#13886 closed Bug (fixed)

Invalid handling of CKEDITOR.style instance with "styles" property by CKEDITOR.filter

Reported by: Olek Nowodziński Owned by: kkrzton
Priority: Normal Milestone: CKEditor 4.5.9
Component: General Version: 4.5.5
Keywords: Drupal Cc: wim.leers@…

Description

A followup of https://www.drupal.org/node/2598070.

Revealed by http://cgit.drupalcode.org/drupal/commit/?id=cea9c14, which was meant to fix https://www.drupal.org/node/2589779.

Steps to reproduce

  1. For a given filter
    var filter = new CKEDITOR.filter( 'a {color}' );
    
  2. Define a style with styles: {}. Like
    var style = new CKEDITOR.style( { element: 'a', styles: {} } )
    
  3. Check in in the filter.
    filter.check( style );
    

Expected result

Check passes.

Actual result

Check fails. But if defined a key in styles it will pass.

var style = new CKEDITOR.style( { element: 'a', styles: { color: 'red' } } );
filter.check( style ) -> true.

Also if removed styles key from definition it will pass.

var style = new CKEDITOR.style( { element: 'a' } );
filter.check( style ) -> true.

Ideas

Something could be wrong with https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor-dev/blob/7856fe93f844be5053fa62cad1ece1ba6fc8635b/core/filter.js#L996-L1017.

If my lengthy explanation in https://www.drupal.org/node/2598070#comment-10523740 stands up to scrutiny, we won't be needing this fix in a hurry (because it won't be causing a huge bug in Drupal 8 anymore). Rather, it'd make more sense to look at this as just one part of #13898.

Changes in t/13886.

var style = new CKEDITOR.style( { element: 'a' } )
var style = new CKEDITOR.style( { element: 'a', styles: {} } )

Empty styles attr is removed during CKEDITOR.style instance creation. Both lines above behaves the same, creating equal instances.

Branch rebased on current master.

There's an issue with the current implementation, that the client-provided definition will not be preserved (styles property might get removed, even though explicitly added).

This will cause a regression in following case:

// Plugin A defines a style which is about to be applied. This style could get modified by other plugins using event.

var newStyle = new CKEditor.style( {
		element: 'h1',
		styles: {}
	} );

if ( plugin.fire( 'applyStyle' ) !== false ) {
	editor.applyStyle( newStyle );
}

// Plugin B listens on this event and modifies the definition.

editor.pluginA.on( 'applyStyle', function( evt ) {
	evt.data.getDefinition().styles.color = 'red';
} );

// Plugin C also listens to this event.

editor.pluginA.on( 'applyStyle', function( evt ) {
	evt.data.getDefinition().styles[ 'font-size' ] = '24px';
} );

In order to avoid breaking code it would require client code to do an extra check, like so:

editor.pluginA.on( 'applyStyle', function( evt ) {
	var def = evt.data.getDefinition();

	if ( def.styles ) {
		def.styles[ 'font-size' ] = '24px';
	} else {
		def.styles = {
			'font-size': = '24px'
		};
	}
} );

Could we improve it in a way so that it doesn't modify the definition? Fixing style if in filter.js mockElementFromStyle seems to do the trick.

Yay!

Would it be worth for Drupal to add back the styles: {} declarations it removed? See https://www.drupal.org/node/2598070#comment-11047329

@Wim Leers it's really up to you what's more comfortable with you at this point :)
