Bug #26325
open
Resolved properties conflicts still appear as errors in status
Description
- All debians define dns_server = 1.1.1.1
- Production servers defines dns_server = 9.9.9.9
So i created a group to order
and the policy generation fails
UPDATE: the policy generation works, but the error saying that there is an group overridding error is not cleared when the conflict is resolved
The error message tells me to do exactly what I am doing
UPDATE: because the error message is not correctly cleared on conflict resolution

Updated by François ARMAND 16 days ago
- Description updated (diff)
- Severity changed from Critical - prevents main use of Rudder | no workaround | data loss | security to Minor - inconvenience | misleading | easy workaround
- Priority changed from 180 to 137
So, after further investigation, the problem is not about blocking generation, but about correctly clearing the conflict error message when the conflict is resolved.
I double checked, and:
- the generation is correctly finished (as we can see in the given screenshot in top post, the generation part has a green check)
- nodes properties.d/properties.json contains the correct variable's value resolved by overridding.
I changed the severity to "misleading" accordingly.

- Subject changed from Properties override in groups with ordering does not work anymore on 8.2.4 to Resolved properties conflicts still appear as errors in status
As mentioned above, the conflict is resolved in generated policies, and this is a display problem : the errors should be resolved in the cached properties, and not show in "Group properties errors"

The property is not also displayed in the resolving parent group, but it should.
Example for a test property, overriden with foo and bar and resolved with a group with ordering Foo, Bar :
