Issue with single quote (') params with dcapis

[keyurkapasi]

Facing issue with parameters having single quote using dcapi codes. It ignore single quote (') and generate runfile without the quote. following is my dcapi code

export CHECKOUT=/root/design-center/tools/cf-sketch export DCJV=$CHECKOUT/config-vagrant.json export CFAPI=$CHECKOUT/cf-dc-api.pl

echo '{ dc_api_version: "3.6.0", request: {define: { "vagrant::System::sysconfig::sysconfig_deb": { "System::sysconfig": { "profile_params" :[ "source /etc/bash.bashrc" ], "bashrc_params_deb" : ["export LS_OPTIONS='--color=auto'", "alias ls='ls $LS_OPTIONS'", "alias ll='ls $LS_OPTIONS -l'", "alias l='ls $LS_OPTIONS -lA'"], "locale_gen" : "en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8", "locale_LANG" : "en_US.UTF-8", "locale_LANGUAGE" : "en_US:en","keyboard_layout_debian" : "de" } } } } }' | $CFAPI $DCJV

The generated runfile and provides the params excluding (') like mentioned

"___001_System_sysconfig_sysconfig_deb_bashrc_params_deb" data => parsejson('["export LS_OPTIONS=--color=auto","alias ls=ls --color=auto","alias ll=ls --color=auto -l","alias l=ls --color=auto -lA"]');

I tried /, \ and many more options but it ignores (') however It works fine with interactive mode. while using interactive mode, it generates runfile using \ like

"__System_sysconfig_1_001_System_sysconfig_sysconfig_deb_bashrc_params_deb" data => parsejson('["export LS_OPTIONS=\'--color=auto\'","alias ls=\'ls $LS_OPTIONS\'"," alias ll=\'ls $LS_OPTIONS -l\'","alias l=\'ls $LS_OPTIONS -lA\'"]);

Anybody has any clue regarding ?

Hi, and sorry for the very late reply (it's due to circumstances beyond my control). I followed your instructions but DC doesn't have a System::sysconfig sketch, so I used System::sysctl with a single quote in the parameters.

So from this JSON:

{
    "System::sysctl":
    {
        "ensured_kv" : { "'net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse": 1 },
        "removed_kv" : { "net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse": 2 },
        "removed_vars" : [ "bad.entry" ],
        "empty_first" : false
    }
}

I got this in the runfile:

      # array 'ensured_kv' from definition parameter definition from /home/tzz/source/cfengine/design-center/tools/test/../../sketches/system/sysctl/params/example.json, activation ___001_System_sysctl_set
      "___001_System_sysctl_set_ensured_kv" data => parsejson('{"\'net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse":1}');

which parses all right. Can you check if this is still a problem with the latest 3.7 beta or from a DC checkout?
