This is a backport of PR #7125 as merged into main (7721420).
In file: oci_utils.py, there are several places in the code where the comparison of Collection length creates a logical short circuit. The way the Collection length is checked (e.g.,
len(t) >= 0
) always returns true. I suggested that the Collection length comparison should be done without creating a logical short circuit. This should be reviewed to verify that the spirit of the original code has been kept by the change.Sponsorship and Support:
