Anjuta

Anjuta project wizard broken by quotes used in user description

Asked by Petr Cech

Anjuta project wizard is unable to create a project properly when system user's description contains quote symbol (").

Steps to reproduce:
1. Update description for ubuntu user who is currently logged in to: Petr "celestian" Cech
2. Run Anjuta
3. File -> New... -> 4. Project
4. Click on Next
5. Click on Next
6. Click on Finish

Actual results:
Project is not created (but Anjuta claims that is). Menu Project is missing.

Console output:

  celestian@Omega:~$ anjuta
  /bin/sh: /usr/bin/esd: not found
  (anjuta:5957): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_markup_parse_context_parse: assertion `context->state != STATE_ERROR' failed
  (anjuta:5957): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_markup_parse_context_end_parse: assertion `context->state != STATE_ERROR' failed
  ** (anjuta:5957): WARNING **: Error at row 1 char 1: Document must start with element (for example: <book>)
  (anjuta:5957): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_markup_parse_context_end_parse: assertion `context->state != STATE_ERROR' failed

Expected results:
Project is created without errors. Menu Project exists.

Note:
Quote contained in the user's description is probably causing the parse error and should be escaped.

This looks like an excellent bug report for the Anjuta project, whatever that is. It doesn't have anything to do with the Launchpad project. I suggest reporting it in Anjuta's bug tracker.

I've solved this. I don't know if my solutions works for all the cases.

I've noted in debug mode (anjuta -p) send this messages:

(anjuta:13963): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_markup_parse_context_parse: assertion `context->state != STATE_ERROR' failed

** (anjuta:13963): WARNING **: Error en la línea 15, carácter 99: Carácter impropio «"»,·se esperaba el carácter '='·después del nombre de atributo·«Quantium»·del elemento·«property»

(Is spanish of course)

In my anjuta preferences I has in Author 'Andres "Quantium" González Aragón

I've removed Quotes and now I can create a new project.

Efectively "Quote contained in the user's description is probably causing the parse error and should be escaped"

thanks Petr Čech
