which version of grep?

aheissenberger · 2014-02-07T11:51:39Z

can you try:
$ ./boot2docker info | grep 'State:[[:space:]]+running'; echo $?
and
$ ./boot2docker info | grep "State:\s+running"; echo $?

hackdna · 2014-02-07T15:34:29Z

$ ./boot2docker info | grep 'State:[[:space:]]+running'; echo $?
1
$ ./boot2docker info | grep "State:\s+running"; echo $?
1
$ grep --version
grep (GNU grep) 2.5.1

@hackdna can you paste the output of ./boot2docker info | grep State please - I had something like this where there was a different state than we coded, but I thought I fixed that in 0.5

aheissenberger · 2014-02-08T08:57:32Z

The problem here is gnu grep 2.5.x - there is a known bug with spaces:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4233159/grep-regex-whitespace-behavior

you should update your system or replace your grep with a newer version from Homebrew

@hackdna

can you please confirm that

$ ./boot2docker info | grep "State:\s*+running"; echo $?

works (added a * as per the stackoverflow link) - then we can change our script to cope with that little buglette

hackdna · 2014-02-09T22:15:27Z

$ ./boot2docker start
[2014-02-09 17:02:58] Starting boot2docker-vm...
[2014-02-09 17:03:32] Started.
$ ./boot2docker info | grep "State:\s*+running"; echo $?
1

on the other hand:

$ ./boot2docker info | grep "State:" | grep "running"; echo $?
State:           running (since 2014-02-09T22:02:58.907000000)

$ ./boot2docker info | grep -E 'State:[[:space:]]+running'; echo $?
State:           running (since 2014-02-09T22:02:58.907000000)
0
$ ./boot2docker info | grep "State: *running"; echo $?
