abort_bundle_classe are not working...somwhat

[Xander Cage]

hi,

i'am defining abort bundle classes via augments...

"classes": {
                "services_autorun": ["any"],
                "control_agent_abortbundleclasses": ["ITSV_BUNDLE_ABORT.*"],
                "control_agent_abortclasses": ["ITSV_ABORT.*"],

                "cfengine_internal_purge_policies": [ "any" ],
                "mpf_augments_control_enabled": [ "any" ]
        },

then using it in policy...

what am i doing wrong here?

[Xander Cage]

i found out that the abort stuff need to be defined as vars not as classes, very confusing.

root@aixtestha2c2: /var/cfengine/inputs # /var/cfengine/bin/cf-promises --show-vars | grep -i abort

the abort in the policy still not working.

Can you share the full verbose output from the agent? The above looks good and the bundle should be
aborted. Regarding the 'abortclasses', I think the problem could be with the scope of the result
classes.

i tested with an example policy, to reduce clutter...

root@aixbuildhostng: /var/cfengine/inputs/itsv # cat abort_test.cf


bundle agent b0040abort_test

{

  meta:
    "tags"  slist => { "itsv" };

      "userlist" slist => { "mark", "john", "thomas" };  # contains one invalid entry

      "ITSV_BUNDLE_ABORT_INVALID_USER" not => regcmp("[a-z][a-z][a-z][a-z]","$(userlist)"); # The class 'invalid' is set if the user name does not
      # contain exactly four un-capitalized letters (bundle
      # execution will be aborted if set)

  reports:

    !ITSV_BUNDLE_ABORT_INVALID_USER::

      "User name $(userlist) is valid at 4 letters";

Hi Christian,

From your original post, I can see that you are running 3.12.2.

verbose: Logging total compliance, total 'Outcome of version CFEngine Promises.cf 3.12.2 (agent-0): Promises observed to be kept 100.00%, Promises repaired 0.00%, Promises not repaired 0.00%'

Are you running the MPF from 3.12.2 as well?

I see that augments support for abortbundleclasses and abortclasses were added in 3.12.3. https://github.com/cfengine/masterfiles/commit/e2c4c1c57e51edcb46e80aa906048daea0b75192

What if you pull in controls/cf_agent.cf and controls/def.cf from 3.12.3?

https://github.com/cfengine/masterfiles/blob/3.12.3/controls/cf_agent.cf https://github.com/cfengine/masterfiles/blob/3.12.3/controls/def.cf

Does it work then?

hi nick,

you are absolutley right, after upgrading mpf to 3.12.5 everything works fine...

i noticed one more little thing..since upgrade to the new mpf version this error is printed. it

verbose: C: BEGIN classes / conditions (pass 1)

   error: Unable to parse class expression 'ITSV_BUNDLE_ABORT.*'
 verbose: C:     +  Private class: percent_of_runs
   error: Unable to parse class expression 'ITSV_BUNDLE_ABORT.*'

 verbose: V:     Computing value of 'tags'
 verbose: A: Promise was KEPT
 verbose: P: END meta promise (tags)

first i thouhgt this is caused by the downlevel binary, but 3.12.5 makes no difference. seems that the wildcard class expression in def.json is not playing very well. ('ITSV_BUNDLE_ABORT.*')

[Nick Anderson]

Yes, I encountered the same error yesterday. If you use specific classes and not regular expressions it should work without emitting the errors about being unable to parse the class expression.

I filed an issue for it yesterday: https://tracker.mender.io/browse/CFE-3411

[Xander Cage]

i tested with 3.21.5...

abort and abortbundleclasses defined in augments...

Hey there,

I tried to make a self-contained example to try this out and am not having any troubles with parsing either with 3.21.5 or latest master (3.25.0a).

Maybe you could send a complete verbose log of the smallest reproducer you can manage to the ticket? https://northerntech.atlassian.net/browse/CFE-3411

Here is my def.json, notice I removed some trailing commas you had. Probably not an issue but might be worth fixing. I used `jq` to validate it.

{

  "variables": {

    "default:def.control_agent_abortclasses": {

      "value": [

        "abort_.*"

      ]

    },

    "default:def.control_agent_abortbundleclasses": {

      "value": [

        "bundle_abort_.*"

      ]

    }

  }

}

the self contained policy:

bundle common def

{

  vars:

    "control_agent_abortclasses"

      slist => {},

      if => not( isvariable( "default:def.control_agent_abortclasses" ));

    "control_agent_abortbundleclasses"

      slist => { "abortbundle" },

      if => not( isvariable( "default:def.control_agent_abortbundleclasses" ));

  classes:

    "full_name_exists" expression => isvariable("default:def.control_agent_abortclasses");

    "short_name_exists" expression => isvariable("control_agent_abortclasses");

}

body agent control

{

  abortclasses => { @(def.control_agent_abortclasses) };

  abortbundleclasses => { @(def.control_agent_abortbundleclasses) };

}

bundle agent main

{

  reports: "hi";

    "default:def.control_agent_abortclasses is $(default:def.control_agent_abortclasses)";

    "default:def.control_agent_abortbundleclasses is $(default:def.control_agent_abortbundleclasses)";

    default:full_name_exists::

      "default:def.control_agent_abortclasses is a variable in the context of default:def bundle";

    default:short_name_exists::

      "control_agent_abortclasses is a variable in the context of default:def bundle";

}

and the output:

cf-agent -KIf ./t.cf 

R: hi

R: default:def.control_agent_abortclasses is abort_.*

R: default:def.control_agent_abortbundleclasses is bundle_abort_.*

R: default:def.control_agent_abortclasses is a variable in the context of default:def bundle

R: control_agent_abortclasses is a variable in the context of default:def bundle

And I don't see any parse errors in verbose output:

 verbose: Setting abort classes from ...

 verbose: Setting abort bundle classes from ...

 verbose: ----------------------------------------------------------------

 verbose:  Begin policy/promise evaluation 

 verbose: ----------------------------------------------------------------

i fired up your test policy, and no parsing errors are emited. hmm...

the only difference i can imagine is that i am using autorun in production...maybe the errors are connectd to the autorun facility?

had other problems with autrorun in the past (policy syntax check not working as expected for example)

[Xander Cage]

i will attach a verbose output with parsing errors to  https://northerntech.atlassian.net/browse/CFE-3411

[Xander Cage]

ok, while trying to get the parsing errors i found out they are not going into  the logging facilty but the agent spills it out on stderr or stdout...

not sure what this means...

[Xander Cage]

forget the previous message...the errors are logged...
