docker exec's "executable file not found in $PATH" should go to stderr

Open findepi opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

Description

When docker exec cannot find an executable it prints an error. This error should go to standard error (stderr).

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. docker run -d --name ubuntu ubuntu sleep 5m
  2. docker exec -i ubuntu somethingsomething (prints OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:344: starting container process caused "exec: \"somethingsomething\": executable file not found in $PATH": unknown)
  3. docker exec -i ubuntu somethingsomething > /dev/null

Describe the results you received:

When executing docker exec -i ubuntu somethingsomething > /dev/null nothing gets printed.

Describe the results you expected:

The following printed to stderr:

OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:344: starting container process caused "exec: \"somethingsomething\": executable file not found in $PATH": unknown
