Cloudinary Test Cloud returns invalid Public IDs

[chrissnyder2337]

Bug report for Cloudinary CLI

This is not necessarily an issue with the Cloudinary CLI itself, but with the test cloud it runs against.

Describe the bug in a sentence or two.

I found that the Test cloud returns invalid/inconsistent public ids for assets, especially when compared to running the same commands against a real Cloudinary account/enviroment. This impacts the ability to write accurate tests. I experienced this while trying to write tests for #63 .

Issue Type (Can be multiple)

• Build - Cannot install or import the SDK
• Performance - Performance issues
• Behaviour - Functions are not working as expected (such as generate URL)
• Documentation - Inconsistency between the docs and behaviour
• Other (Cloudinary Cloud)

Steps to reproduce

1. Run the test_cli_upload_dir command using the test Cloudinary environment (provided by running ./tools/get_test_cloud.sh). Note the command's output (by dumping/inspecting output.result).:

3. Compare and note that the test cloud environment returns different Public IDs. Sometimes invalid. For example, note how the characters ), (, +, (spaces) in the file names are treated differently by each environment.

With some additional testing, I found that the Cloudinary test cloud is also returning invalid Public IDs with the following characters: <, &, #, ?.

[PixelCook]

Hey Chris,

I don't see any upload failures and I couldn't find any examples of assets with unpermitted characters in your DAM. Are you receiving any error messages from Cloudinary?

[chrissnyder2337]

@PixelCook

That is because the issue is with the Test Cloud, not my DAM. The test cloud is used when running python unit tests within the ci runners.

I have added steps to reproduce in the issue description.

@chrissnyder2337 , there is this support post:
https://support.cloudinary.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001317409--Legal-naming-conventions

Nothing to do with the CLI.

[chrissnyder2337]

Yes this is not an issue with the CLI, it is an issue with the test cloud that the CLI uses. That is what I am trying to point out. The "test cloud" is returning illegal public ids, and does not match what a real Cloudinary cloud account would return. This impacts the CLI development because the "test cloud", used by tests in this project, is returning illegal public ids, and does not match what a real Cloudinary cloud account would return. This impacts the ability to write accurate tests.

There may be another project/place that this issue could be moved to.

@chrissnyder2337 Would you mind sharing the cloud name for both your production and test accounts? Thanks

[Vdeub-cloudinary]

@chrissnyder2337 For security reasons, I had to delete your comment as you added your credentials and especially the API_SECRET. I got the information needed and I'll have a deeper look.

[Vdeub-cloudinary]

@chrissnyder2337 @const-cloudinary - it seems the test clouds are using custom flags that are not used by classic accounts. Especially, the test clouds were configured to allow specific characters in a public_id. I believe that's why there was a difference
