Traceback message seen when ipa is provided with invalid configuration file name
Last modified: 2017-08-01 05:39:54 EDT
Description of problem: If User provides invalid string instead of absolute path name of configuration file in '-c' option then ipa command throws traceback. Error message given by command is useful but traceback is too loud. # ipa -c non_existent_file_name [2016-07-18T11:59:25Z ipa] <ERROR>: ValueError: config_file must be an absolute path; got u'non_existent_file_name' Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ipalib/cli.py", line 1333, in run (options, argv) = api.bootstrap_with_global_options(context='cli') File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ipalib/plugable.py", line 514, in bootstrap_with_global_options self.bootstrap(parser, **overrides) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ipalib/plugable.py", line 379, in bootstrap self.env._finalize_core(**dict(DEFAULT_CONFIG)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ipalib/config.py", line 532, in _finalize_core self._merge_from_file(self.conf) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ipalib/config.py", line 367, in _merge_from_file 'config_file must be an absolute path; got %r' % config_file ValueError: config_file must be an absolute path; got u'non_existent_file_name' [2016-07-18T11:59:25Z ipa] <ERROR>: an internal error has occurred Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ipa-server-4.4.0-1.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. ipa -c non_existent_file_name Actual results: Error message with traceback.
