qubes-hcl-report error? (line 158: $HOME/$FILENAME.yml: ambiguous redirect)

[gaikokuji...@gmail.com]

Since I finally got Qubes 3.1 working on my HP 8460p (thanks again to Marek for diag'ing the rdsosreport) and thought I would generate/upload the HCL yml file as most things seem to be working pretty well so far. Problem is I am not sure I am using it right as when I try typing
qubes-hcl-report personal

which I thought would send the file to my personal dom doesn't seem to be working? I thought I would see a report named Qubes-HCL-???? somewhere in my personal dom's filesystem but nothing, and when I try to generate the report qubes-hcl-report gives me the following error:

/user/bin/qubes-hcl-report: line 158: $HOME/$FILENAME.yml: ambiguous redirect

I first tried qubes-hcl-report from my personal dom term and was told the command didn't exist, then tried from a dom0 term and at least got the above errors. I also tried specifying:
qubes-hcl-report dom0

just to see if anything would happen, nada.

Finally I thought I'd try to copy/paste (copy to other AppVM) the output of qubes-hcl-report > report.txt but couldn't copy or move from dom0

sigh. thoughts?

Hm, that's strange. Not sure what the problem is, since this command
works on my system. Are you running R3.1 with all updates?

The command should be run from dom0.

To get the output in dom0, it would just be "qubes-hcl-report" (no
"dom0").

Thanks for the reply.

I am running R3.1, and I am current on updates as far as I know (I have been prompted to update twice, once dom0 and once the fedora-23 template

ok, got it about running it from dom0, but still not getting any output other than whats being printed to the screen. I have been able to just redirect the output to a file but its just a plain txt file and not in yml so I assume of no use?

Thanks for the dom0 copying link, I still have quite a bit to read/learn about Qubes.

Any thoughts on how to resolve this, or perhaps its a bug? (how to submit bugs? can't imagine how to reproduce the error) and if the plain txt output would be useful to send for the HCL I'd be happy to do that.

It's about this bug:
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1994

The fix isn't yet uploaded to 3.1 repository.
