Issue #1630 has been updated by jamtur01. Category set to exec Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs design decision Assigned to set to luke
---------------------------------------- Feature #1630: exec type should allow passing of arguments as an array rather than a string http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/show/1630 Author: emerose Status: Needs design decision Priority: Normal Assigned to: luke Category: exec Target version: Complexity: Unknown Affected version: 0.24.4 Keywords: The exec type takes commands and arguments as a string, (@"echo foo"@) which will then get passed to /bin/sh (@sh -c "echo foo"@) by Kernel#system. This can make things pretty awkward if the command you're trying to execute contains shell metacharacters or quotes of its own, and under appropriately pathological conditions could even be a security problem... (username '"&&rm -rf /' or something? *shrug*) It'd be grand if the exec type would support passing things around as arrays. eg: <pre> exec {"example": command => "/bin/echo", arguments => ["*", "yay", "*"], } </pre> (Passing an array to Kernel#system bypasses the shell completely: http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Kernel.html#M005982) -sq ---------------------------------------- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
