Description

rollbacking a group change to after the event fails with

Rollback failed : Error when performing eventlog's rollback with id '62' <- Error when unserializing category for file 'directives/ncf_techniques/test_technique/category.xml' <- Unexpected: Entry type is not a <activeTechniqueCategory>: <activeTechnique fileFormat="6">
  <id>05cefa21-ad6d-4928-9ebb-e2a4f1bec9e0</id>

  <versions>
    <version name="1.0">2020-11-04T15:27:29.795Z</version>
  </versions>
</activeTechnique>

EDIT: the problem is that the category.xml file was put at 'directives/ncf_techniques/test_technique/category.xml', when it shouldn't.

We need to discover why that category.xml file was put there.

That `category.xml` file should not be there. That name is reserved for category descriptor, and so its parsing fails.
Have a process to reach the state where you have a file /var/rudder/config-repo/directives/ncf_techniques/XXXX/category.xml present.

Subject changed from category.xml created by mistake in user technique directory breaks rollback to category.xml is created in place of activeTechniqueSettings.xml in all config-repos/directives
Priority changed from 3 to 1 (highest)

So, I misunderstood at first: the problem is not the fact that the category.xml is created, but that it is created in place of the expected activeTechniqueSettings.xml file.

And actually, all activeTechniqueSettings files are named category.xml in 6.2.0!
