From 7e07d25ed64e6af403dd508a2b5226e8d18fc1ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard van der Hoff Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2018 10:41:45 +0100 Subject: Allow backslashes in event field filters Fixes a bug introduced in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/1783 which meant that single backslashes were not allowed in event field filters. The intention here is to allow single-backslashes, but disallow double-backslashes. --- synapse/api/filtering.py | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'synapse/api') diff --git a/synapse/api/filtering.py b/synapse/api/filtering.py index eed8c67e6a..677c0bdd4c 100644 --- a/synapse/api/filtering.py +++ b/synapse/api/filtering.py @@ -172,7 +172,10 @@ USER_FILTER_SCHEMA = { # events a lot easier as we can then use a negative lookbehind # assertion to split '\.'
