Service crash when returning array of dictionary

[Olivier Le Thanh Duong]

I implemented an exported object possessing several standard dbus properties, one of theses properties is a Dictionnary of < string, Dictionnary of <string, object> when I query this property via GetAll it return without problem when I do a Get on this particular property it doesn't respond and the whole service seems to have crashed.

See attached test case which you can compile with :
gmcs \
  -debug \
  -out:TestService.exe \
  -target:exe\
  -r:Mono.Posix \
  `pkg-config --libs ndesk-dbus-1.0 ndesk-dbus-glib-1.0` \
  -pkg:gtk-sharp-2.0 \
  TestExport.cs \

Output:
$ dbus-send --print-reply --dest="org.ndesk.gtest" "/org/ndesk/test" "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll" string:"org.ndesk.gtest"
method return sender=:1.585 -> dest=:1.586 reply_serial=2
   array [
      dict entry(
         string "HandlerChannelFilter"
         variant array [
               array [
                  dict entry(
                     string "TargetHandleType"
                     variant int32 1
                  )
                  dict entry(
                     string "ContentType"
                     variant string "application/x-note"
                  )
               ]
            ]
      )
   ]

$ dbus-send --print-reply --dest="org.ndesk.gtest" "/org/ndesk/test" "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get" string:"org.ndesk.gtest" string:"HandlerChannelFilter"
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

$ dbus-send --print-reply --dest="org.ndesk.gtest" "/org/ndesk/test" "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll" string:"org.ndesk.gtest"
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.ndesk.gtest was not provided by any .service files

Also I noticed that when FileTransferFilter is empty both method make the service crash

Sorry small mistake it's obviously not a Dictionary of Dictonary but an array of dictionary

[Olivier Le Thanh Duong (olethanh)]

I managed to refine my test case, this happen with all method returning an array of dictionary but not when that array is included in another container. This has nothing to do with property so renaming the bug

[Olivier Le Thanh Duong (olethanh)]

Test it with: dbus-send --print-reply --dest="org.ndesk.gtest" "/org/ndesk/test" "org.ndesk.gtest.Get"

This was already fixed in Git

Ah, this is probably fixed by the same fix as bug #385254.
