Subject: promise not respecting lock if log_string value changes
Author: bbomgardner
Link to topic: https://cfengine.com/forum/read.php?3,22212,22212#msg-22212
I have noticed that if the contents of log_string changes between executions of
cf-agent (for example using $(sys.date)) the promise no longer follows any
locks. I suspect that cf-agent takes the contents of log_string into account
when creating an id/hash for the promise lock, but I don't know for sure. It
seems that this is not intended given the examples of log_string using
$(sys.date) in the ref guide.
I am testing with 3.1.5. Does anyone else see this behavior?
body common control {
bundlesequence => { "test" };
}
bundle agent test {
files:
"/tmp/blah"
handle => "test_file",
comment => "This is my favorite file.",
create => "true",
action => if_elapsed_test("5");
commands:
"/bin/date"
action => if_elapsed_test("5");
}
body action if_elapsed_test(x)
{
ifelapsed => "$(x)";
expireafter => "$(x)";
log_string => "$(sys.date)";
#log_string => "test";
}
