Description
INFO: the correction of that bug triggered a breaking change in plugin API. That means that a plugin must be compiled for Rudder 4.2.5 (or higher) to work with Rudder 4.2.5 (or higher).
A plugin compiled for 4.2.0 will only be compatible with Rudder 4.2.0 to 4.2.4.
The following plugin are only compatible with 4.2.0 to 4.2.4:
- dsc: 4.2-1.0 to 4.2-1.5
- datasources: 4.2-1.1
- node-external-resources: 4.2-1.3
- aix: 4.2-1.0
Problem was:
I tried to apply a registry directive and every "\" was doubled.
This breaks all registries path given.
I expected this call in "registry_edition.ps1" :
function registry_edition {
[CmdletBinding()]
param (
[parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string]$reportId,
[parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string]$techniqueName,
[switch]$auditOnly
)
$trackingkey = @(
"e7bde10a-6c52-4d2e-a708-17d96bc675e6@@b1981ec4-a121-4ec7-92b0-10f785face97@@1" )
$paths = @(
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers" )
$entries = @(
....
And end upo with :
function registry_edition {
[CmdletBinding()]
param (
[parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string]$reportId,
[parameter(Mandatory=$true)] [string]$techniqueName,
[switch]$auditOnly
)
$trackingkey = @(
"e7bde10a-6c52-4d2e-a708-17d96bc675e6@@b1981ec4-a121-4ec7-92b0-10f785face97@@1" )
$paths = @(
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Printers" )
....

So, the problem is in Rudder: there is one path for user setted values where we didn't set the escaping to be agent dependent.
The correction of that problem will be a breaking Agent Plugin API, meaning that any agent plugin (Windows DSC, AIX, etc) will need to be upgraded along with the version of Rudder introducing that change.
