When the watched directory cannot be read, GET /monitoring/configs returns the wrapped filesystem error, including the server path and OS error. Return a fixed error message and keep the detailed error in server logs. The HTTP 400 status, JSON fields and successful listing response remain unchanged.

Adds regression coverage for successful listing, a missing directory and a path that is not a directory. The failure cases reproduced the disclosure before the fix.

Validation: go test -race ./reload/..., go vet ./reload/..., and a CGO_ENABLED=0 reloader build passed.

Helix security issue: 3c751002-8829-47ba-aaf8-d89fb80cbec9.

Compatibility: callers matching the previous raw error text will now receive cannot list configs; the bundled UI does not depend on that text.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Configuration listing failures now return a consistent “cannot list configs” message instead of exposing underlying error details. This makes failure responses clearer and avoids displaying technical error information. Successful configuration listings continue to return the expected filename.

Walkthrough

ListConfigs now logs errors from failed configuration listings and returns the fixed message "cannot list configs". Tests cover successful listing and failure responses.

Changes: Config Listing Error Response

Layer / File(s) Summary
Listing response and tests
reload/server/bizlogic/server.go, reload/server/bizlogic/server_test.go
ListConfigs logs the underlying error and returns "cannot list configs" when listing fails. Tests cover a valid directory, a missing directory, and a file path.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: qiffang, liubog2008

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to e1719

The change hides filesystem error details from config-listing responses while retaining server diagnostics. The missing logging assertion is a nonblocking test improvement; the change is mergeable after normal checks.

Explanation

The title "fix(reloader): redact config listing errors" matches the main change. The PR changes ListConfigs in reload/server/bizlogic/server.go to log the underlying error and return the fixed message "cannot list configs" instead of the raw error text. The added TestListConfigsResponse test covers the successful listing and the failure cases. The title is specific, short, and uses the conventional prefix format.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 1 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

A steady message guards the board.

Assert the detailed error log.

The failure cases check only the HTTP response. If ListConfigs stops logging the underlying error, this test will still pass. Capture the log and assert that it contains the directory and failure details.
