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 Dave Johnson 2011-09-20 18:55:53 UTC 
Description of problem:
=================================
Calling run_uri/string with a key containing special characters (dave's $$$) causes the call to time out.  This was working in v0.4.4-2. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
==================================================================
v0.4.4-4...Also seen running on Fedora with v0.4.5-0.1

How reproducible:
=================================
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
=================================
sysconfig.run_string('file { "/var/www/html/sysconfig-test":\n    owner => root, group => root, mode => 440\n}', 0, 'puppet', "dave's $$$")

  
Actual results:
=================================
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/qmf/console.py", line 308, in <lambda>
    return lambda *args, **kwargs : self._invoke(name, args, kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/qmf/console.py", line 452, in _invoke
    raise RuntimeError("Timed out waiting for method to respond")
RuntimeError: Timed out waiting for method to respond
Comment 2 Russell Bryant 2011-09-20 19:53:09 UTC 
I tried reproducing this with qmf-tool but it didn't happen, can you try?

The method call returns an unknown status since it wasn't able to create a file with that name, but it did provide a response instead of timing out.

qmf: call 2 run_string 'file { "/tmp/sysconfigtest": owner => root, group => root, mode => 440 }' 0 "puppet" "dave's $$$"
Output Parameters:
    Name    Value
    =================
    status  unknown
Comment 3 Dave Johnson 2011-09-20 20:50:44 UTC 
Hrm... I get the same timeout exception when using qmf-tool

qmf: call 2 run_string 'file { "/var/www/html/sysconfig-test":\n    owner => root, group => root, mode => 440\n}' 0  puppet "dave's $$$"
Exception in call command: From Remote Agent: {'error_text': 'Timed out waiting for the agent to respond'}
