#50152 Replace os.getenv('HOME') with os.path.expanduser
Closed: wontfix 5 years ago by spichugi. Opened 5 years ago by cheimes.

Issue Description

lib389 uses os.path.join(os.getenv('HOME'), ENV_LOCAL_DIR) to get the path to local conf directory. When HOME env var is not set, the call will fail with an exception. Instead of HOME, please use https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.path.html?highlight=expanduser#os.path.expanduser . The expanduser will do the right thing and get home directory on all platforms from either env vars or password database.

>>> import os
>>> ENV_LOCAL_DIR = '.dirsrv'
>>> os.path.expanduser(os.path.join('~', ENV_LOCAL_DIR))
'/home/heimes/.dirsrv'

Package Version and Platform

389-DS 1.4.0.16-1

Steps to reproduce

  1. unset HOME
  2. install FreeIPA server

Actual results

File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ipaserver/install/service.py", line 549, in start_creation
   run_step(full_msg, method)
 File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/ipaserver/install/service.py", line 535, in run_step

   insts = ds.list(serverid=slapd['instance_name'])
 File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/lib389/__init__.py", line 774, in list
   privconfig_head = os.path.join(os.getenv('HOME'), ENV_LOCAL_DIR)
 File "/usr/lib64/python3.7/posixpath.py", line 80, in join
   a = os.fspath(a)
TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not NoneType 

Expected results

389-DS should not use HOME
