sensu_agent resource attempting to do impossible reloads on upgrade

[wduncanfraser]

It looks like #132 has caused this cookbook to start failing converging for me when Sensu is being upgraded.

There is no reload operation defined in the systemd unit file shipped with the Sensu agent (At least on CentOS 7), which causes this to fail every time.

It looks like the original intent of the above PR was to fix the unit file itself not getting reloaded. This needs to go through a daemon-reload or through systemd generators. "reload" on a systemd unit has to be implemented in the unit, and is for the unit to reload itself if it can, without restarting.

sensu_agent 'default' do version node['ac_sensu_agent']['version'] end

Output

Impact

Cookbook failing to converge on agent upgrade.

Expected Behavior

Succesful upgrade of Sensu agents.

Actual Behavior

Converge failure due to undefined reload operation in systemd unit.

For some reason I have not run into this when upgrading agents. Does it make sense to revert the change from #132 and replace it with something like this?

  package 'sensu-go-agent' do
      if latest_version?(new_resource.version)
        action :upgrade
        notifies :run, 'execute[daemon-reload]', :immediately
        notifies :restart, 'service[sensu-agent]', :delayed
      else
        version new_resource.version
        action :install
      end
    end

    execute 'daemon-reload' do
      command 'systemctl daemon-reload'
      action :nothing
    end
