Description

It was described in comment:15:ticket:11612 how arbitrary data can be stored in session attributes by editing the client-side JavaScript in the browser. The proposed solution is to add a new interface for registering session attributes:

class ISessionAttributeProvider(Interface):

    def get_session_attribute_names():
        """Return a list of supported names in session attribute."""

    def validate_session_attribute(name, value):
        """Validate the given attribute.""""

Two design considerations:

  • The ExtensionPoint needs to be called on a Component class.
  • The ISessionAttributeProvider needs to be implemented on a class in session.py to declare the basic fields such as name, email, and default_handler (though maybe default_handler should be moved to RequestDispatcher).

Which class is appropriate? The only Component class in session.py is SessionAdmin. Adding the ExtensionPoint or implementing ISessionAttributeProvider on that class doesn't seem conceptually correct. Maybe it is okay for now though, until the session module grows additional functionality? We could add a new class, but what would it be called and what would be additional future responsibilities? Should it be SessionSystem?

Narrowing focus for milestone:1.2. Please move ticket to milestone:1.2 if you intend to fix it.

TODO look at whether we could expand the TracAdmin session set command to cover all session attributes (e.g. pygments_style). Maybe that will be easier to do by adding the right interface.

(Another use case could be configuring XMPP addresses.)
