files) or the UI should not add quotes and the others should be removed
also. This is for consistency.
These global changes cause the risk of breaking things. It causes the risk
to hide errors if one of the scripts reading the config files doesn't
handle the quotes right. For the user there is no relation between the
change and the breakage.
I can not prove, but I managed to mess up my configuration multiple times
and undoing the edit did not return the old state. That is pretty bad
behavior.
Another issue is that the comments are removed.
Steps to reproduce.
1. Starting with factory default.
2. Added and activated both wifi interfaces.
3. Deleted the wan6 interface.
4. Created a new wifi interface.
