Description

Trying to set complex Foreman parameters (i.e. arrays or hashes) using foreman-rake results in various errors, i.e.

[root@foreman ~]# foreman-rake -- config -k trusted_puppetmaster_hosts -v '[ "foo.bar.com", "foo.baz.org" ]'
rake aborted!
A JSON text must at least contain two octets!

Tasks: TOP => config
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Another variant:

[root@foreman ~]# foreman-rake -- config -k trusted_puppetmaster_hosts -v '["foo.bar.com", "foo.baz.org"]'       
rake aborted!
387: unexpected token at 'foo.bar.com,'

Tasks: TOP => config
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Revision bea14a70 (diff)

fixes #11275, #11170 - pass spaces/quotes in args through SCL wrappers

Changes the ruby193/SCL wrappers to create a temporary file containing
all original arguments from the ruby193-* command and then executes it
via "scl enable". This fixes two quoting-related bugs with these
wrappers.

1. #11170: the "scl enable" command has a bug (RHBZ#1248418) where it
internally uses temporary shell scripts and doesn't escape double
quotes, so JSON strings can't be passed through as arguments.
2. #11275: the ruby-wrappers passed through arguments word-by-word,
causing arguments containing spaces to be split up. It should have
used the special quoted "$@" variable.

Revision e28614c0 (diff)
Added by Dominic Cleal almost 8 years ago

fixes #11170 - pass quoted args through foreman-rake

Use the special "$@" to correctly pass quoted arguments through
foreman-rake, through su and to the underlying rake command. Ensures
the JSON in this command is unharmed:

foreman-rake config -- -k trusted_puppetmaster_hosts -v '["foo.bar.com"]'

Also swallows the "--" which gets passed through on some versions of
rake.

History

#1 Updated by Dominic Cleal almost 8 years ago

This works on a dev installation, so I'm pretty sure it's a combination of foreman-rake and ruby193-rake, which both use double quoted strings with su etc to pass commands through.

#2 Updated by The Foreman Bot almost 8 years ago

#3 Updated by Robert Rauch almost 8 years ago

I have provided a PR, which should fix it, as far as the foreman-rake wrapper is concerned. The same issue applies to the ruby193-rake wrapper, which apperently is in use on some Systems (like Centos7). I guess the ruby193-rake wrapper is not controlled by the Foreman guys, so this should probably get fixed upstream.

#4 Updated by Dominic Cleal almost 8 years ago

We actually adopted the ruby193 wrappers as they were removed from SCLs, so the source is over here now: https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-packaging/tree/rpm/develop/ruby-wrapper

I happened to fix this in an unmerged refactoring (https://github.com/theforeman/foreman-packaging/pull/249/files#diff-2092b3ff9c37e1fddb7536cd9beec494R161), so I can reapply my fix to the current version so we have both instances working.

#5 Updated by Dominic Cleal almost 8 years ago

There's a further issue affecting SCL OSes in scl-utils itself: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1248418, so this will only fix it completely for the others. Once that's fixed we'll also need the fix to the ruby193-esque wrappers.
