Chef restarts RabbitMQ because it always set the permissions to all the users when it runs

[demonccc]

Hi,

I was checking the code and I found that the cookbook use this command to detect user the policies:

cmd = "rabbitmqctl -q list_user_permissions #{name} | grep \"^#{vhost}\\b\""

When vhost is /, the grep command doesn't match and the function user_has_permissions? returns false (permissions found but do not match).

I tested the command manually:

#  rabbitmqctl -q list_user_permissions bell-rw
/       bell|q-.+@.+    bell|q-.+@.+    bell|q-.+@.+
# rabbitmqctl -q list_user_permissions bell-rw | grep "/\b"

And I tested the command grep by using the command echo to emulate the rabbitmqctl output:

# echo "/       bell|q-.+@.+    bell|q-.+@.+    bell|q-.+@.+"  | grep "/\b"
# echo "/lala       bell|q-.+@.+    bell|q-.+@.+    bell|q-.+@.+"  | grep "/lala\b"
/lala       bell|q-.+@.+    bell|q-.+@.+    bell|q-.+@.+

Regards.

Is this still a problem for you?

Ah I think I am hitting this also.

Hi, I didn't see any change in the code... Have you changed anything? I didn't test the new version of this cookbook.

@cmluciano @jjasghar any plans for this ?

@scalp42 i'll be honest, i havent dug into this at all.

If you have a fix, i'd love to see it, but i'll put it on my TODO and ideally get to it soon.

[scalp42]

@jjasghar okay I'll try to get to it early next week unless @demonccc has a fix for it already
