T15637: Undefined index exception setting Meme text

rP7b0021a03cb2: Fix "Undefined index" exception setting Meme text

Summary

strlen() was used in Phabricator to check if a generic value is a non-empty string.
This behavior is deprecated since PHP 8.1. Phorge adopts phutil_nonempty_string() as a replacement.

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.

EXCEPTION: (RuntimeException) Undefined index: above at [<arcanist>/src/error/PhutilErrorHandler.php:251]
 arcanist(), phorge()
   #0 <#2> PhutilErrorHandler::handleError(integer, string, string, integer, array) called at [<phorge>/src/applications/macro/engine/PhabricatorMemeEngine.php:276]

Closes T15637

Test Plan

Create a meme called "angrycat" from the /macro/ page, and try a comment like this, expecting no nuclear implosion:

{meme, src=angrycat, below=}
{meme, src=angrycat, above=}
{meme, src=angrycat, below=, above=}
{meme, src=angrycat, below=  , above=  }
{meme, src=angrycat, below=asd}
{meme, src=angrycat, above=asd}
{meme, src=angrycat, above=asd, below=dsa}
{meme, src=angrycat, above=   asd   , below=   dsa  }

Also carefully read the code with your big eyes, keeping in mind that strlen does not accept passing null in PHP 8, and looking at what we did in rPb4cfe56f03b44615ac9251aed8d74bf13b085051.

Fixed my dirty tree, sorry

Thanks

Maybe other people would like to propose a coalesce() and always trim() that and just have the if(phutil_nonempty...($)), but to be honest this is just correct and somehow minimal.

I tested this with:

{meme, src=angrycat, below=}

{meme, src=angrycat, above=}

{meme, src=angrycat, below=, above=}

{meme, src=angrycat, below=  , above=  }

{meme, src=angrycat, below=asd}

{meme, src=angrycat, above=asd}

{meme, src=angrycat, above=asd, below=dsa}

{meme, src=angrycat, above=   asd   , below=   dsa  }

There is a thing, to be honest. We are trimming the $above just in the test, but then we are not using the trimmed string in the rendering. So, the $v = coalesce($v, '') thing, and always trim() later, may still be better.

What about something like this?

So we add a bit of documentation, plus some commodity methods to avoid NULL at all costs, and only manage strings. So we have simpler business logic.
