Resolved Issues

The following issues documented as known issues in previous versions have been fixed in 1.4.0:

None at time of writing.

Known Issues

• docker exec always returns 0 and ignores the exit code of processes. vic/#5692
  docker exec always returns 0, even if you specify -it. This issue is potentially due to a delay in vSphere host synchronization. If you configure command-based health checks in vSphere Integrated Containers Management Portal, the health checks are always successful for containers that are provisioned on affected VCHs, even if the user-specified command does not exist in the scope of the container. This is because command-based health checks are considered to be successful if the exit code of that command is 0.
