parseTags remembers the first url.QueryUnescape failure in its named return err and continues to the next pair. The next successfully parsed pair then runs if err = tags.set(...), which assigns nil back to err and drops the recorded failure. So the whole string is accepted and the undecodable tag is silently omitted:

tags.ParseObjectTags("key1=%zz&key2=value2") // returns Tags{key2=value2}, nil

The code before the assignment (keep the first error and continue) shows the intent is to report it. This stores the result of set in the existing err1 instead, so a stored error survives to return err. A set failure is still returned immediately as before.

I added a TestParseTags case for the input above, expecting an error.

I couldn't run the Go toolchain locally, so I ran the checks on a fork:

  • Test only, without the fix: Build (Linux) fails on both Go 1.26.x and 1.27.x with tags_test.go:103: Expected failure but found success and --- FAIL: TestParseTags/key1=%zz&key2=value2.
  • Test with the fix: Build (Linux) passes on both versions, including --- PASS: TestParseTags/key1=%zz&key2=value2. The Windows, RDMA and VulnCheck runs on that branch also pass.

The commit in this PR is the squashed form of the fix branch (identical tree).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Malformed URL-encoded tag input now returns an error without reporting partially parsed tags. Errors from decoding valid portions of the input are also preserved when no tag-setting failure occurs.

Walkthrough

parseTags now returns immediately when tags.set fails. A new test checks that an invalid escape followed by a valid pair returns an error and leaves the tag count at zero.

Changes: Tag Parsing Errors

Layer / File(s) Summary
Return tag-setting errors immediately
pkg/tags/tags.go, pkg/tags/tags_test.go
parseTags returns the error from tags.set immediately. The test checks that an invalid escape followed by a valid pair causes parsing to fail with zero tags.

The change fixes lost invalid-escape errors. Additional key-escape test coverage is recommended, but no concrete merge-blocking issue remains.

Nitpick Cover the invalid key-escape error path in TestParseTags.

74-74: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Cover the invalid key-escape error path in TestParseTags.

The only escape-error case uses an invalid escape in a value. The key branch at pkg/tags/tags.go:393-399 keeps its error the same way. No test covers that branch. If a change drops the stored key error, the suite can still pass. A key escape followed by a valid pair tests that the error survives the later successful assignment.

Suggested test case
 		{
 			// An invalid escape must not be forgotten when a later pair is valid.
 			"key1=%zz&key2=value2",
 			true,
 			0,
 		},
+		{
+			"key%zz=value1&key2=value2",
+			true,
+			0,
+		},

Add a case to TestParseTags with an invalid escape in a key followed by a valid
pair, and assert that parsing still reports an error after the later assignment.
Keep the case consistent with the existing test table.

Thanks for the approval, @klauspost! The four failing jobs look like runner problems rather than this change:

  • Test on Go 1.27.x and ubuntu-latest failed in Build on ubuntu-latest while installing packages with apt: Temporary failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com'. The Go 1.26.x job was cancelled along with it.
  • Both Build with -tags=rdma against minio-cpp jobs failed in Install system dependencies, before any Go code was built. Another PR's RDMA run failed at the same step that afternoon.

This PR only touches pkg/tags/tags.go and its test. Could you re-run the failed jobs when you have a moment? Thanks!
