Provider path using `--provider` doesn't work on Windows about summon HOT 9 CLOSED

@whip113 Can you provide more details about how to recreate this bug? I have attempted to recreate this and was unable to do so locally.

@whip113 I will close this issue since I have not heard back from you but feel free to ping me if this is an issue in the latest releases.

I have the same problem.

PS C:\Users\marcin.dzieciol> C:\Users\marcin.dzieciol\Downloads\summon.exe --yaml 'pass: !var pass' .\pass.ps1
Error fetching variable pass: exec: "C:\\Program Files/Cyberark Conjur/Summon/Providers/conjur": file does not exist

in this example I've tried to use second option from this document
https://github.com/cyberark/summon/blob/master/provider/README.md
Defining path as a user environment variable.
I think the problem is combining backslashes and slashes in one path.

when I'm trying to provide provider path i have this result:

PS C:\Users\marcin.dzieciol> C:\Users\marcin.dzieciol\Downloads\summon.exe -p "C:\Program Files\Cyberark Conjur\Summon\Providers\conjur" --yaml 'pass: !var pass' .\pass.ps1
CreateFile C:\Program Files/Cyberark Conjur/Summon/Providers/C:\Program Files\Cyberark Conjur\Summon\Providers\conjur: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

it doesn't make sense, could you please fix this. For now version on windows is not usable.

@mdzieciol I think in theory should work fine.
Can you:

• Provide the dir listing of your C:\Program Files\Cyberark Conjur\Summon\Providers directory?
• Check that the provider filename ends in .exe extension?
• Check that the permissions on the provider file are correct? (what happens when you run conjur directly?)

from summon.

Can you also make sure that Windows isn't preventing you from running this file? You may need to escape the spaces though and I am not on a Windows machine right now but try:

dir "C:\Program Files\Cyberark Conjur\Summon\Providers" -Recurse | Unblock-File

from summon.

PS C:\Users\marcin.dzieciol\Downloads> dir "C:\Program Files\Cyberark Conjur\Summon\Providers"


    Directory: C:\Program Files\Cyberark Conjur\Summon\Providers


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                -------------         ------ ----
-a----        3/31/2020  10:20 PM            259 conjur

But why it should be .exe extension. In this file I have configuration for Conjur. If this should be an exe, where I find it to download? And how to provide environment variables like URL, user, api-key etc.?

3. the same as 2nd answer. To be honest, in readme I didn't find any information how to configure windows version. I think I did something wrong if you asking me for exe file.

from summon.

ah ok, I found it.
Can you tell me, how to provide variables?
I have this error:
'''
Failed creating a Conjur client: Must specify an ApplianceURL -- Must specify an Account
'''

@mdzieciol, could I ask you to post this question over on https://discuss.cyberarkcommons.org/ please? There is a broader audience there then in a closed Github issue and the community will benefit from the discussion.

I've opened a new issue for @mdzieciol's issues in #167 - let's have any further conversation there.
