[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox{, -backup} v5 0/2] close #4763: client: added command to forget backup group

[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox{, -backup} v5 0/2] close #4763: client: added command to forget backup group

[Gabriel Goller]

Added the command `proxmox-backup-client group forget <group>` so
that we can forget (delete) whole groups with all the containing
snapshots. As this is quite dangerous, we added a prompt, so the
user has to confirm the operation.

v5, thanks @Christian:
 - stricter input matching ($ in regex)
 - avoid printing full datastore path

v4:
 - removed localization

--version 3 has been skipped--

v2:
 - added localization

[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox v5 1/2] router: cli: added `ask_for_confirmation` helper

[Gabriel Goller]

Added `ask_for_confirmation` helper that outputs a prompt and
lets the user confirm or deny it.
Implemented to close #4763.

The enumeration is not really tied to being a _default_ answer, you just use
it that way now in this patch, I'd rather use just Answer and then also use that
as return value.

See for a replacement proposal at the end.

So, a caller passes DefaultAnswer::Yes, the user enter the full word "no", your logic
then makes it a Yes like it would for all other unrecognized input...  I do not like
such dangerous interfaces, so NACK.

The default must only be taken if the user did not make any input, but just pressed
enter.

same here

> +        }

I'd rather prefer something like the following interface, it's mostly boilerplate
and docs, but it should allow some safer usage. Could also do s/Confirmation/Confirm/
but no hard feelings there.

The code from patch 2/2 could look the roughly like:

let destroy_group_answer = Confirmation:query_with_default(
    format!("Delete group \"{backup_group}\" with {snapshots} snapshot(s)?"),
    Confirmation:No,
)?;

if destroy_group_answer.is_yes() {
    // ....
}

I'd have to disagree, I don't think this is a dangerous interface...
If, e.g., we use DefaultAnswer::No, there is no difference between 'no',
'bogus', 'N', or '<enter>' IMO. So why should one return an error and
the other one false?

This was just my thought when implementing this, although ultimately,
it doesn't matter because we only check for success and ignore errors 
and false returns.
FWIW I think your implementation is way prettier, especially the Answer
enum being input and output :)

Should I apply the diff and submit a new version or can this be applied
immediately?

I do think there's a big difference though. Because with "" the user entered
the empty choice to get the default that was presented to them, with uppercase
signalling what the default is, and for the others the user entered an unknown,
invalid choice that one must not derive any action from.

And while yes, as long as the default is a no-op it would be indeed fine to
silently ignore any bogus input and relay the default answer, but this here
is a general interface that cannot take such assumptions because it just
cannot know possibly implications of that choice, the default choice is
not bound to be the no-op after all.

E.g., if you have an interface that allows for some changes and then could
sync those to remotes (this is roughly how our CDN repo tooling works).
It's not a real destructive action and most often syncing is what you want,
so defaulting to yes is done. But sometimes one must not sync immediately
due to batching changes or redoing them. Now, what's the better UI for
following prompt + entry

The proposal of the original patch:

```
Sync? [Y/n]: no
Ok, syncing...
```


```
Sync? [Y/n]: no
Abort – unexpected choice "no"! Use enter for default or use 'y' or 'n'.
```

IMO the latter is much more resilient to human errors, e.g. a middle click
pasting in some text that contains a newline, or a simple misunderstanding.
And FWIW also more unlikely, but not unheard of, things like spilling
drinks, or toddlers or cats walking over the keyboard – which for the
"accept any invalid input as default answer" has a quite high chance to
trigger something unexpected.

In short, for confirmation the behavior should be clear and expected,
accepting arbitrary data as valid choice isn't either; erroring out might
be a nuisance for some, but is safe and provides clarity.

My code was mostly an elaborate sketch, I could be improved a bit, i.e.,
what I did not really thought through is using std::io::Error as Error type,
at least for the "invalid input" case it might be maybe debatable,
but using that now would allow users to avoid forcing the use of a more
complex one, like anyhow, and can also be changed later.

Ok, you convinced me :)

The current output on error is: 

    Error: invalid input parameter

anyhow is already used in proxmox-router so I'd say we can just as well
use it. A simple bail! with the message you proposed should do the trick:

    Abort – unexpected choice "no"! Use enter for default or use 'y' or 'n'.

I'd drop the "Abort -" here and bail only with the "unexpected choice "{input}"!
Use enter for default or use 'y' or 'n'" here, as what the calling code then
does is their decision, might not necessarily be aborting the current operation,
but re-asking the user again.

[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup v5 2/2] close #4763: client: add command to forget backup group

[Gabriel Goller]

Add the command `proxmox-backup-client group forget <group>` so
that we can forget (delete) whole groups with all the containing
snapshots.
To avoid printing full datastore paths (which are in the error messages)
we filter out the most common one (group not found) and rephrase it.
