Support windows path in validate_file checks

[stevenslack]

Summary

Fixes #296 where the code checks paths for "validity" by checking the return value of validate_file to ensure that it is 0, but a valid Windows filepath on a Windows system will return 2, making it so that this plugin cannot run on a Windows host (either for local development or via Windows Server).

What changed

This PR replaces the validate_file check to ensure it returns either 0 or 2.

• fix validate_path function where validate_file checks for 0 or 2
• fix validate_file on Windows for load_scripts function
• fix the validate_file error in the register_post_meta_from_defs function

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Refactor

  • Improved path validation logic to enhance security and maintainability.
  • Streamlined script loading process by utilizing the updated path validation function.

• Bug Fixes

  • Adjusted path validation to correctly handle additional valid cases, reducing false negatives in file checks.

Walkthrough

The changes involve updating the logic for path validation in a PHP codebase to support Windows file paths. The validate_path function now accepts paths that return either 0 (valid path) or 2 (valid Windows path) from the validate_file function. This modification is then used to streamline checks within other functions that previously performed separate file existence and validation checks.

Changes

File Path	Change Summary
src/assets.php	Updated validate_path to accept valid Windows paths; refactored load_scripts to use validate_path.
src/meta.php	Refactored to use validate_path for file existence and validation checks.

Related issues

• Support Windows Paths wp-curate#109: This issue describes a bug where Windows paths are not supported due to the validate_file check only allowing a return value of 0. The changes in this PR address this by allowing a return value of 2 as well, which is consistent with the issue's suggested fix.
• Support Windows Paths #296: Similar to the above, this issue reports a problem with Windows paths not being recognized as valid. The PR's changes directly address this concern by updating the validation logic to support Windows paths.

src/assets.php (4)

• 16-19: The update to the validate_path function to accept a return value of 2 from validate_file as valid is consistent with the PR's objective to support Windows file paths.

• 119-125: The load_scripts function has been correctly updated to use the validate_path function, centralizing the path validation logic and ensuring consistency with the new validation rules.

• 16-22: The search for direct calls to validate_file and file_exists within the src/ directory only returned the instance that was already modified in the validate_path function. This suggests that there are no other instances in the src/ directory where validate_file and file_exists are used together in a way that should be replaced by the updated validate_path function.

Based on the search results, it appears that the codebase is consistent with the use of the updated validate_path function where necessary.

Analysis chain

Note: This review was outside the patches, so it was mapped to the patch with the greatest overlap. Original lines [16-125]

Verify if there are any remaining direct calls to validate_file and file_exists that should be replaced with calls to the updated validate_path function for consistency.

Scripts Executed

The following scripts were executed for the analysis:

---

Script:

#!/bin/bash
# Search for direct calls to `validate_file` and `file_exists` that should be replaced with `validate_path`
rg --pcre2 'validate_file\(.+\) && file_exists\(.+\)' src/

* 16-19: Verify that the `validate_file` function has been updated accordingly to handle the new return value of `2` as valid, as this change is not visible in the provided hunks.

src/meta.php (1)

• 135-140: The implementation of validate_path in src/assets.php confirms that it returns true if validate_file returns either 0 or 2, and additionally checks if the file exists. This aligns with the PR's objective to support Windows file paths by adjusting the validate_file checks to accept a return value of 0 or 2 as valid.

The change in register_post_meta_from_defs to use validate_path for file validation is therefore correctly implemented to support the intended functionality on Windows systems.

Analysis chain

The change to use validate_path for file validation in register_post_meta_from_defs aligns with the PR's objective to support Windows file paths. Ensure that validate_path is implemented to return true for both 0 and 2 as valid return values from validate_file.

The validate_path function is defined in the src/assets.php file. To verify that it correctly handles the return values from validate_file, I will need to check the implementation within that file.

Scripts Executed

The following scripts were executed for the analysis:

---

Script:

#!/bin/bash
# Search for the definition of `validate_path` to ensure it handles return values correctly.
rg "function validate_path" --files-with-matches
