From 05b4ece3a7abd71b4046dc811ffc701aaabbafc7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dipto0321 Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2026 17:09:22 +0600 Subject: [PATCH] fix(platform): lock in QuotePath behavior for paths with spaces The detector layer has been correctly calling platform.QuotePath on any filesystem path embedded in a shell script (the only callsite is internal/detector/nvm.go which sources ~/.nvm/nvm.sh). However, the QuotePath helper itself had only three smoke tests covering one input each, leaving several cross-platform regressions undetected: - Windows backslash-escape behavior was untested (no test exercised a Windows-style path like C:\\Program Files\\nodejs). - Unix shell metacharacters that QuotePath protects against were not table-driven ($, `, |, <, >, embedded "). - The cross-platform distinction in unsafe-char sets was implicit; a future refactor that swapped the two would not be caught by tests on a single OS. - End-to-end behavior (a quoted path actually round-tripping through the shell) was not exercised. This change adds TestQuotePathTable (table-driven, split into unix and Windows case sets so the same test runs on all three CI OSes and the expected output is unambiguous per OS) and TestQuotePathRoundTrip (which shells out via RunShellScript and printf to confirm quoted paths survive an actual bash round-trip). It also adds a doc comment on RunShellScript making it explicit that callers must pass paths through QuotePath before embedding them in the script string. No production code in QuotePath itself was changed -- the implementation was already correct; the gap was test coverage and discoverability of the contract. Closes #25. --- internal/platform/platform_test.go | 118 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ internal/platform/shell.go | 7 ++ 2 files changed, 125 insertions(+) diff --git a/internal/platform/platform_test.go b/internal/platform/platform_test.go index 72eea4d..4b0eb09 100644 --- a/internal/platform/platform_test.go +++ b/internal/platform/platform_test.go @@ -1,9 +1,11 @@ package platform import ( + "context" "path/filepath" "runtime" "testing" + "time" ) // TestDataDirIsUnderUserHome documents and enforces the convention that @@ -110,6 +112,122 @@ func TestQuotePathWithSpace(t *testing.T) { } } +// TestQuotePathTable exercises QuotePath across the cases that matter for +// cross-platform support: spaces, embedded quotes, backslashes (Windows +// path separators), shell metacharacters on unix ($, `, |), and edges +// (empty, single space, trailing slash). +// +// Expected output is computed by branching on runtime.GOOS because +// QuotePath uses a different unsafe-char set on Windows vs unix: on +// Windows only `"` is unsafe; on unix ` "$`<>|'` are all unsafe. +// +// We run the same table on every OS so CI catches regressions on all +// three platforms (ubuntu, macos, windows in our matrix). +func TestQuotePathTable(t *testing.T) { + type tc struct { + name string + in string + want string + } + + // Unix-style cases (forward slashes, no backslashes).
