Bug #4975
Morpho can't handle docid prefix containing a period
0%
Description
A user just reported mysterious problems attempting to save and reopen documents in Morpho. It appears the problem is that her prefix contains a period, impairing Morpho's ability to parse the document id.
Steps to reproduce:- Create a new profile, choosing a prefix that contains a period (foo.bar)
- Create a new data package, and save locally
- Restart Morpho
The saved package doesn't appear in the Open Data Package window.
Also, .morpho/profiles/foo.bar/data looks like this:
`-- foo
`-- bar.3.1
Rather than this:
`-- foo.bar
`-- 3.1
Either Morpho needs to be smarter about parsing IDs, or if such a prefix is illegal, it shouldn't allow users to create one containing periods in the first place (and this should be documented).

I'm pretty sure this has come up before. We're already preventing the use of "temporary" as a prefix. I believe Metacat does not allow periods in the docid scope as well.
#2 Updated by ben leinfelder almost 10 years ago
periods not allowed anymore.
help/error text indicates such.
