This change has been marked as submitted.


Review request for KDevelop, Aleix Pol Gonzalez and Sven Brauch.


Repository: kdevplatform


Description
-------

This patch adds a regex validation for the project name in the project creation dialog. The user can break KDevelop with an abnormal project name. The first attempt was to add a general regex, but this would be to static. So the idea and the following implementation is:

- If the project template file, for example 'cmake_plaincpp.kdevtemplate', provides a 'ValidProjectName' value, this value will be used. This value is a normal regex. For example 'ValidProjectName=^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z]+$' is a valid configuration
- If there is no 'ValidProjectName' value, kdevplatform will use a normal regex, in this case '^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_]+$'. With this fallback mode we can guarantee, that templates without a 'ValidProjectName' also have a validation.

If this patch gets accepted I will add this configuration to the templates provided by KDevelop. I will also write a (bigger) patch to add these feature in KAppTemplate - if wished.

Testing
-------

Testing was done under a Debian Testing and a Kubuntu 14.04 x64. The value check and fallback mode are working. More testing from other users is welcomed


Thanks,
