Correct a PHP8 compatibility issue when running "arc diff" with no active branch
ClosedPublic

Authored by jkimbo on May 23 2023, 12:45.

Details

Summary

When there is no active branch name, arc diff currently fails under PHP8 when we try to strlen(null).

This change is also credited to Evan from upstream Phabricator that applied the same change:

https://secure.phabricator.com/rARCc39ab20eb3717a15aed2467842bd77d9addce96a

Note: this may highlight other absurd input values that might be worth correcting
instead of just ignoring. If phutil_nonempty_string() throws an exception in your
instance, report it to Phorge to evaluate and fix that specific corner case.

Closes T15412

Test Plan

Under PHP 8.1: ran git checkout <hash of head>, then arc diff to generate this revision.

Thanks :)

I blindly accept since I totally trust Evan and also it's reasonable to assume that a branch name will never become a native integer or a boolean or an array etc. for legitimate reasons.

The function phutil_nonempty_string() will explode as usual if it will find a non-null or non-string, and that is OK here to me.

Ready to land!

@valerio.bozzolan I'm not familiar with the process here, is it up to me to land the revision or do I wait until a maintainer does it?

Also thanks for the review :)

I think it's a pretty hallucinatory experience to be tested at least once in your life

But feel free to say "naaah, not today. Land for me".

Awesome, revision landed. Thanks for the help @valerio.bozzolan
