Description

Let's say we want to define ip for interface bond0, and we set the variable IPADDR of file "/etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-bon
d0" to "IPADDR='${sys.ipv4[bond0]}'"

if IP is not existing, this policy will be silently skipped, and we won't know why

This is the parent ticket for this issue, making a subticket for the case of "file content", toreport an error is nothing is to be done at all

This hardcoded in CFEngine, and even CFEngine core team knows how to correct that.

We can't prevent it from Rudder because we don't know (and can't know) statically what are the defined variables (most are defined during run).

Moreover, there's several cases: the hardest case is when the variable is not defined in a promiser, because in such a case, the iteration engine just don't have the missing iteration. Somewhere in the code, there's a part that wait for variable definition to add in the iteration list, and that never happens.

So we may not be able to even log for that.

Some subcase may perhaps be endled. For example, in templates (enforce a file content), when for ex ${sys. the ipv6 interface} is empty, we may be able to not skip it.
