Rundeck: No longer possible to use asterisk to see running executions across all projects

[padraiglennon]

Describe the bug
Until recent versions it was possible to get details of running executions for all projects using the '*' symbol.

curl -v -H X-Rundeck-Auth-Token:"${RD_TOKEN}" 'http://localhost:4440/api/35/project/*/executions/running'
* About to connect() to localhost port 4440 (#0)
*   Trying ::1...
* Connected to localhost (::1) port 4440 (#0)
> GET /api/35/project/*/executions/running HTTP/1.1
> User-Agent: curl/7.29.0
> Host: localhost:4440
> Accept: */*
> X-Rundeck-Auth-Token:REDACTED
> 
< HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error
< Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=node01iz7f0hczn556l3denhp1vobb180037.node0; Path=/; HttpOnly
< Connection: close
< 
* Closing connection 0

This now returns a 500 error and outputs the following

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Project does not exist: *

According to https://docs.rundeck.com/docs/api/rundeck-api.html#getting-executions-for-a-job I should be able to do this. It works fine if I specify a valid project name.

My Rundeck detail

• Rundeck version: 3.2.6 or 3.2.7
• install type: RPM
• OS Name/version: RHEL 7.7
• DB Type/version: postgres

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Make an API call via API as shown above
2. Note the 500 Error and associated error message as shown above

Expected behavior
I should be given back details on the overall number of running exections on a given node

Additional context

I also see this when I try to do the equivalent using the CLI (I note here that the regex should allow for the *)

RD_PROJECT='*' rd executions list            
Input error for [rd executions list]: Cannot match (*) to pattern: /^[-_a-zA-Z0-9+][-\._a-zA-Z0-9+]*$/ : RD_PROJECT
You can use: "rd executions list -h" to get help.

Any help appreciated
Thanks in advance

Reproduced, only occur on 3.2.6 with the same @padraiglennon API call.

Here the full error stack: error.txt

Thanks for your feedback @padraiglennon!

Hi guys, I reproduced this using war install for Rundeck's version 3.2.6 and 3.2.7, in version 3.2.4 it runs OK, for further reviews, here the stack trace error and some other:

service.log error in 3.2.7

images:

service.log error in 3.2.6

Job succeeded using * in 3.2.4

Job failed using * in 3.2.6

Job failed using * in 3.2.7

Job succeeded using Project_Name in 3.2.7

Hi guys, perhaps this job can help as a Workaround
