Description of problem: When listing queues using 'qpid-config queues <queue_name>', qpid-config returns always '0' (regardless whether queue exists) [root ~]# qpid-config add queue queue_test [root ~]# qpid-config queues queue_test Queue Name Attributes =================================== queue_test [root ~]# echo $? 0 [root ~]# qpid-config del queue queue_test [root ~]# qpid-config queues queue_test Queue Name Attributes =================================== [root ~]# echo $? 0 'qpid-config queues' behavior is fine, but 'qpid-config queues <queue_name>' should behave more like grep. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): qpid-tools-0.10-5.el6.noarch qpid-tools-0.7.946106-12.el5 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. qpid-config add queue queue_test 2. qpid-config queues queue_test 3. echo $? 4. qpid-config del queue queue_test 5. qpid-config queues queue_test 6. echo $? Actual results: Queue doesn't exist -> return code '0' Expected results: Queue doesn't exist -> return code '1' ("grep-like" behavior) Additional info:
Fixed at svn rev 1166888: https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/qpid/trunk/qpid/tools/src/py/qpid-config?view=diff&r1=1166887&r2=1166888&pathrev=1166888 Btw, I also fixed the same behavior for listing exchanges, in addition to queues.
This issue has been fixed. Verified on RHEL5.7 and RHEL6.2, architectures: x86_64, i686 packages installed: qpid-cpp-mrg-0.14-3.el5 qpid-cpp-0.14-1.el6 -> VERIFIED
correction: packages installed: qpid-tools-0.14-1.el5 qpid-tools-0.14-1.el6 -> VERIFIED

New Contents: Cause When listing queues using 'qpid-config queues <queue_name>', qpid-config always returns 0, regardless of whether the queue exists. Similar behavior for listing exchanges. Consequence Scripts that use the return code of qpid-config to detect the presence of a queue or exchange will not work. Fix The fix makes qpid-config return the correct/expected return code, based on the existence of the named queue. The fix also corrects similar behavior for listing exchanges. Result Scripts can now make use of the return code from qpid-config when listing named queues or exchanges.
