How to pass extra options since refactor?

[scalp42]

Hi @johnbellone

Any clues on how to pass extra options for the agent?

I'm looking at retry_join for example, but not sure how to pass it in a wrapper cookbook, as the resource does not have it (https://github.com/johnbellone/consul-cookbook/blob/master/libraries/consul_config.rb#L69).

Another example is the typo recurser in cookbook vs recursor in the config resource. How can I correctly pass recursor instead of recurser ?

Would allowing a hash config make more sense instead of duplicating the agent config in the resource?

Thanks in advance

I'm ending up with something like this:

file node['wrapper']['config_path'] do
  owner node['consul']['service_user']
  group node['consul']['service_group']
  mode '644'
  content lazy { JSON.pretty_generate(node['wrapper']['config_settings'], quirks_mode: true) }
end

consul_service node['consul']['service_name'] do |r|
  user node['consul']['service_user']
  group node['consul']['service_group']
  version node['consul']['version']
  config_file node['gz-consul']['config_path']
  node['consul']['service'].each_pair { |k, v| r.send(k, v) }
  subscribes :restart, %|file[#{node['wrapper']['config_path']}|, :delayed
  action [:enable, :start]
end

I have a quick solution to this in the short term, but we should fix the bugs in the configuration. If there are any additional options added we should check against those. I'll have a change up in a little bit.

One of the other workaround is to also drop a JSON in config-dir as it'll be merged with the config-file passed:

exec /usr/bin/env consul agent -config-file=/etc/consul.json -config-dir=/etc/consul

The later -config-dir=/etc/consul will override the defaults from the resource.
