Serial number parsing confusion

[koza]

Hey,

I have two different Core devices and have the “serial” of the serial assertion parsed differently.

type: serial
serial: '27'

and

type: serial
serial: 94e95a48-3b9c-42a3-a578-3719c59c999f

Is there a requirement on the device serial number that I am missing or something is wrong with how the parsing is made.

Note that in the first case the serial is set using: snapctl set registration.proposed-serial by the prepare-device hook.

Thanks in advance,
K

the first is the result of wrong/odd quoting in the prepare-device hook, see the discussion here

How to configure serial vault

I didn’t notice this until today, but this seems to have the double quoting bug where serial will end up containg single quotes, unless I’m confused

we didn’t set any strong requirements on the serial so far (it needs to be unique only within a given brand/model pair and it cannot contain slashes /)

indeed it was. lets forget the topic from now on
