Hi. I am in communication with a CFEngine 2 site that would like to move to CFEngine 3, but the ability to specify the lists of inputs and bundlesequence is a potential showstopper.
I pointed them to Neil's http://watson-wilson.ca/2011/09/dynamic-bundlesequence-in-cfengine.html but it does not work if the classes are specified within the common bundle (i.e. instead of specifying -Dcf_dbs on the command line, the policy contains a promise to define "cf_dbs" inline: classes: "cf_dbs" expression => "linux"; ) cf-agent then complains: Scalar variable "bseq" contains itself (non-convergent): @{bseq} Variable "bseq" contains itself indirectly - an unkeepable promise Here is the complete self-contained example (it's just Neil's example plus the classes promise above): --start quote-- bundle common g { classes: "cf_dbs" expression => "linux"; vars: any:: "bseq" slist => { "site", "ntp", "hard" }, policy => "free"; cf_dbs:: "bseq" slist => { @{bseq}, "db2", "mysql" }, policy => "free"; cf_webfarm:: "bseq" slist => { @{bseq}, "httpd", "proxy" }, policy => "free"; } body common control { bundlesequence => { "@{g.bseq}" }; } bundle agent site{ reports: cfengine_3:: "site bundle"; } bundle agent ntp{ reports: cfengine_3:: "ntp bundle"; } bundle agent hard{ reports: cfengine_3:: "hard bundle"; } bundle agent db2{ reports: cfengine_3:: "db2 bundle"; } bundle agent mysql{ reports: cfengine_3:: "mysql bundle"; } bundle agent httpd{ reports: cfengine_3:: "httpd bundle"; } bundle agent proxy{ reports: cfengine_3:: "proxy bundle"; } --end quote-- Why does Neil's example work with -Dcf_dbs but does not work when the class is defined in the promise file? (If I remove the classes promise, the code runs under cf-agent just fine.) So - is it possible to have a dynamic bundlesequence when there are custom classes in play? If so, how?
