Using the attachment plugin, when filecheck was checking the mime-type of the attachment before allowing the attachment to be removed, it was returning with an error saying that the mime-type of the file was "unknown" (when the mime-type definitely was known!) It turns out that the filecheck plugin couldn't find the file, because it was merely using the $pagesources hash, rather than finding the absolute path of the file in question. The following patch fixes the problem: diff --git a/IkiWiki/Plugin/filecheck.pm b/IkiWiki/Plugin/filecheck.pm index 01d4909..1cec0cf 100644 --- a/IkiWiki/Plugin/filecheck.pm +++ b/IkiWiki/Plugin/filecheck.pm @@ -118,6 +118,10 @@ sub match_mimetype ($$;@) { if (! defined $file) { return IkiWiki::ErrorReason->new("no file specified"); } + if (! -e $file) { + # get the absolute path of the file if you can't find it + $file = IkiWiki::srcfile($file); + } # Use ::magic to get the mime type, the idea is to only trust # data obtained by examining the actual file contents.
