Description Avra Sengupta 2015-07-23 05:38:47 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1218732 +++

Description of problem:
Command 'gluster snapshot status --xml' outputs text that is not part of the xml. This inconsistency breaks my code which only has a reason to expect xml data as input.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Seen in 3.6.2.

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce: 
1. Create at least a 2 node cluster.
2. Create 1 volume.
3. Make sure you don't have any snapshots.

Actual results:
root@gfs-test-1:~# gluster snapshot status --xml
No snapshots present
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<cliOutput>
  <opRet>0</opRet>
  <opErrno>0</opErrno>
  <opErrstr>(null)</opErrstr>
  <snapStatus>
    <snapshots/>
  </snapStatus>
</cliOutput> 

Expected results:
root@gfs-test-1:~# gluster snapshot status --xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<cliOutput>
  <opRet>0</opRet>
  <opErrno>0</opErrno>
  <opErrstr>(null)</opErrstr>
  <snapStatus>
    <snapshots/>
  </snapStatus>
</cliOutput> 


Additional info:
Is this 'null' in the output on purpose? 
  <opErrstr>(null)</opErrstr> 
Other commands like 'gluster snapshot info --xml' show '<opErrstr/>'.


I am marking this as high priority since I parse this output and expect the output to be consistent.

Fix for this BZ is already present in a GlusterFS release. You can find clone of this BZ, fixed in a GlusterFS release and closed. Hence closing this mainline BZ as well.

Comment 5 Niels de Vos 2016-06-16 13:26:24 UTC
This bug is getting closed because a release has been made available that should address the reported issue. In case the problem is still not fixed with glusterfs-3.8.0, please open a new bug report.

glusterfs-3.8.0 has been announced on the Gluster mailinglists [1], packages for several distributions should become available in the near future. Keep an eye on the Gluster Users mailinglist [2] and the update infrastructure for your distribution.
