Description Stephen Gordon 2013-01-30 10:44:38 EST

Description of problem:

When running packstack --gen-answer-file='~/answer.txt' I get an error. If I use './answer.txt' from the home directory it works:

# echo $HOME
/root
# pwd
/root
# packstack --gen-answer-file='~/answer.txt'
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '~/answer.txt'
Please check log file /var/tmp/71bd87d1-576a-4d64-89bc-0b0d0c47691b/openstack-setup_2013_01_29_22_41_48.log for more information
# packstack --gen-answer-file='./answer.txt'
#

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

openstack-packstack-2012.2.2-0.2.dev211.el6ost.noarch

Actual results:

packstack --gen-answer-file='~/answer.txt' fails with file not found.


Expected results:

packstack --gen-answer-file='~/answer.txt' creates $HOME/answer.txt.
