Description

If we have two Directive built from the same Technique, but from different versions of that Technique, then trying to apply them to the same Node (in the same Rule or in different Rules) leads to a generation error.

This is due to a long known technical limitation of Rudder: Rudder merge all Directive from a same Technique into only ONE set of policy files, with one set of parameters (where all the parameters of the different techniques are merged). Of course, this can't be working when the parameter or the files are not the same, which is generally the case for different versions.

This is quite annoying and extremelly confusing for user, and make Technique version migration a nightmare (see #4293)

This will not be fixed in 2.4. It needs thought and discussion in the light of the future of the Techniques repo.

In 2.10 and up, we have an error message at generation time: "There are directives based on techniques with different versions applied to the same node, please correct the version for the following directive(s): XXX".

So closing that bug.

OK, the bug as it stands is not corrected. The problem was not that there wasn't an explanation, but that it is not possible to use several Techniques version on a node.

So in fact, this ticket is duplicated by #6258.

Reopengin it with a major importance.

I'm inclined to make that ticket as a bug. It is totally non expected for user to not be able to do that, and a very clear limitation without workaround that make other totally normal use case, like technique migration, a nightmare.
