[W3af-svn-notify] [Task #147325] plugin configuration validation

[SourceForge.net <no...@so...>]

Task #147325 has been updated. 

Project: w3af
Subproject: gtkUi - Phase 2
Summary: plugin configuration validation
Complete: 0%
Status: Open
Authority  : andresriancho
Assigned to: andresriancho

Description: The validation of the plugin configuration values should be done when the user clicks "Save".

This problem was discovered while talking with Eduardo at his home. Do you remember ?

The steps to reproduce it are:

0) ./w3af -g
1) Go to audit and xss
2) Change numberOfChecks to 66
3) Click on Save (here a pop-up should appear)
4) Enter target URL
5) Click start (this pop-up message shouldn't appear, it should appear on step 3)

Once again, you were right! =)

I modified the setPluginOptions of the core and now we have a working validation at that phase.

Done in r879.

Agree that it should, but it not depends of the GUI, but the Core, see:

In step 3, I save the information in the plugin: the Core seems to don't do any check here.

In step 5, I set all the activated plugins (main.py, line 307), save the target url (line 315), and even I init all the plugins (line 321), and the core is OK with all that.

But then I try to verify the environment (line 322), and the Core reacts with the w3afException.

So, I think that the Core should react when I'm saving the plugin.

If you think that the GUI should verify the environment each time the user saves a Plugin, reassign this to me (but also tell me if I should init all the plugins at that moment).

Thanks!
