Augeas support completion

[aquette]

while looking back at Augeas for #656, I remembered that there were a number of things still to be done:

• add a "check" target in scripts/augeas/Makefile.am using (NOTE: disabled for now due to the below failure)

augparse -I ./ ./tests/test_nut.aug

• complete nutupsdconf.aug.in with CERTPATH CERTIDENT CERTREQUEST (Mozilla NSS sec)
• audit for other lenses and new features TBD (new keywords of past years added over time; see also Support new NUT vocabulary in nutconf #2294)

[aquette]

side note: tests are failing on my system:

$ augparse -I ./ ./tests/test_nut.aug
Test failure:./tests/test_nut.aug:20.0-25.37:
Expected:
{
{ }
{ "testups"
{ "driver" = "dummy-ups" }
{ "port" = "auto" }
{ "desc" = ""Dummy UPS"" }
}
}

Actual:
{
{ }
{ "testups"
{ "driver" = "dummy-ups" }
{ "port" = "auto" }
{ "desc" = "Dummy UPS" }
}
}

on the test failure:
I just had news from Raphael Pinson. He confirmed what I saw, that is
IniFile.indented_entry handles quotes (and double quotes) in a specific way that can't be modified. The best would be to look elsewhere (Shellvars) to see how it is managed.

@aquette : wrapping my head around the test as it exists today:

let ups_conf  = "
[testups]
	driver = dummy-ups
	port = auto
	desc = \"Dummy UPS\"
"

test NutUpsConf.ups_lns get ups_conf = 
	{ }
	{ "testups" 
		{ "driver" = "dummy-ups"   }
		{ "port"   = "auto" }
		{ "desc"   = "\"Dummy UPS\""    } }

still yielding the discrepancy you saw:

nut/scripts/augeas$ ./gen-nutupsconf-aug.py ; make ; augparse -I ./ ./tests/test_nut.aug && echo PASSED

cd ../.. && /bin/bash ./config.status scripts/augeas/nutupsmonconf.aug
config.status: creating scripts/augeas/nutupsmonconf.aug
Test failure:./tests/test_nut.aug:20.0-25.37:

  { "testups"
    { "driver" = "dummy-ups" }
    { "port" = "auto" }
    { "desc" = ""Dummy UPS"" }
  }
}

 Actual:
{
  {  }
  { "testups"
    { "driver" = "dummy-ups" }
    { "port" = "auto" }
    { "desc" = "Dummy UPS" }
  }
}

BUT: Why do we expect the double quotes inside the desc value? If they were to be escaped, there should be more slashes. If they were to be a single token of two words, augeas already does the right thing... no?

[jimklimov]

Generally it seems quite complicated to conjure up lenses that would support several quotes in the same line, whether "plaintext" lines with multiple tokens like CERTIDENT "My server" "Db Pass W0rd" or escaped inside single text tokens like desc = "A \"Dummy\" UPS" which NUT parser allows but augeas struggles with.

Hmm, maybe the much-hyped AI could suggest some options? :-D
