> NiFi can duplicate controller services when generating templates
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NIFI-8522
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-8522
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core Framework
> Reporter: Matthew Clarke
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> NiFi throws "The specified observer identifier already exists" exception when
> trying to instantiate a template to the canvas. Parsing the template xml
> reveals multiple controller services with same UUID.
> Steps to reproduce:
> 1. Create "PG-level1"
> 2. within "PG-level1" create two new sub process groups "PG-level2-A" and
> "PG-level2-B".
> 3. Create a controller service(s) in "PG-level2-A" like AvroReader and
> CSVRecordSetWriter. Add a processor like ConvertRecord and configure it to
> reference these two controller services.
> 4. Right click on the ConvertRecord processor and copy it. Exit
> "PG-level2-A" and enter "PG-level2-B" and paste that copy processor. The
> processor will show both configured controller services as "Incompatible
> Controller Service Configured" and invalid bulletin will reflect the
> properties reference controller services that do not exist.
> 5. go up to "PG-level1" level and generate a template. Template is created
> successfully.
> 6. Try to instantiate this template to the canvas and it will only partially
> instantiate and throw the "observer identifier already exist exception.
> Inspection of the template shows that the controller services scoped to
> PG-level2-A were added into the template again at the parent "PG-level1"
> scope with same UUID.
> The expected behavior is that the controller services do not get duplicated
> and the processor in the instantiate template either has no configured
> controller services or still reflects that it references controller
> service(s) that do not exist.
