ID_* device properties not available when listing devices in a Docker container

[p4l1ly]

When I run udevadm monitor --environment in a docker container, I can see devices appearing and dissappearing when plugging and unplugging a USB device. With pyudev.Monitor.from_netlink(ctx).poll() I do not get anything. Am I doing something wrong? Or could it be some kind of bug in this library? Or does libudev not support working in such a complicated environment and I'd have to use udevadm directly for this? Thank you.

if someone would be interested in a very simple implementation of the library described in the third question, here's my repo https://github.com/p4l1ly/python-udevadm-monitor

OK have found the root of the problem... I'm listening to udev events, in the container I get only the kernel events.

But list_devices has another problem when running in docker container. udevadm and pyudev.Monitor shows all the attributes, but list_devices shows the devices without ID_ attributes.

OK, it's the same as with udevadm... udevadm monitor works in a docker container, udevadm info does not. See my answer to this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41753218/udevadm-does-not-show-all-attributes-inside-a-docker-container/41778750#41778750

Thanks for the info. I'm going to call this a libudev bug, at least provisionally.
