config["cookiefile"] is set correctly later on in setup_config().
Not working since check added in:
7b34be590 ("Introduce check plugins, use Python requests for http/s
connections, and some code cleanups and improvements.", 2014-03-01)
There are some config options which have no equivalent command line
option. Some may want to set these options dynamically or on a one-off
basis where a static config file is not ideal, and one very easy way to
do that is using process substitution:
linkchecker --config <(printf '%s\n' '[filtering]' 'ignorewarnings=http-redirected') ...
This, however, does not work in the current code because these are
typically implemented as FIFOs, which don't pass the `os.path.isfile`
check:
WARNING linkcheck.cmdline 2023-10-31 00:12:09,678 MainThread Unreadable config file: '/dev/fd/63'
Allow reading FIFOs as config input so that this is possible.
`fileutil.is_readable` also now doesn't check if the path leads to a
regular file: this is only used as part of cookie and config file input,
and in both cases that's not really relevant.
Remove code for old-style classes:
better_exchook2.py:238:62: E1101: Module 'types' has no 'InstanceType' member (no-member)
Command-line equivalent of 9a33c2a65 ("Make requesting login form password work on Python 3", 2020-04-14):
command/setup_config.py:167:36: E1101: Module 'linkcheck.director.console' has no 'encode' member (no-member)
Add missing argument:
plugins/parseword.py:141:31: E1120: No value for argument 'wrange' in function call (no-value-for-parameter)
With PyOxidizer 0.18.0 AppName in setup.py has to be changed to the
all lower case "linkchecker".
Application translations do not work.
better_exchook2.fallback_findfile() may still need converting, first
needs a test.
drop_privileges() is only used by the linkchecker command.
Move installing SIGUSR1 handler to the linkchecker command only - fixes
intermittent test failures.
