Selector on roles behaves differently than expected (bug?)

[sz-ligatur]

Hello @ryan, I had to change some role names on an existing site – after a while I recognized changed behavior for some role related functions. What I found is that using roles in selectors doesn't work exactly the same as I see on other fields:

$s1 = "roles=aaa";
$s2 = "roles=aaa|guest";
$s3 = "roles=aaa|guest|notavailable";

echo $users->find($s1);	//works, returns some users
echo $users->find($s2);	//works, returns some more users
echo $users->find($s3);	//returns empty pageArray !

As soon as I do an "OR" with a role, that does not exist, it wipes out the whole result set.  Is this the intended behavior? I guess not, but maybe you can tell me where I'm wrong.  Thank you!

Sounds like a bug - could you raise an issue on processwire/processwire-issues?

I did it … #1743

update: this is fixed in processwire 3.0.220, I can confirm that this is working now  as expected.
