[daemon] prunsrv not handling StartPath argument correctly for path ending in \ on windows
Hey all,
First time posting on here, so please let me know if I'm doing something
wrong.
I would like to report a bug with the daemon tool. I tried creating a JIRA
ticket but subscriptions are closed and I couldn't find information on the
project page on how to request one.
While investigating an issue we had using the prunsrv, we noticed that the
tool does not handle well StartPath arguments with a path that ends on \ if
they are encapsulated in quotes.
Apache daemon version: 1.3.3
Platform: Windows 10 Home 22H2
Binaries: AMD64/prunsrv.exe from the project native binaries download
An example to illustrate:
prunsrv.exe//IS//TestService --StartPath="C:\TestService\"
++JvmOptions9=-Dan.option="A value"
In the windows registry, the WorkingPath registry key under
TestService/Parameters/Start now reads: C:\TestService"
++JvmOptions9=-Dan.option=A
You can see that the path does not stop at the closing quote as expected.
The Jvm option is also not recognized.
If we install the same service without \ at the end of the StartPath:
prunsrv.exe//IS//TestService --StartPath="C:\TestService"
++JvmOptions9=-Dan.option="A value"
The WorkingPath registry key correctly reads C:\TestService and the jvm
option is recognized.
Someone else noticed on StackOverflow noticed the same behavior
https://stackoverflow.com/a/54118534/13618336
If someone can help me sign up for an ASF Jira account I'm happy to create
a ticket on this.
Kind regards,
Thomas

Indeed; thanks for reporting it. It is only mentioned indirectly in [1] for
requesting subscription to the "security@" ML.

OK.
[Message has not been delivered yet, probably because that list is
moderated.]

Hi Gilles,
I saw that page but could not find a private@commons.apache.org listed on
the project page so I was not sure it was active for this project. I
reached out private@commons.apache.org for an ASF Jira account.
Thanks for the information!

Thomas,
This conversation is not a waste of time, especially if it can lead to the
improvement of this project. To this end, feel free to provide a PR in
GitHub to better the documentation.
Ty,

If we program it by hand it's something we could do, yes. Since we are
trying to program the installation of service through bat files and
variables, with paths coming from %~dp0 or %cd% we would have to implement
additional checks or workarounds
On further thinking, I realized I forgot about the parsing rules for
arguments in C. \" is a special case interpreted before it even reaches the
procrun code. This is not a design choice by the Apache Commons team and I
understand now why the original issue was closed.
Maybe we could put a reminder in the procrun documentation to prevent
other lost souls from making the same mistake?
Sorry for wasting everyone time on something that wasn't an issue to begin
with.
Kind regards,
Thomas

You just did ;-)
Does D:/ not work for you?

I would like to amend my statement. Say that I would like my start
directory to be the root of my d drive. In Windows, this would be d:\ This
is the only valid path to point to the root of a volume. This would not be
possible with the current implementation. Could it be possible to open the
discussion again?

After further investigation, it looks like my issues are the same as in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAEMON-198
Although I don't agree with the then-reached conclusion that \ at the end
of a path is invalid, I accept that was the choice made.
My issue is a duplicate and can be closed.
