bocker exec fails

[basdp]

Bocker exec fails always, it just outputs a long list of increasing integers. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug? I can't find any documentation about exec. All the other commands are working.

Hey @basdp

This is a bug, something isn't working quite right with bocker exec. I thought it might be fixed with 11129ae but it's still not quite right.

What is still not right?

Sorry, I mean I thought 11129ae would also fix the exec issues, but it didn't. Exec still isn't working once the original process dies.

Ok so there are two issues here.

Start a container:

    bocker run img_42078 "while :; do echo 'foo'; sleep 5; done"

Try and exec a command with multiple words = FAILS:

    bocker exec ps_42201 ps aux
    chroot: failed to run command ‘ps aux’: No such file or directory`

Try and exec a command with one word = WORKS:

    bocker exec ps_42201 bash
    ps aux
    USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
    root         1  0.0  0.2  11116  1392 ?        S+   18:31   0:00 /bin/sh -c /bin/mount -t proc proc /proc && while :; do echo 'foo'; sleep 5; done
    root         8  0.0  0.1   5884   612 ?        S+   18:31   0:00 sleep 5
    root         9  0.0  0.3  13344  1952 ?        S    18:31   0:00 bash
    root        22  0.0  0.2  21364  1376 ?        R+   18:31   0:00 ps aux

Ctrl-C the bocker run command and then try to re-enter it = FAILS:

    bocker exec ps_42201 bash
    nsenter: failed to parse pid: 'PID
    1
    2
    3
    ...
    24105
    24106
    24107

So what needs doing here is:

1. Correctly quote and pass arguments into the container when exec'ing.
2. Throw an error if the container is not running.

I'm going to keep tracking the spewing out numbers issue here and the multiple words one at #20
