3 years ago To further illustrate why this is an issue:
We have 3 services: frontend, backend, database. backend is dependent on database and will fail if the database is not ready.
By simply describing these services in the correct order, we expect them to be executed in that order.
Because the current state executes them alphabetically, we have to work around it by naming the services like 0_database, 1_backend, 2_frontend.
But then we run into other issue when some FR expect the service to have a specific value (ansible role host pattern)
Expected Result
Services execute in the order specified in the SAT
Actual Result
Services execute in alphabetical order by service name
Steps To Reproduce
Create SAT with two services, make the order in the SAT config file non alphabetical.
