Summary: Crash when importing malformed vcard file

Minimal vcf file
When syncing contacts from a bt phone, syncevolution crashes. This is because
the phone is sending malformed vcf file (see attached file). The problem is
that in some cases it adds a blank line before the END:VCARD. I think it should
be a bit more tolerant on errors.
To reproduce, just run the command:
syncevolution --import address-lines.vcf backend=evolution-contacts

--- Comment #2 from Patrick Ohly <patrick.ohly(a)gmx.de> ---
First, some general comments.
The --import operation is not what happens during a normal sync and therefore
cannot be used to debug data handling issues encountered during syncing. The
difference is that during syncing, the Synthesis engine parses individual
items, transforms each one for the storage and only then sends it to the
storage. --import on the other hand handles multiple items (separated by blank
lines by default) and sends the individual items directly to the backend,
without conversion.
When using the command line, it is easier for debugging to use --daemon=no,
because then the actual execution happens inside the current process instead of
getting moved to syncevo-dbus-server.
So in this case, --import should indeed not crash, but it also can't be used
like this to import directly from the phone. You need to disable splitting at
the empty line, like this:
syncevolution --daemon=no database=test backend=evolution-contacts --import
/tmp/address-lines.vcf --delimiter none
That works because EDS happens to support vCard 2.1 in addition to vCard 3.0.
Now regarding the crash: this seems be a bug in the EDS vCard parser when
passed incomplete items. The first "item" can be imported:
$ cat /tmp/address-lines.vcf

That looks like libebook produces an invalid EContact instance. Do you want to
investigate that further or may I close it as "NOTOURBUG"?
Regarding syncing with the phone, what issue do you see there? Also a crash?
To debug that, run the sync with loglevel=4 and then check the
syncevolution-log.html. It should show in great detail how the incoming vCard
is handled.
Note that empty lines in vCard and iCalendar are dubious. The specs do not
cover the case. I just checked it the other day because KDE also inserts an
empty line in iCalendar items. The consensus seems to be that parsers should
handle it, but generators should avoid it, because some parsers fail on empty
lines.

Something that needs to be fixed in SyncEvolution is the error handling once
syncevo-dbus-helper executes the failing libebook code. I tried it the same way
as you did and see a similar deadlock in the SyncEvo::LogRedirect::process
method.

Thanks for the --daemon=no trick.
It is indeed a bug in libebook that I'm hunting now. But I think there is still
something wrong in syncevolution. As I understand correctly, it is
syncevolution who split the vcf file into individual vcards, right? If I pass
the "--delimiter none" option it fix the problem, but then if I put a file with
2 vcards it won't import the 2nd.
So if I understand correctly, there are 2 bugs:
1) libebook should deal with vCards missing the END:VCARD without crashing on
that [ERROR 00:00:02] GLib: g_ascii_strcasecmp: assertion `s1 != NULL' failed
2) syncevolution should deal with vcf files containing blank lines and split it
correctly into individual vcards.
Note that strictly speaking, if I understand correctly the RFC[1], blank lines
are forbidden between BEGIN:VCARD and END:VCARD, because there can be only one
CRLF at the end of each line. But still, parsers should be tolerant, vcard
writers are known to never fully respect the RFC. Never seen a single device
out there that always produce valid vcards. Never.

(In reply to comment #4)
2) syncevolution should deal with vcf files containing blank lines
and split
it correctly into individual vcards.
No, SyncEvolution's --import wasn't designed for that. The code doing the
splitting is completely unaware of what kind of items it or the backend deals
with. All of the item manipulation operations are thin wrappers around the
existing backend methods.
That import/export can deal with multiple items is a convenience feature that
happens to work for vCard 3.0 and iCalendar 2.0 (at least as long redundant
empty lines are avoided). It does not work for vCard 2.1 or vCalendar 1.0
because those formats may contain empty lines (if I remember correctly).
This is different from a dedicated "import vcard file" feature. Such a feature
would require the backends to implement additional functionality that is not
needed for syncing. Therefore it is a bit out of scope for SyncEvolution.
Having said that, I would be okay with accepting patches that enhance the
feature.

I reported a bug on EDS with a patch for the when the vcard is just
"END:VCARD":
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=726788
With that fix, all vcards are actually imported correctly since it won't crash,
but it adds lots of empty contacts because it considers "END:VCARD" to be a
full vcard. One possible fix for that is skipping empty contacts in
EvolutionContactSource::insertItem() ?

Creating a contact with no properties is unusual, but not an error. The backend
shouldn't silently skip over such contacts and return an empty ID. That'll
cause sync failures.
We could throw an error to indicate that the contact was not okay, but then you
don't achieve your goal of having "--import" silently import all contacts
when
the vcard file is broken.
No, I think the only sane solution would be to implement a semantic file
parser. Until then, --import should work as currently specified.

Right, I understand. The change is more invasive and I probably won't have time
to work on that though.

I think we have addressed the original problems, the shutdown problem from
comment #3. Let's close it.
