[bug] package query does not work for me

[freihamer]

Environment details

• Operating System+version: Ubuntu 20.04
• Compiler+version:
• Conan version: 2.0.17
• Python version: 3.8

Steps to reproduce

For me, the package query option does not filter results as expected
conan list -r myrepo -p os=Linux "*"
Will still list all packages in myrepo, not only those that have Linux as os

Hi @lucabarbiero

Thanks for your question.

I am not sure what you mean. This seems to work fine:

If you are typing "*" that is not a pattern for binaries, that is a pattern for recipes. It will return all recipes in the repo.
Next Conan versions might actually throw an error for this case.

All right sorry I think my command would then be
conan list -r myrepo -p os=Linux "*:*"

Solved thanks

No prob, thanks for the feedback, it was still useful! 🙂

I am submitting PR #15781 that will raise an error message to explain the behavior, it will help other users with the same potential confusion.

#15781 merged, it will be in next 2.2
