post-transaction-actions not triggered

[tdewolff]

I've added the following line to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf:

pluginconfpath=/etc/dnf/plugins

I've create the file /etc/dnf/plugins/post-transaction-actions.conf:

[main]
enabled = 1
actiondir = /etc/dnf/plugins/post-transaction-actions.d/

I've created /etc/dnf/plugins/post-transaction-actions.d/test.action:

*:any:echo "DOES IT WORK?" >> /tmp/trans.log

But the action is never executed. I'm running CentOS Stream 8 and dnf-plugin-extras is installed. What could be wrong here?

What OS does this happen on? And what version of dnf?

[tdewolff]

Most likely I must have missed a configuration for this to work? Examples are scarce.

On CentOS Stream 8, this will work if you install the python3-dnf-plugin-post-transaction-actions. I just confirmed it locally.

Thanks, that was it!
