[BUG] Setting keyboard layout fails but returns success #62838

Open zzaimeche opened 1 year ago

zzaimeche commented 1 year ago

Description When the user applies a state to set a keyboard keymap that is not available, the command fails, but salt reports a success. I think I have found the cause and am working on a patch.

Setup I think this would affect everyone using this module, but this is where I encountered it:

Steps to Reproduce the behavior

Run: salt-call --local state.single keyboard.system ca.map.gz

[ERROR   ] Command 'localectl' failed with return code: 1
[ERROR   ] stdout: Failed to set keymap: Keymap ca.map.gz is not installed.
[ERROR   ] retcode: 1
[ERROR   ] Command 'localectl' failed with return code: 1
[ERROR   ] output: Failed to set keymap: Keymap ca.map.gz is not installed.
local:
----------
          ID: ca.map.gz
    Function: keyboard.system
      Result: True
     Comment: Set system keyboard layout ca.map.gz
     Started: 17:53:24.783471
    Duration: 214.29 ms
     Changes:   
              ----------
              layout:
                  ca.map.gz

Summary for local
------------
Succeeded: 1 (changed=1)
Failed:    0
------------
Total states run:     1
Total run time: 214.290 ms

Expected behavior Result should be False, Succeeded should be 0, Failed should be 1.

Additional context I think I've worked out why this happens and am working on a fix, over here: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/compare/master...zzaimeche:salt:fix-keyboard-fails I think Salt does not check whether the shell command was successful, but whether the python calling the command ran successfully. So whether the shell command succeeds or fails, Salt reports a success. The issue is in https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/modules/keyboard.py and https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/states/keyboard.py . I think Salt needs to check for the retcode, so I used cmd.retcode based on other examples in the codebase, though I couldn't find the documentation for cmd.retcode, so maybe there's a better way. My WIP patch seems to fix the issue on my machine (but my WIP patch will break things on other distros at the moment). I'll make a PR shortly. I'm hoping someone from the Salt team can take a look and advise if there's a preferred approach, since I suspect there might have been similar issues with other modules and there may be a convention for this kind of fix.
