Charm deployment to OSM fails

[fotisolgr]

Hello,

I am trying to deploy the powerDNS CNF to OSM and fails by giving me the following error:

error":"cannot upload charm: cannot read charm archive: invalid charm archive: ambiguous root directory","error-code":"bad request.

I am using charmcraft version 1.2.1 and I was able to deploy the same charm in charmcraft version 1.1.1 .

The bundle.yaml I am using is the following one:

description: PowerDNS Bundle
bundle: kubernetes
series: kubernetes
applications:
  powerdns:
    charm: ./charms/powerdns-operator
    scale: 1
  mariadb-k8s:
    charm: cs:~charmed-osm/mariadb-k8s
    scale: 1
    options:
      user: youruser
      password: yourpass
      database: yourdatabase
      root_password: yourootpassword
      mysql_port: "3306"

relations:
- - mariadb-k8s:mysql
  - powerdns:db

And the metadata.yaml is the following one:

description: |
  Kubernetes operator for PowerDNS
summary: |
  PowerDNS is a DNS server program, written in C++ and licensed under the GPL.
  It runs on most Unix derivatives. PowerDNS features a large number of different
  backends ranging from simple BIND style zonefiles to relational databases and
  load balancing/failover algorithms.

series:
  - kubernetes

deployment:
  type: stateless
  service: loadbalancer

requires:
  db:
    interface: mysql
    limit: 1

Any ideas on how to fix that issue would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Fotis

Hello!

Would you please provide the whole logs of the charmcraft execution? You can see them when executing with --verbose or in the file mentioned in the error at the end.

Thanks!

When I'm running charmcraft build --verbose I get the output located here: charmcraft-powerDNS-logs.txt

The build seems to be successful but when I am trying to deploy the charm I get the aforementioned error.

How are you trying to deploy the charm? Which exact command are you running? Thanks!

[fotisolgr]

I am running the following commands to deploy the charm:

osm nfpkg-create ./powerdns_cnf
osm nspkg-create ./powerdns_cnf_ns/
osm ns-create \
  --ns_name powerdns-cnf-ns \
  --nsd_name powerdns_cnf_ns \
  --vim_account "${VIM}" \
  --config '{vld: [ {name: mgmtnet, vim-network-name: external} ] }'

and when I am trying to get the status of the NS by running osm ns-list I get the aforementioned error.

Hey @fotisolgr . It looks there's an issue while deployment.

You may try to deploy directly with juju, to understand if it's an issue with the osm tool or a bigger problem. Probably you should ask for help about this in the forum, as this is not specifically charmcraft related (closing this issue for that reason).

Thanks!

The problem was that I was not using the exact generated .charm file. So, when I changed charm: ./charms/powerdns-operator to charm: ./charms/powerdns-operator/powerdns.charm in bundle.yaml the deployment was successfully completed.
