Description

Node[*].Name is not mandatory, however internal Idea converter seems to expect it and crumbles.

Node.Name is expected even at the database level - the column is set to be not null. What solution should I choose: making the column nullable or rejecting events with missing Node.Name?

Hmm, I see... thinking...

It happened in message with two Node fields, and only (last) one of them had Name missing. As for CESNET, it does not make sense to accept events without at least one Node.Name - and it even should not happen, because Warden server checks whether first Node.Name corresponds with client name in certificate.

So it seems to me we can settle on a compromise: Reject events with no Node.Name whatsoever (require at least one), but don't break on events with missing Name in some of the Node's. (Bonus: no change in db needed.)

I made a change so that Nodes with no names are accepted and stored in database as NULL. If there are no node names, an exception is raised.

Wouldn't it make sense to change get_detectors to not return empty Names (None) at all - omit them completely? Code at internal.py:430 would not be needed and sqldb.py:179 would be a tad simpler. Is get_detector used anywhere else, where "change" in semantics may interfere?

Indeed, it gets simpler by not storing empty Names. That was my original idea, but I didn't manage to make it work. Here is the updated code:

Ok. What exactly happens when this exception is triggered?

Actions #8

Updated by Rajmund Hruška about 4 years ago

The exception is stored in the log and the message is moved to errors.

Could we wedge in some small unit test?
