Parsing variables was broken in several ways:
- empty quotes (representing an intentionally empty value) were lost,
causing parser failures
- items consisting of only one letter were lost due to a bug in RE_VARS
- RE_VARS didn't start with ^, which means leading garbage (= syntax
errors) was ignored
- trailing garbage was also ignored
This patch fixes those issues in separate_vars() and changes
var_transform() to write out empty quotes (instead of nothing) for empty
values.
Also add some tests for separate_vars() with empty quotes and adjust
several tests with invalid syntax to expect an AppArmorException.
var_transform() gets some tests added.
Finally, remove 3 testcases from the "fails to raise an exception" list
in test-parser-simple-tests.py.
Acked-by: John Johansen <john.johansen@canonical.com> for trunk and 2.9
(which also implies 2.10)
Note: 2.9 doesn't have test-parser-simple-tests.py, therefore it won't
get that part of the patch.
Known Bugs:
Will allow multiple letters in the () due to translation/unicode issues with regexing the key.
User input will probably bug out in a different locale.
