Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Chris Evich 2016-12-09 16:32:13 UTC
Description of problem:
Docker is making some assumptions about output device capabilities.  This is a problem because when redirecting or piping the output, it's almost always a royal PITA to parse (human or machine) around the gobbledygook.  It could be a big problem if accessing a system via telnet, serial-link, or some other interface and the output is extraordinarily long.  It's also a problem if the terminal in question doesn't support the particular escape codes being used.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
docker 1.10
docker 1.12

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. # cat <<EOF | docker build -t foobar - &> /tmp/output
FROM rhel7:latest
RUN /etc/services
EOF

2. # hexdump -c /tmp/output

Actual results:

0000111


Expected results:

Nothing but printable characters (including space, \t, \n, \r, \x0b, \x0c).

Including w/o setting TERM=dumb

Additional info:
It would be nice if docker actually inspected term. capabilities, but I think at a minimum it should be checking if /proc/self/fd/{0,1,2} are symlinks to PTY's or TTY's.

Not sure we should care at this point.

Comment 4 Chris Evich 2017-07-06 13:24:28 UTC
Dan,

I agree, it's easier to just "fix" the Docker Autotest build test.  I'm fine if you want to close as WONTFIX.
