dirac-proxy-info broken in recent releases

[marianne013]

Hi,

At Imperial we use a script that recreates the sequence of commands we give our users to install a UI. It's also used to test upgrades to our pre-prod server. I'm currently testing upgrading to v8.0.27 and I came across the following issue:
At some point between the beginning of July (i.e. last time I ran this script) and now something changed and the script started failing at the step below, i.e. after getting a proxy and before configuring the UI for a specific DIRAC server. Unfortunately I have not been able to pinpoint the exact combination of where things have started to go wrong.
While using dirac-proxy-info at this step is not vital I don't like when stuff randomly breaks and I don't know why. (The script in question has worked for the last 3+ years, so I'm even more concerned.)

Below is latest diracos and v8.1.a17. It looks identical for 8.0.27.

Anyone know what happened here ?

I can't reproduce it. Can you detail how you install it, and run these commands with -ddd ?

[marianne013]

  990  curl -LO https://github.com/DIRACGrid/DIRACOS2/releases/latest/download/DIRACOS-Linux-$(uname -m).sh
  991  bash DIRACOS-Linux-$(uname -m).sh
  992  source diracos/diracosrc 
  993  pip install DIRAC==v8.1.0a17
  994  dirac-proxy-init -x -N 
  995  dirac-proxy-info 

I never run this in a container (never have done), so far this wasn't a problem.

It fails even with 8.0 so the problem must be older.
(but just to note, you do not run dirac-configure, so indeed there's no config file)
Though I agree that there is no reason for it to fail, you may want the info stored solely in the proxy
Could it be that the environment in which you ran that changed, and that you had a dirac.cfg in the usual locations before ?

[marianne013]

Yes, it's probably the .cfg file,

I still don't like it.
