Create a test user shell script result output format (csv)

[haskell-monad]

wire-server/deploy/services-demo/create_test_user.sh

When I execute on mac, the output is:

# Current *sed* statement
UUID=$(echo "$CURL_OUT" | tail -1 | sed 's/.*"id":"\([0-9a-z-]\+\)".*/\1/')

# Output result (csv)
{"email":"l8TVlbK0@example.com","locale":"en","accent_id":0,"picture":[],"name":"demo","id":"29740ea6-c54a -4a92-8fd5-3f8c5b05cdc3","assets":[]},l8TVlbK0@example.com,UfsMqsUD

I can't match the id. After escaping the double quotes (\"\"), I get the expected result:

# Modified *sed* statement
UUID=$(echo "$CURL_OUT" | tail -1 | sed 's/.*\"id\":\"\([a-z0-9-]*\)\".*/\1/')

# Output result (csv)
29740ea6-c54a-4a92-8fd5-3f8c5b05cdc3,l8TVlbK0@example.com,UfsMqsUD

I think wire is also intended to output result formats like id, email, password.

So what happens is that sed doesn't match the pattern that is supposed to extract the id field from the json object, and leaves the entire object intact.

The value that you show contains a space in the id field; if i fix that, it works fine:

$ echo '{"email":"l8TVlbK0@example.com","locale":"en","accent_id":0,"picture":[],"name":"demo","id":"29740ea6-c54a-4a92-8fd5-3f8c5b05cdc3","assets":[]}' | sed 's/.*"id":"\([0-9a-z-]\+\)".*/\1/'
29740ea6-c54a-4a92-8fd5-3f8c5b05cdc3

Are you sure you got this spurious space from the wire backend? If so, I would be very interested in help to reproduce this.

Other ideas: which sed are you using? Have you tried the one inside, say, https://quay.io/repository/wire/brig?

The space in the id is my mistake ^_^ , I tried again. The sed on the Linux server does not need to escape double quotes (\"\"). The sed on the Mac notebook needs to escape double quotes. Most of the production environment is Use the Linux server, so this issue can be closed.
