#4159 rebased to 5.0x
Having a
'src': None
entry in a dict for checksums is as valid as having aNone
entry directly in the list. However the current function didn't handle it and crashed.Fix that as well as a few corner cases especially in the recursive case by introducing a new function for handling checksum entries in the checksum list and limiting the recursiveness.
It will now throw an
EasyBuildError
similar to e.g.to_dependency
instead of trying to continue and fail at a random other place.I extended the testcases to cover the original issue (None as a value in a dict) and some more correct and error cases
Please carefully review and check if you can come up with any valid or invalid
checksums
entry that might break using the new function. Especially regarding the YEB compatibility this was pretty hard as for lists of strings you cannot know if those are 2 checksums without a type that should both match or a checksum and type. In EC-files (Python) one can use a tuple for that but then again it is hard to tell if that tuple is a checksum and type or 2 alternative checksums.Fixes #4142
