Specifying instances by index ambiguous about bosh-cli HOT 3 CLOSED

I couldn't reproduce this. I tested with bosh CLI version 7.0.1-799538d1 (there a no noticeable changes between 7.0.1 and 7.1.0) and bosh director version v276.0.0. I had three instances:

test/13099bcd-f2c7-4472-8359-66ab398e9b4a
test/2aa1bea1-7c74-4f50-87c3-ac435a47c41b
test/ffab33ac-c864-4d47-95b1-7126f320374d

With bosh -d test ssh test/1 I landed in the test/2aa1bea1-7c74-4f50-87c3-ac435a47c41b instance. With bosh bosh -d test ssh test/2 I landed in the test/ffab33ac-c864-4d47-95b1-7126f320374d instance. So the indexes were preferred.

Also looking into the bosh CLI code here and in bosh director here it should try to match the value after <job >/... to an index when it is only with digits (this line). Which director version do you use?

This is director version 276.1.1. I'm having trouble reproducing it myself but I saw it with my own eyes on a colleague's machine. Will see if I can get them to reproduce it.

Neither of us can reproduce this now so I'm going to close this issue. But I'm still suspicious that there may be an issue here.
