----------------------------------------
Summary: escaping pystachio variable strings is insane
Key: AURORA-1738
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AURORA-1738
Project: Aurora
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Client
Affects Versions: 0.12.0, 0.15.0
Reporter: Benjamin Staffin
Priority: Minor
If you want to include the bare string {{{{.Foo}}}} in a job's cmdline, you
currently have to do this: {{{{&&&&&&&&&&&&.Foo}}}} - that's twelve ampersands,
which is clearly not ideal.
The pystachio parser nominally uses {{{{&foo}}}} to escape {{{{foo}}}}, so I
guess that parser must get applied at least 11 times between the CLI tool
reading the file and the runner actually launching processes.
{{MustacheParser.split()}} has a {{keep_aliases}} parameter that tells it not
to remove & characters in its output. Perhaps there is a way to enable that
for all but the very last round of pystachio parsing?
