exec component fails after receiving empty output -------------------------------------------------
Key: CAMEL-2687 URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/CAMEL-2687 Project: Apache Camel Issue Type: Bug Components: camel-core Affects Versions: 2.3.0 Environment: windows XP, jdk 1.6 Reporter: Chuck Adams I have a simple route here: {quote} public void configure() { from("timer://foo?period=5000") .to("C:/apps/putty/plink.exe?args=cad...@labmachine -i C:/apps/putty/priv/chuck.ppk \"ls /tmp/foo\"") .to("log:experiments.cameltest"); } {quote} This just runs a dummy command on a remote machine every five seconds. Normally it has no problems as long as /tmp/foo has contents. For example, I create 'bar' and 'baz' files, and the log reflects this: {quote} [ main] DefaultCamelContext INFO Apache Camel 2.3-SNAPSHOT (CamelContext: camelContext) started in 734 millis [ foo] ExecProducer INFO Executing ExecCommand [args=[cad...@labmachine, -i, C:/apps/putty/priv/chuck.ppk, ls /tmp/foo], executable=C:/apps/putty/PLINK.EXE, timeout=9223372036854775807, outFile=null, workingDir=null] [ foo] ExecProducer INFO The command ExecCommand [args=[cad...@labmachine, -i, C:/apps/putty/priv/chuck.ppk, ls /tmp/foo], executable=C:/apps/putty/PLINK.EXE, timeout=9223372036854775807, outFile=null, workingDir=null] had exit value 0 [ foo] cameltest INFO Exchange[ExchangePattern:InOnly, BodyType:org.apache.camel.component.exec.ExecResult, Body:bar baz blah ] [ foo] ExecProducer INFO Executing ExecCommand [args=[cad...@spamlab-bizintel-corpus01.eng.symantec.com, -i, C:/apps/putty/priv/chuck.ppk, ls /tmp/foo], executable=C:/apps/putty/PLINK.EXE, timeout=9223372036854775807, outFile=null, workingDir=null] [ foo] ExecProducer INFO The command ExecCommand [args=[cad...@spamlab-bizintel-corpus01.eng.symantec.com, -i, C:/apps/putty/priv/chuck.ppk, ls /tmp/foo], executable=C:/apps/putty/PLINK.EXE, timeout=9223372036854775807, outFile=null, workingDir=null] had exit value 0 [ foo] cameltest INFO Exchange[ExchangePattern:InOnly, BodyType:org.apache.camel.component.exec.ExecResult, Body:bar baz blah ] {quote} And so on.... But if I delete both files, this is what happens: {quote} [ foo] ExecProducer INFO Executing ExecCommand [args=[cad...@labmachine, -i, C:/apps/putty/priv/chuck.ppk, ls /tmp/foo], executable=C:/apps/putty/PLINK.EXE, timeout=9223372036854775807, outFile=null, workingDir=null] [ foo] ExecProducer INFO The command ExecCommand [args=[cad...@labmachine, -i, C:/apps/putty/priv/chuck.ppk, ls /tmp/foo], executable=C:/apps/putty/PLINK.EXE, timeout=9223372036854775807, outFile=null, workingDir=null] had exit value 0 [ foo] ExecResultConverter WARN Received null stdout of the ExecResult for conversion! [ foo] DefaultTypeConverter WARN Overriding type converter from: StaticMethodTypeConverter: public static java.lang.String org.apache.camel.component.exec.ExecResultConverter.convertToString(org.apache.camel.component.exec.ExecResult,org.apache.camel.Exchange) throws java.io.FileNotFoundException to: org.apache.camel.impl.converter.tostringtypeconver...@1e3d24a [ foo] cameltest INFO Exchange[ExchangePattern:InOnly, BodyType:org.apache.camel.component.exec.ExecResult, Body:org.apache.camel.component.exec.execres...@d767dc] {quote} And from that point on, even if I add files to the directory again, I get nothing back, just the following log section over and over. It seems that the behavior of suddenly switching the converter to ToStringTypeConverter had the effect of suppressing all output for good. {quote} [ foo] ExecProducer INFO Executing ExecCommand [args=[cad...@labmachine, -i, C:/apps/putty/priv/chuck.ppk, ls /tmp/foo], executable=C:/apps/putty/PLINK.EXE, timeout=9223372036854775807, outFile=null, workingDir=null] [ foo] ExecProducer INFO The command ExecCommand [args=[cad...@labmachine, -i, C:/apps/putty/priv/chuck.ppk, ls /tmp/foo], executable=C:/apps/putty/PLINK.EXE, timeout=9223372036854775807, outFile=null, workingDir=null] had exit value 0 [ foo] cameltest INFO Exchange[ExchangePattern:InOnly, BodyType:org.apache.camel.component.exec.ExecResult, Body:org.apache.camel.component.exec.execres...@3aacb4] {quote} This behavior is certainly unexpected and undesireable. I've been working around this by making my remote script always produce some dummy output when they otherwise have nothing to return, but any workaround I could use on the Camel side pending a more permanent fix would be very much appreciated. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
