[jira] Created: (CLI-206) If Parser.parse is called with a Properties parameter that contains an option not defined, get a NPE

If Parser.parse is called with a Properties parameter that contains an option not defined, get a NPE
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CLI-206
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-206
             Project: Commons CLI
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Parser
    Affects Versions: 1.2
            Reporter: Denis Haskin


See junit test below.

The problems appears to be in org.apache.commons.cli.Parser.processProperties, around lines 252 - 259.

It's trying to get the Option object for the property's name, but if none was specified, then opt is null and the attempt to call opt.hasArg() at line 259 throws an NPE.

The fix should be to skip the remainder of the clause if the Option object is null.


Example unit test:

package test;

import java.util.Properties;

import org.apache.commons.cli.OptionBuilder;
import org.apache.commons.cli.Options;
import org.apache.commons.cli.PosixParser;
import org.junit.Test;


public class CommonsCliBugTest {

    @Test
    public void testCommonsCliOkay() throws Exception {
        String[] args = new String[] {};
        Properties p = new Properties();
        p.setProperty("alpha", "beta");
        Options options = new Options();
        options.addOption(OptionBuilder.withLongOpt("alpha").hasArg().withArgName("ALPHA").create());
        PosixParser parser = new PosixParser();
        parser.parse(options, args, p);
    }

    @Test
    public void testCommonsCliFails() throws Exception {
        String[] args = new String[] {};
        Properties p = new Properties();
// Note this property is not specified as a valid option
        p.setProperty("gamma", "beta");
        Options options = new Options();
        options.addOption(OptionBuilder.withLongOpt("alpha").hasArg().withArgName("ALPHA").create());
        PosixParser parser = new PosixParser();
        parser.parse(options, args, p);
    }
}

[jira] Updated: (CLI-206) If Parser.parse is called with a Properties parameter that contains an option not defined, get a NPE

Emmanuel Bourg updated CLI-206:
-------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 1.3
      Description: 
See junit test below.

The problems appears to be in org.apache.commons.cli.Parser.processProperties, around lines 252 - 259.

It's trying to get the Option object for the property's name, but if none was specified, then opt is null and the attempt to call opt.hasArg() at line 259 throws an NPE.

The fix should be to skip the remainder of the clause if the Option object is null.


Example unit test:

{code:java}
package test;

import java.util.Properties;

import org.apache.commons.cli.OptionBuilder;
import org.apache.commons.cli.Options;
import org.apache.commons.cli.PosixParser;
import org.junit.Test;


public class CommonsCliBugTest {

    @Test
    public void testCommonsCliOkay() throws Exception {
        String[] args = new String[] {};
        Properties p = new Properties();
        p.setProperty("alpha", "beta");
        Options options = new Options();
        options.addOption(OptionBuilder.withLongOpt("alpha").hasArg().withArgName("ALPHA").create());
        PosixParser parser = new PosixParser();
        parser.parse(options, args, p);
    }

    @Test
    public void testCommonsCliFails() throws Exception {
        String[] args = new String[] {};
        Properties p = new Properties();
        // Note this property is not specified as a valid option
        p.setProperty("gamma", "beta");
        Options options = new Options();
        options.addOption(OptionBuilder.withLongOpt("alpha").hasArg().withArgName("ALPHA").create());
        PosixParser parser = new PosixParser();
        parser.parse(options, args, p);

------------------------------------

Thank you for the detailed report. This issue has been fixed on the trunk, it's actually a duplicate of CLI-204.
