Mark,
Thanks; sorry for the misunderstanding on my part. I later realized that, in
the promise where I was testing this, I had mistyped the name of the action
body (so, it seems, the defaults were used?). At that point, the error message
I was seeing about remote logging and Nova led me to believe syslog
functionality might have been moved entirely to Nova. Glad to hear I'm wrong.
I noticed something interesting in this process: if one attempts to use an
undefined promise body, an error appears only to be thrown if parameters are
passed to that body.
For example, in this case:
"/tmp/xyz"
perms => permissions_mode("644"),
action => i_dont_exist("inform");
I get an error:
# cf-agent -dK
...
Unappending > Verifying the syntax of the inputs...
No such FnCall "i_dont_exist()" in promise @
/var/cfengine/inputs/promises.cf near line 87
....
When I remove the parameter from the nonexistent body, no such error is thrown,
and the constraint appears to be respected, in some form:
"/tmp/xyz"
perms => permissions_mode("644"),
action => i_dont_exist;
# cf-agent -dK
Appending a function call to rhs
Recorded LVAL action
Recorded IDRVAL i_dont_exist
Subtype files syntax ok for agent
CheckConstraint(files,action,i_dont_exist)
Found type files's body syntax
CMP-bundle # (action,acl)
CMP-bundle # (action,changes)
CMP-bundle # (action,copy_from)
CMP-bundle # (action,create)
CMP-bundle # (action,delete)
CMP-bundle # (action,depth_search)
CMP-bundle # (action,edit_line)
CMP-bundle # (action,edit_xml)
CMP-bundle # (action,edit_defaults)
CMP-bundle # (action,file_select)
CMP-bundle # (action,link_from)
CMP-bundle # (action,move_obstructions)
CMP-bundle # (action,pathtype)
CMP-bundle # (action,perms)
CMP-bundle # (action,rename)
CMP-bundle # (action,repository)
CMP-bundle # (action,touch)
CMP-bundle # (action,transformer)
CMP-common # action,action
Found a match for lval action in the common constraint attributes
Appending Constraint: action => i_dont_exist
End full promise with promisee /tmp/xyz
Is this by design? I think it would be helpful to get an indication that an
undefined body is being used regardless of whether there are parameters passed
to it.
Thanks,
-Jessica
