bcfg2-info pipes partial output

[https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id?id=AItOawkcI3Ss9yHoQPv6KUCZdrDeUmrgJw4Sokw]

When redirecting 'bcfg2-info groups' output to a file or whatever, not all information is redirected.

I tried on virtual servers

1. Fedora 16 3.1.0-7.fc16.x86_64 bcfg2-server 1.2.1-2
2. Fedora 15 2.6.40.3-0.fc15.i686.PAE bcfg2-server 1.2.0-1

So i have redirected command output to a bcfg2-groups file Then copy/paste command output to a file bcfg2-groups-pasted

Here is a result:

1. Fedora 16, bcfg2-server 1.2.1-2

   [root]# bcfg2-info groups > bcfg2-groups 2>&1
   [root]# ll bcfg2-groups
   -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14462 Oct  2 12:38 bcfg2-groups
   [root]# wc -l bcfg2-groups
   60 bcfg2-groups
   [root]# ll bcfg2-groups-pasted
   -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18153 Oct  2 12:43 bcfg2-groups-pasted
   [root]# wc -l bcfg2-groups-pasted 
   95 bcfg2-groups-pasted
   

2. Fedora 15, bcfg2-server 1.2.0-1

   [root]# bcfg2-info groups > bcfg2-groups 2>&1
   [root]# ll bcfg2-groups
   -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 35038 Oct  2 05:50 bcfg2-groups
   [root]# wc -l bcfg2-groups
   174 bcfg2-groups
   [root]# ll bcfg2-groups-pasted 
   -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 36623 Oct  2 05:50 bcfg2-groups-pasted
   [root]# wc -l bcfg2-groups-pasted 
   184 bcfg2-groups-pasted

And problem is that i can't get my group information in script. Is there a better way to achieve this?

I believe there were several fixes to how bcfg2-info produces output (specifically with regards to redirection) in 1.2 at some point. Can you try upgrading to 1.2.3 and see if you still encounter the problem?

If you do, please also provide a diff of the redirected output and the expected (pasted) output, so we can see what's missing. Thanks very much.

I have compiled version 1.2.3 on fedora 15 and fedora 16
First output is expected(pasted).
Then output a redirected contend
And redirect with tee command. Same problem here

same problem on fedora 16

This works properly for me with 1.3. Please try the RC and let us know if you are still having issues.

bcfg2-server 1.3.0pre2 on Python 2.7.3 on Fedora 16 does work regarding this issue. We tested RPM from fedora-rawhide and it has several other issues, but this specific one is fixed.
