Re: [Quickfix-developers] DataDictionary reading problem

[<OM...@th...>]

Thanks for the patch.  We will apply this to the repository.  We will also
add a test that will throw a ConfigError exception if the file is not found
or the read fails (we currently do this in MSXML, but it looks like this
was missed for the libxml implementation).  These will be some good unit
tests to add.

Hello,

We've found the problem with code, which reads DataDictionary.
The problem is that DataDictionary::readLibXml always adds current
directory to the dictionary file name. As a result in case if the
dictionary filename from config file is set as an absolute path,
it can't find it.
The other problem is that it's never got reported so there is no
any error message and the only symptom is that down the road validation
of some of the messages fails (which also can be reported or not).

To fix the problem I've just changed the code so it wouldn't add the
current directory to the file name and it seems to work ok (I've checked
with both full and relative path examples).

You can apply the following patch for the src/C++/DataDictionary.cpp :
332,335c332
<   char buffer[ PATH_MAX ];
<   getcwd( buffer, PATH_MAX );
<   std::string current( buffer );
<   current = current + "/" + url;
---
>   std::string current( url.c_str() );

There is still problem of reporting, I think DataDictionary::readLibXml
should probably throw some exception in case if it can't open the
dictionary...

Cheers,

--
Sergey
