Bug ID: 15335 Summary: Environment variables in remote host's path do not resolve properly Product: rsync Version: 3.2.0 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P5 Component: core Assignee: wa...@opencoder.net Reporter: ryan.lar...@infinitetactics.com QA Contact: rsync...@samba.org Target Milestone: --- We've had an rsync command that has worked for quite a while (1+ years), but suddenly started getting errors after we upgraded rsync from version 3.2.3 to 3.2.7. I'm not sure exactly which minor release broke our expectation of how environment variables are used in remote host paths, but there certainly seems to be some major change. See the example command below in which we were protecting the remote environment variable with single quotes to ensure it resolved on the remote host and not locally. I was able to reliable reproduce this issue with 3.2.7 and show that the command worked with 3.2.3. Example Command: rsync -rl /home/user/test_dir 'user@hostname:$PROJECTS_HOME/INFINITE' 3.2.7 -> rsync: mkdir "/p/home/rlarson/$PROJECTS_HOME/INFINITE" failed: No such file or directory 3.2.3 -> successful rsync A few notes: 1. The env var and path does exist on remote system 2. "/p/home/rlarson" is my $HOME dir on remote system 3. Both source and dest OS are Linux Anything else I can add to help troubleshoot this issue please let me know. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
