Hi, We're using CQ 5.4 which in turn is using Sling & the org.apache.sling.installer.provider.jcr bundle version 3.0.4, and I'm seeing some behaviour which may be a bug, but may be a misunderstanding on my part. I've been experimenting with environment configuration as per http://www.pro-vision.de/adaptto/downloads/2011_lightning_Runmodes_and_Configs_for_Fun_and_Profit.pdf and http://sling.apache.org/site/jcr-installer-provider.html.
I've set extra run modes on the instance I'm running by setting -Dsling.run.modes=author,mycompany,dev. I've created a sample project that creates the following structure: /apps/my-cq-project/runmodes/config.author /apps/my-cq-project/runmodes/config.author.dev /apps/my-cq-project/runmodes/config.author.dev.mycompany and I enabled debug log level for org.apache.sling.installer.provider.jcr.impl.FolderNameFilter. So this is what I see for priorities etc : 2012-05-15 09:09:05.342 DEBUG [org.apache.sling.installer.provider.jcr.impl.FolderNameFilter] getPriority(/apps/my-cq-project/runmodes/config.author)=201 (prefix=/config, run modes=[author]) 2012-05-15 09:09:05.343 DEBUG [org.apache.sling.installer.provider.jcr.impl.FolderNameFilter] getPriority(/apps/my-cq-project/runmodes/config.author.dev.mycompany)=202 (prefix=/config.author, run modes=[mycompany, dev]) 2012-05-15 09:09:05.343 DEBUG [org.apache.sling.installer.provider.jcr.impl.FolderNameFilter] getPriority(/apps/my-cq-project/runmodes/config.author.dev)=201 (prefix=/config.author, run modes=[dev]) So this seems wrong to me, as the folder config.author has the same priority as config.author.dev. And indeed, if I delete the config files from config.author.dev.mycompany the config in config.author (if present) wins over config.author.dev. I'd expect config.author.dev to win as it has more of the run modes present in the name. It looks like the bug may be present in the code that works out the prefix, as it differs as you can see. Additionally, if I create a new folder with the name config.mycompany.author.dev I see : 2012-05-15 09:31:00.162 DEBUG [org.apache.sling.installer.provider.jcr.impl.FolderNameFilter] getPriority(/apps/my-cq-project/runmodes/config.mycompany.author.dev)=203 (prefix=/config, run modes=[dev, author, mycompany]) So in theory config.mycompany.author.dev should have the same priority as config.author.dev.mycompany but they don't. So my questions are : 1. Is my understanding wrong, or is it a bug ? 2. Given this behaviour what naming convention would you recommend ? config.<company>.<environment>.[author|dev] ? Thanks, Jon.
