Patches a bug I introduced in 7.1
This is a breaking change for the following use case, where a non-username primary group is given to a user by an integer gid alone.
u = [{
'id': 'X'
'groups': ['A'],
'gid': 7000,
'no_user_group': true
}]
users_manage 'A' do
users u
group_id 7000
end
This case is bad practice, if a second group is introduces it can break, and the gid field is agnostic of its primary group.
u = [{
'id': 'X'
'groups': ['A', 'B'],
'gid': 7000,
'no_user_group': true
}]
users_manage 'A' do
users u
end
users_manage 'B' do
users u
group_id 7000
end
The fix for this issue was also included in 7.1. It is to include the primary_group key in the user hash, which defines the primary group belonging to an integer gid. This is not needed when the gid is a string or meant to be associated with the username group. The proper way to handle this case is as follows.
u = [{
'id': 'X'
'groups': ['A', 'B'],
'gid': 7000,
'primary_group': 'B',
'no_user_group': true
}]
users_manage 'A' do
users u
end
users_manage 'B' do
users u
group_id 7000
end
This will ensure that group 'B' is created with the proper gid and that the user 'X' can have it as its primary group.
