Cannot set default properties: "ERROR: default was not found!"

[biochemie]

Trying to set default properties in iocell fails, as it appears the script is literally searching for a jail named "default" as opposed to applying it to the default settings.

Version: 2017-05-27 build from source in the FreeBSD ports

# iocell set vnet=off default results in ERROR: default was not found!

Have tried default, defaults, DEFAULT, and DEFAULTS to ensure there wasn't some case/misspelling issue. No luck with any of them.

I don´t think it is an issue. Jail´s UUID or TAG is expected as the last parameter. The usage is:
iocell [-v] set property=value [property=value] UUID|TAG

@orichoni: I am speaking to setting global (for all jail) defaults for jail initialization with iocell [-v] set property=value default, as documented here:
http://iocell.readthedocs.io/en/latest/basic-use.html#system-wide-defaults

I can confirm this looks like a valid bug, because I can reproduce it on my systems. However, I am not yet sure what is the nature of that issue. I did some preliminary examination and I might have an idea where the problem is, but I don't yet know how it should look like correctly.

@bartekrutkowski: I don't have time/access at work to investigate this much, but I've already rooted around a little bit better than when I first tried to figure out what was wrong here. I can check things a bit better from home this evening when I have access to my box where this was giving me problems.

ioc-common properly flags off the default value as being protected, so attributes avoid using it. However, ioc-cmd doesn't flag that it needs to do something different with _jail being set to default. It just passes it directly to __check_name over in ioc-info, which doesn't do anything unique when passed default, which fails because it does not exist.
