Ramon, I tried following input
body common control {
bundlesequence => { "main" };
}
bundle common g {
classes:
any::
"class_a" expression => "any";
}
bundle agent main {
vars:
any::
"classname" string => "class_b";
classes:
any::
"$(classname)" expression => "any";
reports:
class_a::
"print: This should always be printed.";
any::
"print: This should work."
ifvarclass => "class_b";
"print: This should work."
ifvarclass => "$(classname)";
}
but cf-agent stops in policy validation phase and outputs
reports promises may not be in class 'any' - risk of a notification
explosion, near token 'ifvarclass'
This is not the problem you described, but I'm still amazed. My complex
configuration does work and this example doesn't. I couldn't figure out why.
On the whole I think that the restriction is too strict, firstly because of the
problem in question and secondly because I want some bundles to always report
when they are called using 'methods' promises. Currently we are forced to use
one wide reaching class (see Ben's response) to avoid the problem.
However regarding to your first problem I often use verbose output (-v flag) to
analyze if promises are triggered or not. Does this give you more insight?
