but you are removing the default functionality?

Yes :)... Since the users now have the opportunity to modify this settings before a share is created. i.e the user can see on the share creation menu, that an expiry date is required and can either allow the default or remove if not enforced.

Leaving this default functionality means, we always force shares to have expiry dates even when that's not the users intention.

The problem is that currently existing clients and app might rely on the default and not populate it via the UI or send it with each request.
So this is a breaking change that is impossible to discover and will lead to a lot of shares not expiring although they should.

I see. This breaking change is inevitable if we would solve #44219 though.

I am not sure but perhaps I could introduce checks for clients/app calls.

Another though is that Manager class is only part of the private API and maybe all we need to do is make sure the apps we maintain that uses the non public share interface are updated?

Another though is that Manager class is only part of the private API and maybe all we need to do is make sure the apps we maintain that uses the non public share interface are updated?

I meant apps like Android, iOS and our Desktop Client:

server/apps/files_sharing/lib/Controller/ShareAPIController.php

Line 574 in 490f545

string $expireDate = '',

server/apps/files_sharing/lib/Controller/ShareAPIController.php

Lines 648 to 656 in 490f545

//Expire date

if ($expireDate !== '') {

try {

$expireDateTime = $this->parseDate($expireDate);

$share->setExpirationDate($expireDateTime);

} catch (\Exception $e) {

throw new OCSNotFoundException($this->l->t('Invalid date, date format must be YYYY-MM-DD'));

}

}

That being said, the update also supports it, but basically you need to set it to '' (empty string) not null when updating a share and removing a expiration date.

Seems to work when updating, just not when creating, as the check is always executed then.
So instead of tampering with validateExpirationDateInternal like this, I would try to get the information into the share object that no expirationDate was sent and in

server/lib/private/Share20/Manager.php

Line 423 in ec5133b

if ($fullId === null && $expirationDate === null && $defaultExpireDate) {

instead of only checking $expirationDate === null you also check whether it was sent with the empty string, and only set the default date when it was not sent as empty string.

Thanks @nickvergessen resorted to something similar, makes plenty of sense.

- Verify that explicitly sending empty `expireDate` param to server overwrite default and sets not expiry date, if non is enforced. - Update tests to avoid converting empty string to date. Signed-off-by: fenn-cs <[email protected]>
