Hi,

I did a git bisect and this is the commit that broke it:

 

wireshark -i /tmp/Vnfcscfv1_fee0_eth1_Oc2th -i /tmp/Vnfcscfv1_fee1_eth1_c6nZw -i /tmp/Vnfcscfv1_fee2_eth1_leNWM -i /tmp/Vnfcscfv1_fee3_eth1_F37Bh

 

40a5fb567a9bd1bb02d38ca33efe64392230d27d is the first bad commit

commit 40a5fb567a9bd1bb02d38ca33efe64392230d27d

    Restore interface selection after interface refresh

   

    Remember which interfaces were selected for the next capture and restore

    the selection (note that only active capture devices are stored in

    "ifaces", so simply querying that list does not work).

   

    The original change tried to fix duplicate devices (which were added

    from "ifaces" to "all_ifaces") by clearing "ifaces", this patch tries to

    fix that by ignoring all non-PIPE devices while preserving "ifaces".

   

    Now after refreshing the interfaces list in Qt, the selection in the

    Manage Interfaces dialog is preserved. Removal of the bluetooth0

    interface+refresh does hide the interface. Read+refresh does add the

    interface (and preserve the selected state).

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] If Wireshark is started with -i option it does not set wanted interface if the interface is a pipe

 

Hi,

I received this report from an internal user, does anyone know what have been changed?

 

 

When Wireshark is started with -i option it does not set wanted interface if the interface is a pipe

 

… has one script that first creates named pipe and then starts Wireshark on that interface:

serv308 [13:45] [/tmp] -> ps -ef | grep xxxx | grep pipe

xxxx  15565 15512  0 13:08 ?        00:00:16 /app/vbuild/ wireshark -i /tmp/pipe_15512

 

pipie_15512 is not shown in interface list and I consider this as a problem, can you please advise?

 

I used Interface Management to manually create new interface (/tmp/pipie_15512) and verified if decoding is working as expected. And I can say it is.

 

 

Regards

Anders
