task.query behavior

[jtfogarty]

The below is not writing to the javaversion.txt file.
I see the output in standard out

task.query "javaversion" {
query = "/usr/bin/java -version"
}

file.content "javaversion-data" {
destination = "javaversion.txt"
content = "{{lookup task.query.javaversion.status.stdout}}"
}

root/task.query.javaversion:

It looks like java -version prints it's info to stderr instead of stdout, this should fix it:

task.query "javaversion" {
query = "/usr/bin/java -version"
}

file.content "javaversion-data" {
destination = "javaversion.txt"
content = "{{lookup `task.query.javaversion.status.stderr`}}"
}
