Issue #14060 has been updated by Daniel Pittman. Status changed from Unreviewed to In Topic Branch Pending Review Target version set to 2.7.x
https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/698 has the fix for this. ---------------------------------------- Bug #14060: exec shell provider does "unexpected" shell quoting https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14060#change-61101 Author: Matthew Byng-Maddick Status: In Topic Branch Pending Review Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: exec Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: 2.7.13 Keywords: exec shell provider Branch: The shell provider for the exec resource type (`puppet/provider/exec/shell.rb`) claims that it tries to mirror the behaviour of the 0.25.x series of (un-provider-ed) exec types. Simply put, it doesn't. It wraps what is supplied in the command in *double* quotes ("") meaning that expansions of $ and \ take place at the wrong level, and only substitutes out " with \" It currently does: <pre> def run(command, check = false) command = %Q{/bin/sh -c "#{command.gsub(/"/,'\"')}"} super(command, check) end </pre> But should actually do: <pre> def run(command, check = false) command = %Q{/bin/sh -c '#{command.gsub(/'/,"'\"'\"'")}'} super(command, check) end </pre> Principle of least surprise and all... -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
