Description 497003619 2016-03-22 05:55:00 EDT

The Attributes of AparfWifiManager, "SuccessThreshold 1" & "SuccessThreshold 2", contains space in the attributes name. So when users use ConfigStore to input a configure file which includes these two attributes will encounter an error caused by that totally unnecessary space.

The error is introduced in RawTextConfigLoad::Strip() the statements "NS_ASSERT (start == 0);".

So it is hard to define whether the error is caused by AparfWifiManager or ConfigStore. But I suggest to correct the Attributes and also set a restriction when defining the Attributes as well.

As further discovered, the attributes set for AparfWifiManager are not in a good manner. A lot of them contains space. Please help to correct these error

patch to remove spaces

Comment 3 Tom Henderson 2016-03-22 20:19:15 EDT

It could be perhaps fixed in two steps, as suggested above:

1) remove spaces (patch attached)
2) add some support in the core module to disallow spaces in attribute names

Comment 4 sebastien.deronne 2016-03-23 04:33:38 EDT

I suggest you push this patch, it should indeed be forbidden to used spaces in attributes name.

I decided to hold it until post-release so that bug 2149 (deprecation of renamed attributes) could be done.

I marked bug 2149 as a dependency.

Remove spaces and adapt test

I also modify the test case which uses these attributes.
