|
51

|
|
|
|
|
|
This policy is part of the L<C<Perl::Critic::Pulp>|Perl::Critic::Pulp> |
52
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
add-on. It asks you not to use the C<-f> file test because doing so is |
53
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
usually wrong or unnecessarily restrictive. On that basis this policy is |
54
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
under the "bugs" theme, see L<Perl::Critic/POLICY THEMES>. |

|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're traversing a tree and want to distinguish files from directories |
61
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to descend into then C<-d> should be used so device files or named pipes can |
62
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
be processed. |

=item C<-f> doesn't mean readable/writable/seekable |
77
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
78
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Char specials and named pipes are perfectly good for reading and writing, |
79
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and char specials can support seeking. Demanding C<-f> is an unnecessary |
80
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
restriction. You might only ever use ordinary files normally, but there's |
81
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
no need to prevent someone else running it on a tape drive, F</dev/null>, |
82
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
etc. You always have to test each C<seek()> etc for success anyway, and |
83
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that will tell you if a file is seekable. |
84
|

seek HANDLE, 123, 0 |
86

or die "Cannot seek: $!"; |

|
|
A few inflexible functions or operations may not have good "file not found" |
91
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
behaviour and may force you to check for a file before invoking. Using |
92
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
C<-e> is better than C<-f> since as described above it doesn't unnecessarily |
93
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disallow device files. |

=item C<-f> before opening is a race condition |
104
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
105
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Testing a filename before opening is bad. Any test before opening is |
106
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
useless because the file can change or be removed in between the test and |
107
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the open (L<perlfunc/-X>, and L<filetest/Consider this carefully>, note this |
108
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
about C<-r> etc too). |
109
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
110
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
if (-f $filename) { # bad |
111
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
open HANDLE, '<', $filename |
112
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
} |
113
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
114
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to know if the file can be opened then open the file! The error |
115
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
return from C<open()> must be checked, so a test beforehand only duplicates |
116
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that, and is an opportunity to wrongly presume what the system or the user's |
117
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
permissions can or can't do. |
118
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
119
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When opening, C<ENOENT> will say if there was no such file, or C<EISDIR> if |
120
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
it's in fact a directory. |
121
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
122
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
if (! open HANDLE, '<', $filename) { # better |
123
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
if ($! == POSIX::ENOENT()) { |
124
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
... |
125
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
} |
126
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
} |
127
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
128
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you really do want to enquire into the nature of the file, in order to |
129
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
only accept ordinary files, then open first and C<-f> on the handle. But |
130
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that's unusual except for an archiving or backup program. |
131
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
132
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Incidentally, the error message in C<$!> is normally the best thing to |
133
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
print. It can be slightly technical, but its wording will at least be |
134
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
familiar from other programs and is translated into the user's locale |
135
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
language. |

Most uses of C<-f> tend to shell script style code written in Perl. In the |
142
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
shell it's usually not possible to do better than such tests (though C<-d> |
143
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or C<-e> are still generally better than C<-f>), but in Perl it is possible |
144
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to do better. |
145
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
146
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A blanket prohibition like this policy is harsh, but is meant as a building |
147
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
block or at least to make you think carefully whether C<-f> is really right. |
148
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As always you can disable C<ProhibitFiletest_f> from your F<.perlcriticrc> |
149
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the usual way (see L<Perl::Critic/CONFIGURATION>), |
