Whitespace in SSLCertificate param causes jq error

[Stuart McLaren]

In devtest_overcloud.sh

The following error is produced when SSLBASE is set:

++ jq '.parameters.SSLCertificate="-----BEGIN' CERTIFICATE----- MIIC3DCCAkWgAwIBAgIBATANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADCBxDEeMBwGA1UEChMVT3Bl bnN0YWNrIEZha2UgQ0EgT3JnMRowGAYDVQQLExFPcGVuc3RhY2sgRmFrZSBDQTEq MCgGCSqGSIb3DQEJARYbYWRtaW5Ab3BlbnN0YWNrLmV4YW1wbGUuY29tMREwDwYD VQQHEwhTdGF0ZSBBWjELMAkGA1UECBMCQVoxCzAJBgNVBAYTAkFVMS0wKwYDVQQD EyRPcGVuc3RhY2sgRmFrZSBDZXJ0aWZpY2F0ZSBBdXRob3JpdHkwHhcNMTQwNTA3 MTY1NzU4WhcNMTcwMTMxMTY1NzU4WjCBojEZMBcGA1UEChMQVHJpcGxlTyBGYWtl IE9yZzEaMBgGA1UECxMRVHJpcGxlTyBGYWtlIFVuaXQxKDAmBgkqhkiG9w0BCQEW GWFkbWluQHRyaXBsZW8uZXhhbXBsZS5jb20xDzANBgNVBAcTBlN0YXRlMTELMAkG A1UECBMCQVoxCzAJBgNVBAYTAlVTMRQwEgYDVQQDEwsxOTIuMC4yLjI1NDCBnzAN BgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOBjQAwgYkCgYEApP6GRp+PQPoagY8gxmEexBjZ3xKjgYTZ kniaob46Le63tMpzEdJZYYeaCwz9JzyIRfIfzOY3dVmHMB+ty9wOCc0qNXdhC5+Z s0uBSr00VIOzjM4iv5mkmQDNZB2Wkm0NHhN0CvMsQz1b0vW/d5ww4GFLQQjkIaRe isSiFAhe1n0CAwEAATANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFAAOBgQAGk41AE9TQ+q9EQJYF5xN1 WSw+K0Ei7aLLiqA78XYlSTb5CgaujtsT0Pj9Cd6X3w21f0Dq4zqPi/8eA+DTB43F LB7JA8inYZE7eYfHMoLtre9KvAnEzzvX6y6UgPa7crrdjfq42to/eMlrCgyuSA5w LL2Y7F1gCftxyG0JCg6ifQ== -----END 'CERTIFICATE-----"'

This was most likely caused by this commit: eafaf0f9993a350f8a2699b55a1fcf8dda71ebf5

The effect of a space in a param can be seen with:

$ export XXX="hi there"

$ jq .parameters.SSLCertificate=\"$XXX\" <<< '{ "parameters" :{}}'
error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting QQSTRING_TEXT or QQSTRING_INTERP_START or QQSTRING_END
.parameters.SSLCertificate="hi
                            ^^
1 compile error

Adding quotes to preserve the whitespace fixes the issue as follows:

$ jq .parameters.SSLCertificate=\""$XXX"\" <<< '{ "parameters" :{}}'
{
  "parameters": {
    "SSLCertificate": "hi there"
  }
}
