Does it make the same output if you pass an empty string? (Name='')

Comment 3 Petr Sklenar 2013-08-30 08:55:21 UTC

(In reply to Roman Rakus from comment #2)
> Does it make the same output if you pass an empty string? (Name='')
Actually its not about empty string but null string:

>>> account2a = account2.CreateAccount(Name='', System=cs)
>>> account2a
LMIReturnValue(rval=-1, rparams={}, errorstr=u"CIM_ERR_FAILED: Error creating group: unknown error\n: 'CreateAccount'")
>>> account2a = account2.CreateAccount(Name=chr(0), System=cs)
### here it stucks

There could be 'error unknown' or better "Error creating group: name contains invalid char."

The main: it shouldn't stuck with bugfix.

Comment 4 Roman Rakus 2013-08-30 12:46:17 UTC

Looks like it does not go into provider, it is stuck in the Pegasus.

We can learn lmi shell to not pass null.
