Description Andy Goldstein 2016-07-22 13:43:44 UTC

Description of problem: Sometimes when running 'docker exec -it ...', output from the command is lost.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.10.3-44.el7


How reproducible: easily


Steps to Reproduce:
1. docker run -d --name c7 centos:centos7 sleep 9999999
2. while true; do x=$(docker exec -t c7 cat /etc/hosts); if [ -z "${x}" ]; then break; fi; done

Actual results: the while loop exits


Expected results: the while loop should not exit


Additional info:

If you remove the -t (docker exec c7 cat /etc/hosts), there is no issue.

This is fixed by https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/21018

Wors well for me in docker-1.10.3-46.el7.8.x86_64,
I wait for a moment to see the ouput, but the ``while`` ends.

# while true; do x=$(docker exec -t c9 cat /etc/hosts); echo ${x} ;if [ -z "${x}" ]; then break; fi; done
