From cc9eceb00d9025d454663857cc03379427023ad8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brendan Abolivier Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2020 15:01:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Don't crash when one of the configuration files is empty (#7341) If the admin adds a `.yaml` file that's either empty or doesn't parse into a dict to a config directory (e.g. `conf.d` for debs installs), stuff like https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/7322 would happen. This PR checks that the file is correctly parsed into a dict, or ignores it with a warning if it parses into any other type (including `None` for empty files).
