This fixes an issue where the metadata cached file cannot be updated because the file was opened as read-only.

Version

0.11.2

Description

When initializing a cached.Provider with cached.New, if the cached file already exists and needs to be updated, the doTruncateCopyAndSeekStart method will fail because the file was opened as read-only.

The error happens here:

if err = f.Truncate(0); err != nil {
return err
}

The cached file is opened as read-only using os.Open (see here) here:

if f, err = os.Open(name); err == nil {
return f, false, nil
}

How to reproduce

The issue can be reproduced with the following code.

The code will run successfully the first time, when it will download and cache blob.jwt, and fail on followup runs, trying to truncate the cached file, with the following log error: provider init error:truncate blob.jwt: invalid argument.

package main

import (
	"log"

	"github.com/go-webauthn/webauthn/metadata/providers/cached"
)

func main() {
	_, err := cached.New(
		cached.WithPath("blob.jwt"),
		cached.WithForceUpdate(true))

	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal("provider init error:", err)
	}

	log.Println("provider init success!")
}

This fixes an issue where the metadata cached file cannot be updated
because the file was opened as read-only.

Walkthrough

The change modifies the doOpenOrCreate function in metadata/providers/cached/util.go. The file is now opened using os.OpenFile with read-write flags instead of the read-only os.Open. The error handling and logic for file creation remain unchanged. This update allows the file to support both reading and writing.

Changes

File Path Summary of Changes
metadata/.../util.go Changed file opening from os.Open (read-only) to os.OpenFile with os.O_RDWR for read-write access while keeping error handling intact.

I'm a bunny with a hop and a skip,
Reading and writing now on our code trip.
Files open wide with a twist so bold,
Error checks steady, never cold.
CodeRabbit beams as the changes unfold!

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

28-28: Consider setting appropriate file permissions.

The current implementation uses a permission mode of 0, which is too restrictive. Consider using a more appropriate permission mode like 0600 for user read-write access.

-	if f, err = os.OpenFile(name, os.O_RDWR, 0); err == nil {
+	if f, err = os.OpenFile(name, os.O_RDWR, 0600); err == nil {

33-35: Set consistent file permissions for new files.

When creating a new file, ensure consistent permissions are set to match the open mode.

-		if f, err = os.Create(name); err != nil {
+		if f, err = os.OpenFile(name, os.O_RDWR|os.O_CREATE|os.O_TRUNC, 0600); err != nil {

27-41: Consider adding defer to close file on error paths.

While the happy path likely has proper file closure handled by the caller, it would be safer to ensure the file is closed on error paths to prevent potential file descriptor leaks.

 func doOpenOrCreate(name string) (f *os.File, created bool, err error) {
+	var file *os.File
 	if f, err = os.OpenFile(name, os.O_RDWR, 0600); err == nil {
 		return f, false, nil
 	}

 	if os.IsNotExist(err) {
-		if f, err = os.Create(name); err != nil {
+		if file, err = os.OpenFile(name, os.O_RDWR|os.O_CREATE|os.O_TRUNC, 0600); err != nil {
 			return nil, false, err
 		}
+		f = file
 		return f, true, nil
 	}

 	return nil, false, err
 }

28-28: LGTM! This fixes the read-only access issue.

The change from os.Open to os.OpenFile with os.O_RDWR flag correctly addresses the issue where doTruncateCopyAndSeekStart fails to update the cached file due to read-only access.
