Hi all,
In two days or so, we are going to merge [1].
Without it, if you have events (functions with a '(a)plugin.event'
decoration) that due to before=/after= requirements, otopi could not
comply with their priority=, it will continue, ignoring this and only
writing a message to the console if you set OTOPI_DEBUG=1.
With this change, it will fail.
Under normal circumstances, you'll see nothing in the console or the
log, just an exit code of 1.
If you set an environment variable OTOPI_DEBUG=1, it will emit a
"RuntimeError: Priorities were reversed during buildSequence" error,
see examples below.
You can restore the existing behavior by setting another env var
OTOPI_ALLOW_PRIORITY_OVERRIDE=1 .
Soon thereafter, we are going to merge [2]. This will replace the
algorithm that is used to decide what to run when. In principle, after
[1] is merged, they should be compatible. However, the new algorithm
does not allow overriding priorities. To revert to the old algorithm,
you can set env var OTOPI_ALLOW_LEGACY_BUILDSEQ=1 . The old algorithm
(and this option) is intended to be removed eventually, probably after
oVirt 4.0 is released.
Patches to make engine-setup (engine+dwh+reports) and host-deploy
compatible with the new behavior were already merged to master
branches. Still we most likely forgot some other tools/flows/etc., so
if you encounter such failures please open a bug against the relevant
tool.
On a more positive (?) side, we also recently added a new package to
master, called otopi-debug-plugins. It currently includes two plugins,
which are not enabled by default. One of them allows you to get a
prompt 'Press Enter to continue' on [ERROR], so it's easier to have a
look at the system before the tool might try to rollback or something,
the other allows you to enforce a failure at a certain stage, which
might be useful to debug/verify failures and especially rollbacks.
More details about these are in a new README file [3].
