(Local) Agent autoregistering with specified environment

[raids]

Hi,

When I use the LWRP the creation of local Go agents, the environments parameter doesn't seem to do anything.

By local, I mean on the same machine as the Go CD Server.

Here's an example of my LWRP implementation:

for i in 0..(node['wrapper_gocd']['agents'] -1)
  name = "go-agent-#{i}"
  gocd_agent name do
    go_server_host 'localhost'
    go_server_port 8153
    daemon true
    vnc    true
    autoregister_key
    autoregister_hostname name
    environments "Alpha"
  end
end

I've tried a few different inputs besides a string, such as an array, or referencing an attribute like #{node['wrapper_gocd']['go_env']}.

I haven't tried with remote agents, but I don't see any issues raised for that, so could this be an issue exclusive to remote agent creation or am I missing something (most likely)?

Thanks,
Raid

Hi, it may be a bug.
You can pass a string or array of strings, that should not be an issue.

the environments parameter doesn't seem to do anything.

Could you check the contents of autoregister.properties file in your agent's directory? It should have something like

agent.auto.register.environments = Alpha

Also do you have environment created in Go server?

Hey @tomzo

There's no autoregister.properties actually created in my agent's directory. The agent registers to the server just fine, however.

I ran into this when testing the Go backup/restore functionality, so the environments are created as part of the restore. The agents are created after the restore.
