fix: accept numeric-string size on issue attachment upload - #9911
Conversation
- Clients may send `size` as a numeric string like "53314". It was passed straight to `min(size, FILE_SIZE_LIMIT)`, which raised TypeError and returned HTTP 500. - Coerce `size` to int and fall back to 0 on bad input, so a non-numeric value gets a 400 instead of a crash. - Add contract tests for the string-size and non-numeric-size cases.

Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughIssue attachment creation now parses submitted sizes as integers. It rejects requests with a missing filename or a parsed size of zero or less. Contract tests cover numeric strings, invalid values, non-positive sizes, and overflow-sized JSON numbers.

Priority: ⬇️ Low Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Change: Bug fix Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Fractional attachment sizes are silently rounded down, so stored size and upload limits can differ from the submitted value. Ordinary integral sizes are unaffected, but rejecting fractions would preserve the documented request contract.

- int("-1") passed `if not size` and signed an S3 policy of [1, -1].
- JSON 1e400 parses as inf, and int() raised OverflowError (HTTP 500).
- Treat both as invalid input and cover them in the contract tests.

Reject fractional attachment sizes instead of truncating them.
The endpoint documents size as an integer number of bytes, but post() applies int() directly to the raw JSON value. A request with size: 1.9 becomes 1. The endpoint stores that value and uses it as the S3 upload limit. Reject fractional numeric values with HTTP 400 while preserving integral numeric strings.
Suggested fix
+ raw_size = request.data.get("size") or 0
try:
- size = int(request.data.get("size") or 0)
+ if isinstance(raw_size, float) and not raw_size.is_integer():
+ raise ValueError
+ size = int(raw_size)
except (TypeError, ValueError, OverflowError):
