From a64c29926efd8460dfc9561d761898197638973d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morgan <1342360+anoadragon453@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2021 11:49:31 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Pass a dict, instead of None, to modules if a None config is specified in the homeserver config (#9229) If a Synapse module's config block were empty in YAML, thus being translated to a `Nonetype` in Python, then some modules could fail as that None ends up getting passed to their `parse_config` method. Modules are expected to accept a `dict` instead. This PR ensures that if the user does end up specifying an empty config block (such as what [the default oidc config in the sample config](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/5310808d3bebd17275355ecd474bc013e8c7462d/docs/sample_config.yaml#L1816-L1845) states) then `None` is not passed to the module. An empty dict is passed instead. This code assumes that no existing modules are relying on receiving a `None` config block, but I'd really hope that they aren't. --- changelog.d/9229.bugfix | 1 + synapse/util/module_loader.py | 3 ++- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 changelog.d/9229.bugfix diff --git a/changelog.d/9229.bugfix b/changelog.d/9229.bugfix new file mode 100644 index 000000000..3ed32291d --- /dev/null +++ b/changelog.d/9229.bugfix @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Fix a bug where `None` was passed to Synapse modules instead of an empty dictionary if an empty module `config` block was provided in the homeserver config. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/synapse/util/module_loader.py b/synapse/util/module_loader.py index 1ee61851e..09b094ded 100644 --- a/synapse/util/module_loader.py +++ b/synapse/util/module_loader.py @@ -49,7 +49,8 @@ def load_module(provider: dict, config_path: Iterable[str]) -> Tuple[Type, Any]: module = importlib.import_module(module) provider_class = getattr(module, clz) - module_config = provider.get("config") + # Load the module config.
