kargs handling regressions?

[miabbott]

Using quay.io/coreos-assembler/coreos-assembler:latest (maps to commit 350c1d9), when I do coreos-assembler run --kargs foo=bar --kargs bar=foo, only the last karg is being appended to the kernel cmdline.

$ coreos-assembler run --kargs foo=bar --kargs bar=foo

Additionally, trying to combine multiple kargs into a single string causes cosa to choke:

$ coreos-assembler run --kargs "foo=bar bar=foo"

These look like regressions based on the idea of the implementation here:

#1263 (comment)

...and the actual implementation in #1265

@mike-nguyen points out that multiple kargs can be passed as a string if you are already in the coreos-assembler shell

However, multiple uses of --karg don't appear to be honored

What does which cosa say? From the output above, it looks like you lost the quotes around "$@" in the alias definition, so it's splitting on the space within the quoted --kargs arg.

For the multiple --kargs part, I opened #2431.
