A size setting that does not parse, such as chunk_size: banana, now fails with chunk_size: "banana" is not a size; use a number of bytes or a unit such as 10MB. Before, the error named neither the setting nor the value.

  • The size decoder quotes the value it could not read.
  • The YAML decoder does not pass the key to the size decoder. So Parse decodes each size setting itself, by its dotted name, in the config after ${...} references are filled in, right after the unknown-key check on that same copy. checkFilledKeys is renamed checkFilledConfig since it now does both.
  • This covers chunk_size, blob_size_limit, s3.part_size, a value filled in by a reference, and config set.

Judgement call: the error gives no line number. Values are checked only after references are filled in, since a reference is not a size until then, and that copy of the config has no line numbers.

A size setting that does not parse, such as `chunk_size: banana`, now fails with `chunk_size: "banana" is not a size; use a number of bytes or a unit such as 10MB`. Before, the error named neither the setting nor the value. - The size decoder quotes the value it could not read. - The YAML decoder does not pass the key to the size decoder. So `Parse` decodes each size setting itself, by its dotted name, in the config after `${...}` references are filled in, right after the unknown-key check on that same copy. `checkFilledKeys` is renamed `checkFilledConfig` since it now does both. - This covers `chunk_size`, `blob_size_limit`, `s3.part_size`, a value filled in by a reference, and `config set`.

FAIL (needs-rework)

  1. internal/config/size.go, ParseSize: every humanize.ParseBytes error now becomes is not a size; use a number of bytes or a unit such as 10MB, including its too-large error. That message is false for a value that is too large:

    • chunk_size: 100EB fails with chunk_size: "100EB" is not a size; .... On next it said too large: 100EB, and chunk_size: 10EB still says size exceeds maximum supported value.
    • chunk_size: 99999999999999999999 fails with chunk_size: "1e+20" is not a size; ..., quoting a value the file does not hold.

    Acceptable: every value too large for a size fails with errSizeTooLarge and the setting name. One way is to parse with humanize.ParseBigBytes and compare with the int64 maximum, and to check a number YAML reads as a float against that maximum before trying it as a string. Add both values as test cases.

  2. internal/config/size.go, checkSizes: the comment on the //nolint:nilerr return says a SettingType error can only mean the env section. A value of the wrong shape also gets there, such as hostname: {a: 1} or a map inside exclude; the YAML decoder reports those later. Acceptable: the comment names both cases.

**FAIL** (`needs-rework`) 1. `internal/config/size.go`, `ParseSize`: every `humanize.ParseBytes` error now becomes `is not a size; use a number of bytes or a unit such as 10MB`, including its too-large error. That message is false for a value that is too large: - `chunk_size: 100EB` fails with `chunk_size: "100EB" is not a size; ...`. On `next` it said `too large: 100EB`, and `chunk_size: 10EB` still says `size exceeds maximum supported value`. - `chunk_size: 99999999999999999999` fails with `chunk_size: "1e+20" is not a size; ...`, quoting a value the file does not hold. Acceptable: every value too large for a size fails with `errSizeTooLarge` and the setting name. One way is to parse with `humanize.ParseBigBytes` and compare with the int64 maximum, and to check a number YAML reads as a float against that maximum before trying it as a string. Add both values as test cases. 2. `internal/config/size.go`, `checkSizes`: the comment on the `//nolint:nilerr` return says a `SettingType` error can only mean the `env` section. A value of the wrong shape also gets there, such as `hostname: {a: 1}` or a map inside `exclude`; the YAML decoder reports those later. Acceptable: the comment names both cases. Model: opus-5-5

For the reworker: fix the two findings of #452 (comment) as their "Acceptable" lines say, and change nothing else. Rebase onto current origin/next, run make fmt and make check, push with --force-with-lease, and reply here with one line per finding.

For the next reviewer: check those two findings against the rework, and anything the rework broke.

A size setting such as chunk_size: banana failed with "invalid size
format: strconv.ParseFloat: parsing "": invalid syntax", naming neither
the setting nor the value. The size decoder now quotes the value, and
Parse checks every size setting after ${...} references are filled in,
so the error reads chunk_size: "banana" is not a size; use a number of
bytes or a unit such as 10MB. This covers chunk_size, blob_size_limit
and s3.part_size, and config set. A value too large for a size, such as
100EB or 99999999999999999999, fails as too large, naming the setting.

Rework of #452 (comment), rebased onto next as c9f3667:

  1. Fixed as suggested: ParseSize uses humanize.ParseBigBytes with an int64 check, and UnmarshalYAML refuses a float above the int64 maximum before trying it as a string; 100EB and 99999999999999999999 are test cases. Judgement call: the second error names no value, since the filled-in config holds 1e+20, not the file's text. Side effect: ParseBigBytes knows ZB, YB, RB and QB, so 1ZB now fails as too large instead of as not a size.
  2. Fixed: the comment names both cases, the env section and a value of the wrong shape, such as a map given for hostname or inside exclude.

PASS: a size setting that is not a size, or is too large, now fails at load naming the setting, and both findings of #452 (comment) are fixed.
