The Python function
subprocess.call()
does not raise an exception when the command returns a non-zero exit code, i.e. it fails. This function is used in four places, but the most critical one issubprocess.call(["/usr/bin/ditto", f, f_in_image])
. If not enough space is allocated for the.dmg
, this command will fail and output to stderr,Because the return code of this call is not validated, dmgbuild continues merrily, which can cause a broken release when happening as a part of a deployment process.
Replace all
subprocess.call()
functions withsubprocess.check_call()
to ensure that an error like this raises an exception and causes the process to fail.subprocess.check_call()
is already used in other places in the code.
