Missing argument to exec

Help & Support
1

Hi guys, it’s from a few days already I try to fix this error, but I don’t see the problem (I am not expert of the use of find command with bash). Basically, when I run this function I get this error: Missing argument to exec’

The function:

# Internal use only
        def prepareRootPermissions
            #We need to exclude the ism tree and any running task to avoid crashs and unwanted permissions
            command = <<-COMMAND
            find #{Ism.settings.rootPath}                                                       \
            ! -path '#{Ism.settings.rootPath}#{ISM::Default::Path::TemporaryDirectory}.ISM.*'   \
            ! -path '#{Ism.settings.rootPath}#{Ism.settings.sourcesPath}'                       \
            ! -path '#{Ism.settings.rootPath}#{Ism.settings.toolsPath}'                         \
            ! -path '#{Ism.settings.rootPath}#{ISM::Default::Path::RuntimeDataDirectory}'       \
            ! -path '#{Ism.settings.rootPath}#{ISM::Default::Path::TemporaryDirectory}'         \
            ! -path '#{Ism.settings.rootPath}#{ISM::Default::Path::SettingsDirectory}'          \
            ! -path '#{Ism.settings.rootPath}#{ISM::Default::Path::LogsDirectory}'              \
            ! -path '#{Ism.settings.rootPath}#{ISM::Default::Path::LibraryDirectory}'           \
            -exec chown root:root '{}' \;
            COMMAND

            ISM::Core.runSystemCommand( command: command,
                                        asRoot: true,
                                        viaChroot: false)

            rescue exception
            ISM::Core::Error.show(  className: "Software",
                                    functionName: "prepareRootPermissions",
                                    errorTitle: "Execution failure",
                                    error: "Failed to execute the function",
                                    exception: exception)
        end

Probably need a \\; instead of \;

I found another way, because calling this bash function bring just problems. But thank you. Even I tried your suggestion, I keep the same problem
