Re: Zenmap 7.40: Trying to add new profile

[Daniel Miller <bonsaiviking () gmail com>]

Vincent,

Thanks for the report. This is an avoidable error, but I also added some
code in r36619 that will prevent it from crashing Zenmap in the future. The
problem is that your profile's description is followed by an unparseable
line. When this happens, the description is returned as a list instead of
as a string, and parsing of the config file stops. Its only later that the
list is used as an input to set_text() and causes the exception to be
thrown.

So the real fix is to fix the syntax of your config file. In particular,
the description should either be all on one line or wrapped with leading
whitespace:

description = This is ok, even if the line is really long.

description = This is not ok because
this line breaks the parsing.

description = This is ok because
 the next line starts with whitespace.
