ccloud_library.sh ccloud::create_ccloud_stack throws error on CentOS 7

[mkieboom]

The create_ccloud_stack function in the ccloud_library.sh works perfectly fine when running it on MacOS but fails with below error when running on Linux/CentOS 7.

Error: accepts 1 arg(s), received 0
Usage:
  ccloud kafka cluster use <id> [flags]

  -h, --help            Show help for this command.
  -v, --verbose count   Increase verbosity (-v for warn, -vv for info, -vvv for debug, -vvvv for trace).

Kafka cluster id is empty
ERROR: Could not create cluster. Please troubleshoot

ccloud_library.sh is currently validated only on macOS, we have not yet validated it on other OS.

I'll create an internal jira to track this issue. We either need to test on both, otherwise add documentation on the OS test coverage

[mkieboom]

Understood, thanks @ybyzek

[ybyzek]

@mkieboom thanks for reporting 👍

@mkieboom @rspurgeon is this GitHub issue resolved by #737 ?

[rspurgeon]

I believe so, however, I did not personally validate this change on a Linux system, instead verified the code change on MacOS and leaned on @mkieboom to verify on Linux. We can close this AFAIK unless you'd like me to add to my list a validation on Linux.

May I kindly suggest that you guys add a prerequisite section on your docs and tutorials (like this one: https://kafka-tutorials.confluent.io/ccloud-produce-consume/kafka.html) to avoid people trying for hours to do something that is doomed to fail because they don't have the correct OS?

@Lay3r8

1. There is an existing prerequisite section in the docs (https://docs.confluent.io/current/tutorials/examples/ccloud/docs/ccloud-stack.html) but it omits mention of OS. I filed an internal jira to track adding this in (DEVX-2191) -- UPDATE: now documented in the docs

2. I don't think non-macOS are doomed to fail, just that they haven't necessarily been validated on an on-going basis. We still want to surface issues with other OS and try to resolve them best effort, as done with https://github.com/confluentinc/examples/pull/737/files

3. Did you encounter a problem with ccloud-stack? If so, please share the error in a new GitHub issue and we can track there.

Thanks!
