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).

Description Alexander Rydekull 2020-02-21 08:36:57 UTC
Description of problem:

clevis-luks-bind is incredibly sensitive about what type of quotes that it accepts. And this makes it a pain to automate through ansible.

And, it really needs a command argument to do "yes" when trying to call it from a script or any type of automation. Currently I have to loop it through expect.

It is also worth improving the failure message that you get when the quotes are wrong. For a new users it is quite incomprehensible. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
N/A

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run it, and switch from single to double-quotes or vice versa.
2. Try to execute it via a script or something that does not do an interactive session.

Actual results:
Failure and need for extra steps around it. 

Expected results:
To be scriptable and accept all quotes as long as it is quoted.


Additional info:
No

Hi Alexander,

Right, that's because it accepts JSON input, so anything that does not validate as JSON will be problematic.

We added a "-y" switch to accomplish this, in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1819767

I will be closing this as NOTABUG.
