Fixed main-config resolution: config_format/flb_cf_fluentbit.c:445 only included files receive config-directory precedence.

Added a regression test using config/main.conf with a conflicting config/config/main.conf. It failed before the fix and passes afterward.

Verification: build passed, 10 focused CTest cases passed, and all 5 integration cases passed both normally and under strict Valgrind. No blockers.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Relative configuration files and Lua/WASM scripts now resolve consistently from the configuration file’s directory, rather than potentially using a same-named file in the working directory.
  • Improved handling of paths that cannot fit in the available buffer.
• Tests
  • Added coverage for configuration includes and Lua scripts when the configuration and working directories differ.

Walkthrough

The change adds a shared configuration-path resolver. Configuration readers and Lua, WASM, and FTS script loaders use it to select paths relative to the configuration file. New integration tests check include and script selection when matching files exist in both the configuration and working directories.

Changes: Configuration-relative paths

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared path resolver include/fluent-bit/flb_utils.h, src/flb_utils.c	Adds flb_utils_resolve_config_path. It preserves absolute paths, constructs a candidate beside conf_path, and returns the original path when the candidate is absent.
Configuration file path selection src/config_format/flb_cf_fluentbit.c, src/flb_lib.c, src/flb_parser.c, src/flb_plugin.c, src/flb_upstream_ha.c, src/stream_processor/flb_sp.c, tests/integration/scenarios/config_yaml/tests/test_config_classic_includes.py	Configuration file readers use the shared resolver. Integration tests check included-file selection and handling of a relative main-config path.
Plugin script path selection plugins/filter_lua/lua_config.c, plugins/filter_wasm/filter_wasm.c, plugins/processor_fts/fts.h, plugins/processor_fts/fts_runtime.c, tests/integration/scenarios/filter_lua/tests/test_filter_lua_001.py, tests/integration/scenarios/processor_fts/tests/test_fts.py	Lua, WASM, and FTS resolve script paths against the configuration path. Integration tests check that Lua and FTS use the script in the configuration directory.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 8e5db

A parser path could fail to load if supplied with a configuration directory lacking a trailing separator. Current runtime producers include the separator, so this does not appear to block merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names a real part of the change: a path-resolution fix for relative files that gives configuration-directory precedence. The changeset adds flb_utils_resolve_config_path and applies it across Lua, WASM, FTS, config loading, parser, plugin, upstream, and stream-processor code. The title is partly specific and partly jargon-heavy. It says 'shadowed relative files' and 'path-shadowing mitigation', which describes the intent but not the exact behavior, and it omits that the main configuration file keeps its existing resolution. Its wording is also not concise: it uses a 'utils: plugins:' prefix and a long phrase. A teammate scanning history would still learn the primary topic.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 53.33% 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 15 functions across 15 files.

Resolution

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

src/flb_parser.c: 1

1724-1724: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Reuse flb_utils_resolve_config_path() here instead of a second manual concatenation.

flb_parser_conf_file_stat() selects the path with the shared resolver. This line then rebuilds the same path with "%s%s". The resolver inserts a / when conf_path has no trailing separator. This snprintf does not.

If conf_path lacks a trailing separator, stat succeeds on dir/file and the function returns -2. This line then builds dirfile, and the load fails. Current producers of conf_path append the separator, so the failure is latent. The precedence rule now exists in two places that can diverge.

Resolve the path once in this function.

♻️ Proposed refactor

     else if (ret == -2) {
-        snprintf(tmp, sizeof(tmp), "%s%s", config->conf_path, file);
-        cfg = tmp;
+        cfg = (char *) flb_utils_resolve_config_path(file, config->conf_path,
+                                                     tmp, sizeof(tmp));
+        if (!cfg) {
+            return -1;
+        }
