kgranroth-tm opened a new issue, #115:
URL: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-cloudmonkey/issues/115
### Summary
Cloudmonkey requires a default profile in `.cmk/config` to read the
`.cmk/profiles/*.cache` files and it will ignore the command line arg when
loading said cache, preferring the default profile.
### System
OS: MacOS 11
CPU: darwin.x86-64
CMK Version: 6.2.0 (build: 8aae61e, 2021-09-23T10:50:26+0530)
### Setup
Create a sample `.cmk/config` with something like:
```
profile = dev
[dev]
...
[prod]
...
```
Then perform a sync:
```
$ cmk sync
Discovered 194 APIs
```
Verify that it did create the sync cache for `dev`:
```
$ ls ~/.cmk/profiles
dev.cache
```
Verify that my custom command did sync and is cached:
```
$ jq '.api[] | select(.name=="myCustomCommand") | {name: .name}'
~/.cmk/profiles/dev.cache
{
"name": "myCustomCommand"
}
```
### Attempt 1: Shouldn't work but does
Let's try to use one of those recently synced custom commands for `prod`,
which doesn't have any cache file at all (as seen above):
```
cmk -d -p prod myCustomCommand
[debug] Trying to load profile: prod
[debug] cmdline args:cmk, -d, -p, prod, myCustomCommand
[debug] ExecCmd args: myCustomCommand
<actual results of working command>
```
That works, even though it shouldn't. The debug output shows that it is
loading `prod` profile but I would expect it to fail since there is no
`prod.cache` with the custom commands. Instead, it is reading `dev.cache` for
the custom commands and only use `prod` as the profile for the actual execution
of the command.
### Attempt 2: Should work, but doesn't
Let's remove the default profile from `.cmk/config` (setting it to `profile
=` or entirely deleting the line both do the same):
```
profile =
[dev]
...
[prod]
...
```
Then, since `dev.cache` already exists, let's try and use that:
```
$ cmk -d -p dev myCustomCommand
[debug] Trying to load profile: dev
[debug] cmdline args:cmk, -d, -p, dev, myCustomCommand
[debug] ExecCmd args: myCustomCommand
Error: unknown command or API requested
```
That _should_ work since there is a `dev.cache` file; there is a `[dev]`
profile defined in the `.cmk/config`; and it does recognize that `-p dev` is
valid. But because there is no `profile = dev` in `.cmk/config`, it will not
work.
### Workarounds
If `myCustomCommand` is the same in all profiles, then I can simply
arbitrarily set `profile = dev` in `.cmk/config` and the command line `-p
<profile>` will work for all profiles.
Alternatively, I can have separate config files per profile and use the new
`-c <config>` option, but that only works starting recently.
