fix: escape sed special chars in update_history to handle & in titles - #1619
Merged
Conversation
…fixes pystardust#1576) Titles containing '&' (e.g. 'Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt') corrupted the history file because '&' in sed's replacement string means 'the entire matched text'. This caused the matched line to be duplicated inside the replacement, breaking history continuation. Escape &, \, and | in the title before using it in the sed replacement string.

Fair point - probably overkill for anime titles. But Bumped the version. |

@Derisis13 this is a bit obnoxious, copying this to so many PRs. |

I bumped to 4.14.2, because I want to merge #1707 before this. |

This was more difficult to reproduce and review than anticipated, but the issue is real and so is your fix for it! |

The history resolver's episode-tail regex is end-anchored and the search-line parser assumes the episode count is the last parenthetical, so both miss the new shape. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(green): tolerate the year suffix ani-cli 4.14.5 appends to titles The history resolver's episode-tail regex now accepts an optional trailing all-digit parenthetical after "(N episodes)" and strips both, so courSize extraction, search-title stripping, and title plausibility checks keep working on rows the new ani-cli writes. The search-line parser peels the year group off before locating the episode count. Old-format rows parse unchanged on both paths. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: model ani-cli 4.14.5 output in allanime fixtures and bats suites The search fixture gains the airedStart field the new search selection requests — without it the 4.14.5 result sed matches nothing, which broke the acceptance suite and the Rust progress-line drift detector against the real script. Expectations move to the "(N episodes) (YYYY)" format, process_hist_entry's new up-to-date line and year-preserving count refresh are covered, and update_history gets a case locking in the upstream sed-escape fix for ampersands in titles. All updated behaviors were verified by sourcing the merged script directly, since bats' pass/fail signal for lib-sourcing tests is currently unreliable (see the follow-up on source_ani_cli_lib disabling errexit and the ERR trap). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(red): search results without an airedStart year must survive allmanga returns airedStart: null for older and stub rows (the GUI scraper models exactly that as None), and ani-cli 4.14.5's result sed silently drops such rows. The GUI chooses a candidate from its own full scraper list and passes a 1-based -S index into ani-cli, so a dropped row makes that show unplayable and shifts every later index onto the wrong anime. The fixture gains a no-year stub edge that must come through in the pre-4.14.5 shape. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(green): keep no-year allanime rows in ani-cli search results Adds a fallback sed expression to the vendored script's search_anime that emits rows without an airedStart year in the pre-4.14.5 shape (no year suffix) instead of dropping them; a t branch keeps year-carrying rows on the upstream format. This preserves 1:1 index parity with the GUI's native scraper list, which the play path relies on when passing -S. Second intentional divergence from upstream, alongside the __ANI_CLI_LIB__ source guard. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(red): search rows with escaped quotes in the title must survive ani-cli 4.14.5 tightened the name capture from the old greedy form to a no-quotes character class, so a title containing an escaped double quote stops the match and the row is dropped before the final unescape sed runs — shifting the GUI's -S index like the no-year drop did. The fixture gains a quoted-title edge that must come through unescaped. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(green): restore the greedy title capture in search_anime Both result expressions capture the name with the greedy (.+) upstream used before 4.14.5 instead of [^\"]*, so titles containing escaped quotes match again and stay in the list; the trailing sed strips the escapes from the display form as it always has. Greedy backtracking still lands on the closing quote-comma boundary because every other field in the record is numeric. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(red): failed episode lookups must not emit an up-to-date row ani-cli 4.14.5's process_hist_entry falls through to the "(up to date)" line whenever the next-episode lookup is empty — including when episodes_list returned nothing (transient failure; the row then carries a blank latest episode and a corrupted count) or no longer contains the saved episode (the shown latest is unrelated to what the user watched). Both cases must print nothing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(green): only mark history entries up to date on a real lookup process_hist_entry remembers the saved episode before the next-episode lookup overwrites it, and the up-to-date fallback now requires a non-empty episode list that actually contains that episode. Transient episodes_list failures and stale saved episodes print nothing instead of a selectable row with a blank or unrelated latest episode. Third fork patch on the vendored script, marked inline like the others.

Bug
#1576 — Anime titles containing
&(e.g. "Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt") corrupt the history file, breaking the continue-watching feature.Root Cause
In
update_history(), the title is used directly in asedreplacement string:In sed's replacement,
&is a special character meaning "the entire matched text". So a title likePanty & Stocking with Garterbeltcauses the entire matched line to be inserted where&appears, producing:This garbled line can't be parsed back, so history continuation fails.
Fix
Escape
&,\, and the delimiter|in the title before passing it to the sed replacement string. The new entry path (printfappend) is unaffected sinceprintf "%s"doesn't interpret these characters.Testing
Verified with titles containing
&,\, and|:Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt→ history line written correctlyHappy to address any feedback.
