Jira (PUP-8561) Augeas unable to handle escaped quotes within quotes

[Russell Knighton (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Russell Knighton created an issue   Puppet / PUP-8561 Augeas unable to handle escaped quotes within quotes Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2018/03/20 7:48 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Russell Knighton Puppet Version: 5.4.0 Puppet Server Version: 5.2.0 OS Name/Version: CentOS 7.4.1708 I am unable to find a way to set the "log_format" variable in nginx.conf using augeas. The problem seems to be the combination of quotes within quotes just doesn't seem to be possible. The desired value I am trying to set exactly is: timed_combined '$remote_addr - $remote_user $http_x_unit_id [$time_local] "$request" $status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" "$http_user_agent" $request_time $upstream_response_time $pipe' Take careful note that I need to have the long single quoted string, but that this contains some double quoted strings. I have tried every possible combination I can think of for enclosing in single or double quoted strings in and for escaping then, but I have not successfully managed to set exactly what is required. I have tried so many different possible ways over the last 2 days that I am now convinced I haven't missed something and that this has to be a bug. The most logical combination of options that I have tried are: Set-up the log_format value: $use_log_format_tmp = "timed_combined '$remote_addr - $remote_user $http_x_unit_id [$time_local] \"$request\" $status $body_bytes_sent \"$http_referer\" \"$http_user_agent\" $request_time $upstream_response_time $pipe'" Describe steps to reproduce… Desired Behavior: Actual Behavior: Please take a moment and attach any relevant log output and/or manifests. This will help us immensely when troubleshooting the issue. Examples: Run puppet agent with --test --trace --debug Relevant sections of /var/log/puppetlabs/puppetserver/puppetserver.log or any applicable logs from the same directory. For more detailed information turn up the server logs by upping the log level in the server's logback.xml Relevant sections of configurations files (puppet.conf, hiera.conf, Server's conf.d, defaults/sysconfig) For memory issues with server heap dumps are also helpful.
