Salt: Password not working

[qiushics]

When I run the following commands:

salt '*' cmd.run 'dir' runas=myuser password=123456

salt '*' cmd.run 'dir' runas=myuser password='123456'

salt '*' cmd.run 'dir' runas=myuser password="123456"

salt '*' cmd.run 'dir' runas=myuser password='''123456'''

The output is:

win10:
    Passed invalid arguments to cmd.run: Objects of type 'int' can not be converted to Unicode.

Could anyone help?

The command lines assumes a number is a int or a float if only digits. Try abc123 for the password or even better a password generator,

[gtmanfred]

Yeah, this is something that the cli renderer does, because usually numbers need to be ints or floats.

It would be easier to set the password to something with a letter in it, but we should add a str(password) in salt.modules.cmdmod i guess.

I am going to mark this as a low priority issue.

Thanks,
Daniel
