Change subject: cli: Escape comma in values ...................................................................... cli: Escape comma in values When a command line option uses a value with several items we use the comman character as the delimiter of name value pairs, for example: # update vm myvm --cpu-cpu_tune-vcpu_pin "vcpu_pin.vcpu=0,vcpu_pin.cpu_set=0" But some values may actually contain commas, for example the "cpu_set" value may contain a list of CPU indexes separated by commas: # update vm myvm --cpu-cpu_tune-vcpu_pin "vcpu_pin.vcpu=0,vcpu_pin.cpu_set=0,1" The CLI can't currently support this, as it assumes that "1" is a name, instead of taking it as part of the value. To allow this kind of values this patch introduces the backslash as a way to escape the delimiter (the comma), so that the command can be written as follows: # update vm myvm --cpu-cpu_tune-vcpu_pin "vcpu_pin.vcpu=0,vcpu_pin.cpu_set=0\,1" Change-Id: I4bcc5944e3f4236b3495acc02801acae7ec82eb2 Bug-Url: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1088914 Signed-off-by: Juan Hernandez <juan.hernandez(a)redhat.com&gt; --- M src/ovirtcli/command/command.py 1 file changed, 44 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) Approvals: Michael Pasternak: Looks good to me, approved Juan Hernandez: Verified -- To view, visit http://gerrit.ovirt.org/27078 To unsubscribe, visit http://gerrit.ovirt.org/settings Gerrit-MessageType: merged Gerrit-Change-Id: I4bcc5944e3f4236b3495acc02801acae7ec82eb2 Gerrit-PatchSet: 2 Gerrit-Project: ovirt-engine-cli Gerrit-Branch: master Gerrit-Owner: Juan Hernandez <juan.hernandez(a)redhat.com&gt; Gerrit-Reviewer: Juan Hernandez <juan.hernandez(a)redhat.com&gt; Gerrit-Reviewer: Michael Pasternak <mishka8520(a)yahoo.com&gt; Gerrit-Reviewer: automation(a)ovirt.org
