Fix empty attachments 500 error in NPM package PUT request
What does this MR do and why?
When the API path PUT /api/:version/projects/:id/packages/npm/:package_name
is called and the body of the request contains an attachment with a data
field that is an empty string the API returns a 500 error with the message undefined method
count' for nil:NilClass`.
Solution
Catch the error and raise 400
error instead of 500
with a message explaining the reason for the error to the user: {"message":"Attachment data is empty."}
Screenshots or screen recordings
Screenshots are required for UI changes, and strongly recommended for all other merge requests.
How to set up and validate locally
- Have a project where the packages feature is enabled
- Create a
payload.json
file with the following payload
payload
{
"_attachments": {
"foobar-1.0.0.tgz": {
"data": ""
}
},
"_id": "foobar@1.0.0",
"name": "foobar",
"dist-tags": {
"latest": "1.0.2"
},
"versions": {
"1.0.0": {
"name": "foobar",
"version": "1.0.0",
"dist": {
"shasum": "675ea51efc43db9e74c8c6b354adc2f5db1d0221"
},
"tarball": "https://example.com/foobar.tgz",
"_id": "foobar@1.0.0"
}
}
}
curl --request PUT --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data @./payload.json --header "Authorization: Bearer your-token-here" http://gdk.test:3000/api/v4/projects/:project_id_here/packages/npm/foobar
- You should receive a 400 error with
{"message":"Attachment data is empty."}
. On master branch you would get 500 error.
