usable variable TARGET doesn't change after a fail test

[geoffrey-guiramand]

Hello,

we tried to use TARGET variable in delegate mode but when a node failed the service before, the TARGET used doesn't change.

an exemple, this is the yaml we used:

---
services:        
  test_failed: 
    desc: "test for tags failed on pm9-nod66"   
    target: "@compute" 
    actions:
      test:  
        cmd: 'hostnamectl | grep pm9-nod66'  
  test_TARGET:  
    desc: "test for TARGET"
    target: "@compute"
    mode: delegate   
    require_filter: [test_failed] 
    actions:
    test:   
    cmd: { printf "Target value [%%s]\n" "%TARGET"; exit 1; }

the milkcheck response :

[root@mngt0-1 step0]# milkcheck test --report=full -c /home/gguiramand/milkcheck/conf/ -n $nodeset --verbose

test test_failed on pm8-nod01,pm9-nod66
  > hostnamectl | grep pm9-nod66 
test test_failed ran in 0.20 s
  > pm9-nod66: Transient hostname: pm9-nod66 
  > pm9-nod66 exited with 0 
  > pm8-nod01 exited with 1
test_failed - test for tags failed on pm9-nod66                                                            [  ERROR  ] 
test test_TARGET on pm9-nod66 
  > { printf "Target value [%s]\n" "pm8-nod01,pm9-nod66"; exit 1; } 
test test_TARGET ran in 0.01 s
  > localhost: Target value [pm8-nod01,pm9-nod66] 
  > localhost exited with 1
test_TARGET - test for TARGET                                                                              [  ERROR  ] 

 SUMMARY - 2 actions (2 failed) 
 + test_failed.test - test for tags failed on pm9-nod66   
  Target: pm8-nod01
  Command: hostnamectl | grep pm9-nod66 
 + test_TARGET.test - test for TARGET 
  Target: localhost 
  Command: { printf "Target value [%s]\n" "pm8-nod01,pm9-nod66"; exit 1; } 

we can see here that the TARGET usable variable does not change when a node has failed a previous test.

[17:59:29] INFO     - Variable content '#[[ %MILKCHECK_AUTOMATE_CLARY == 1 ]] || exit 0
{ printf "Target value [%%s]\n" "%TARGET"; exit 1; }
#clary_statuses=(%CLARY_STATUSES)
#%CLARY_STATE_EXECBIN -c "MilkCheck Step 2: PASSED" -n "%TARGET" -s "${clary_statuses[3]}"
' replaced by '#[[ 1 == 1 ]] || exit 0
{ printf "Target value [%s]\n" "pm8-nod01,pm9-nod66"; exit 1; }
#clary_statuses=(step0 step1 step2 step3.1 step3.2 step3.3 prod)
#/usr/sbin/clary-state -c "MilkCheck Step 2: PASSED" -n "pm8-nod01,pm9-nod66" -s "${clary_statuses[3]}"
'

with the verbose option we can see the Variable was changed only once before services and not durring. That's Normal ?
