Steps to reproduce
- Install Guests app and create a guest user
- Use
occ group:list <pattern>to search for members of groups
Expected behaviour
Only the group matching the <pattern> should be returned, as documented for group:list
Actual behaviour
The command returns all groups matching the <pattern> (may be none) and always the group guest_app.
{
"<GroupID>": {
"displayName": "<GroupName>",
"backends": [
"Database"
],
"users": [
"examplegroupmember1",
"examplegroupmember2"
]
},
"guest_app": {
"displayName": "Guests",
"backends": [
"OCA\\Guests\\GroupBackend"
],
"users": [
"user@maildomain.example"
]
}
}
The behaviour is the same for all output modes (plain, json, json_pretty) and differing patterns.
I do not have other group backends, as such I cannot test if the problem lies in the backend or occ command implementation.
