[augeas-devel] match command in augtool and Java

[Diego]

Hi Augeas developers,

I'm toying with Augeas these days (great tool, thank you!!) and I've found a 
mismatch between augtool and Java bindings.

I'm playing with a fake root and a /etc/network/interfaces file.


Using the same fake root, so the same interfaces file, from augtool I get:
augtool> match /files/etc/network/interfaces/*
/files/etc/network/interfaces/auto = (none)
/files/etc/network/interfaces/allow-hotplug = (none)
/files/etc/network/interfaces/iface[1] = eth0
/files/etc/network/interfaces/iface[2] = eth0

while from an equivalent Java program, the strings in:
augeasHandle.match("/files/etc/network/interfaces/*")
are:
/files/etc/network/interfaces/auto
/files/etc/network/interfaces/allow-hotplug
/files/etc/network/interfaces/iface[1]
/files/etc/network/interfaces/iface[2]
/files/etc/network/interfaces/auto/1
/files/etc/network/interfaces/allow-hotplug/1
/files/etc/network/interfaces/iface[1]/family
/files/etc/network/interfaces/iface[1]/method
/files/etc/network/interfaces/iface[2]/family
/files/etc/network/interfaces/iface[2]/method
/files/etc/network/interfaces/iface[2]/address
/files/etc/network/interfaces/iface[2]/gateway

so while in augtool I get only the direct childs of the interfaces node, in 
Java I get all the nodes in the subtree.


Should this be considered a bug in the Java implementation?

Bests,
Diego
