My bad, I tend to forget about windows but I would like my program to run on windows too (there is no reason it couldn't apart from this specific issue).
If you *really* want the program to run deterministically for all users, you also need a "disable the user's personal configuration" option.
I am inspired by the www.nixos.org philosophy which ensures reproducibility by being as explicit as possible. In my case, I try to specify as much as I can when calling tshark so I am not too worried about any .config/wireshark/config interference.
you want a "disable all user plugins" option.
To sum up, yes. Might make sense to have a flag for lua and another for C modules or some kind of enum. Le mar. 2 juil. 2019 à 15:15, Guy Harris <guy () alum mit edu> a écrit :

I had not really thought about compiled plugins but that's the same issue, these optional modules may alter the way my program expects tshark to behave.I.e., you want a "disable all user plugins" option. If you *really* want the program to run deterministically for all users, you also need a "disable the user's personal configuration" option.I believe for my usecase, the best is to wrap the tshark call with an XDG_CONFIG_HOME pointing nowhere or to a vanilla wireshark config. Not sure if there is any difficulty though, I will have a try.As long as the "other computers" aren't running Windows, where XDG_CONFIG_HOME has no effect.... ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
