No path to region

[pschichtel]

Hi, I've not actually found helpful information and I feel like it might actually be a bug in nomad-pack:

I have a rather simple pack for an internal application. It contains just one template. When I render it and deploy it with nomad job plan and nomad job run, then everything works fine as I'd expect it.

However, if I use nomad-pack plan or nomad-pack run directly, then I'm always presented with this output:

! Failed Job Conflict Validation

        Error:   No path to region
        Type:    *v1.APIError
        Context: 
                 - Template Name: kotlin_demo/templates/kotlin_demo.nomad.tpl

Nomad client version: v1.5.6 (from nomad version)

you seem to be hitting #266, good news is a fix will be released soon.

In the mean time you have to do export NOMAD_REGION=$YOURREGIONNAME nomad-pack run

I looked at #266 and the related PR #366 and it seems this assumes I configured a region in my job spec, but I haven't. I guess my deployment relies on the server default, which nomad-pack doesn't use.

[pschichtel]

The documentation says "NOMAD_REGION - The region of the Nomad server to forward commands to. Defaults to the Agent's local region", I guess that default is simply missing?

This is one of those times where nomad-pack currently is different from the vanilla nomad cli. Hence this confusing behaviour which has bitten me more than once. But as i said the nomad team has fixed this in #366, coming to a nightly/release near you soon

[pschichtel]

Ah I just realized that your nightly tag isn't actually moved nightly. I'll build from master then.

[pschichtel]

Yep, I can confirm it's working on main branch.

Hey @pschichtel,

Ah I just realized that your nightly tag isn't actually moved nightly.

Apologies for this, I'll look into the CI config to see what's going on there. Happy to hear main build works as expected.

[pschichtel]

I've setup two AUR package for nomad pack: nomad-pack-git (builds main) and nomad-pack-nightly (builds the nightly tag), so I'm covered for now :)
