Description

I tried to parse an invalid URI with the URI library. I expected an error such as URI::InvalidComponentError or URI::InvalidComponentError, but I got "undefined method `split' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)".

The simplest way to check this is as follows:
ruby -ruri -e 'URI "mailto:/example.com/"'
which produces
/usr/local/lib/ruby/2.3.0/uri/mailto.rb:138:in initialize': undefined method split' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.3.0/uri/rfc3986_parser.rb:75:in new' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.3.0/uri/rfc3986_parser.rb:75:in parse'
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.3.0/uri/common.rb:226:in parse' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/2.3.0/uri/common.rb:713:in URI'
from -e:1:in `'

I have some ideas for how to fix this, e.g. add
raise InvalidComponentError if @opaque.nil?
before the offending line (/lib/uri/mailto.rb:138), and will go forward and add such a fix unless I hear some advice to the contrary.

  • lib/uri/mailto.rb: raising URI::InvalidComponentError instead
    of failing with undefined method `split' for nil:NilClass for
    mailto: URIs without opaque part. [Bug #10738]
  • test/uri/testuri.rb: Test for above

This issue is also present in Ruby 2.2. Is it possible to backport?

Here is the reproduction steps:

$ rbenv shell 2.2.4
$ ruby -ruri -e 'URI "mailto:/example.com/"'
/Users/rafaelfranca/.rbenv/versions/2.2.4/lib/ruby/2.2.0/uri/mailto.rb:138:in `initialize': undefined method `split' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
	from /Users/rafaelfranca/.rbenv/versions/2.2.4/lib/ruby/2.2.0/uri/rfc3986_parser.rb:75:in `new'
	from /Users/rafaelfranca/.rbenv/versions/2.2.4/lib/ruby/2.2.0/uri/rfc3986_parser.rb:75:in `parse'
	from /Users/rafaelfranca/.rbenv/versions/2.2.4/lib/ruby/2.2.0/uri/common.rb:226:in `parse'
	from /Users/rafaelfranca/.rbenv/versions/2.2.4/lib/ruby/2.2.0/uri/common.rb:713:in `URI'
	from -e:1:in `<main>'

I've confirmed that with ruby 2.1.8 the reproduce snippet raises URI::InvalidComponentError (expected behavior).

% ruby -v -ruri -e 'URI "mailto:/example.com/" rescue p $!'
ruby 2.1.8p440 (2015-12-16 revision 53160) [x86_64-darwin15.0]
#<URI::InvalidComponentError: unrecognised opaque part for mailtoURL: >

  • Backport changed from 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: DONTNEED, 2.2: REQUIRED to 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: DONTNEED, 2.2: DONE

Backported into ruby_2_2 branch at r54341.
