AGGREGATOR_NEW_VERSION_CHECK_DISABLED=1 - How does it work? #187

Closed jprettyman closed 3 years ago

jprettyman commented 4 years ago

I found documentation for the following setting: AGGREGATOR_NEW_VERSION_CHECK_DISABLED=1 My issue is, I have no idea how to implement this. It speaks of an environment but I am clueless on how to adjust this.

At times updates are provided and and I would like to control when they are delivered. Updating a rule in production must not update the engine unless I have performed testing to ensure all things work.

Good question as the information is a bit sparse in the documentation.

One component is the CLI which manages the Azure Function, the other component is the Rule interpreter runtime uploaded in the Azure Function (see https://tfsaggregator.github.io/docs/v3/design/). The AGGREGATOR_NEW_VERSION_CHECK_DISABLED controls the initial CLI check to update itself; it has no effect on the Interpreter runtime. The disable flag aims at air-gapped scenario where external are blocked; one use the CLI to validate rules and setup the mappings to a dockerised Aggregator instance.

You want to understand how to control the Rule interpreter runtime version. The simplest way is through the --requiredVersion option supported by the install.instance, update.instance, and update.rule commands. Another way is to specify the --sourceUrl option: it accepts both http: and file: URIs. This option permits to use custom built version of the runtime.

Let me know if this clarifies: I will add the explanation to the docs.

OK. My issue must be in getting the format correct for the --requiredVersion. I tried this before and whatever I put in there seemed to be ignored. Likely because I did not get the version identified correctly. when I tried before, I keyed in an older version that was already installed and it upgraded anyway. An example including an example version would be very helpful.

See this example: Create the Aggregator Instance (intermediate).
