Bug report: Amster variable substitution

[soma]

I have the following *.amster file:

amServerUrl = System.getenv("AM_SERVER_URL")
amHome = System.getenv("OPENAM_HOME")

connect \
    --private-key amHome/security/keys/amster/amster_rsa \
    amServerUrl

import-config \
    --path amHome/openam-tools/amster/export/openam.example.com \
    --clean true \
    --failOnError true

:exit

Result:

Amster OpenAM Shell (7.1.0 build 4e72fe392c000b0a15027eb41267d01bfd2d2220, JVM: 11.0.12)
Type ':help' or ':h' for help.

am> :load /root/openam/openam-tools/amster/openam-realm-configuration.amster
===> true
===> https://openam.example.com:8443/openam
===> /root/openam
Could not connect to OpenAM server at https://openam.example.com:8443/openam
Reason: Could not find the private key file: amHome/security/keys/amster/amster_rsa
No connection to OpenAM found. Please connect to an OpenAM instance.

The defined amHomevariable is recognized in the --private-key param.

I am new in the OpenAM 7.1 world. What I do not understand is I do not see the reason why you guys do not use the standard bash variable syntax for variables ($).

Really hard to read this script because you have no idea whether the word is a “simple text” or a “variable” in the script. This is a really bad concept to use variables that way in your *.amster script file.

This one works fine:

amPassword = System.getenv("AM_ADMIN_PASSWORD")
amCookieDomain = System.getenv("AM_COOKIE_DOMAIN")
amServerUrl = System.getenv("AM_SERVER_URL")

install-openam \
 --acceptLicense \
 --serverUrl amServerUrl \
 --cookieDomain amCookieDomain \
 --adminPwd amPassword

workaround:

sed -i "s~amHome/~$OPENAM_HOME/~g" $OPENAM_HOME/openam-tools/amster/openam-realm-configuration.amster
$OPENAM_HOME/openam-tools/amster/amster $OPENAM_HOME/openam-tools/amster/openam-realm-configuration.amster

The SED operation must be removed from the bash script once this bug is fixed.
