dhcp requested WAN ip address doesn't get search parameter in /etc/resolv.conf in 1.2.0-rolling+201902210337
Open, NormalPublic

Description

I helped confirm which versions of vyos had the https://phabricator.vyos.net/T1259 "feature"

I had a vm (kvm based) with 1.2.0-rc7.
I added todays rolling image.
It clearly had newer openvpn package.
So i wanted to install official 1.2.0 image to see what version of openvpn it has.
I couldn't add the official image because the hostname couldn't be resolved.
The rolling version had a /etc/resolv.conf but was totally empty.
After adding a line with "nameserver 192.x.y.z" i was able to add the image, reboot .
After reporting about in the other phabricator task, i rebooted in the 3 versions now available on my vm,.
1.2.0-rc7 & 1.2.0 final were fully functional.
the rolling version after reboot now does have the "nameserver 192.x.y.z" line but lacks the "search [domain]" line

I did however find 2 files related to this in /etc:

vyos@vyos:~$ show system image
The system currently has the following image(s) installed:

1: 1.2.0
2: 1.2.0-rolling+201902210337 (default boot)
3: 1.2.0-rc7

vyos@vyos:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf

Autogenerated by host_name.py

nameserver 192.168.1.1

vyos@vyos:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
resolv.conf resolv.conf.dhclient-new-eth0
vyos@vyos:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf.dhclient-new-eth0
search bitsource.net
nameserver 192.168.1.1

I will add tomorrows new rolling image (with the fixed openvpn issue) to my VM and update asap.

@fromport http://dev.packages.vyos.net/repositories/current/vyos/pool/main/v/vyos-1x/vyos-1x_1.3.0-3_all.deb or Feb 23rd rolling release. If it's urgent I can trigger a build for you.

@fromport does the new pkg solve the issue you are seeing? It did during all my tests.

Why isn't it included in the new nightly builds ?

I just installed the last nightly and still no luck;

vyos@vyos:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf

So I downloaded & installed the new package:

Your package seems to fix it.
Please include it in the new nightly builds!

That should be already in there for a few days now.

syncer moved this task from In Progress to Finished on the VyOS 1.3 Equuleus board.

@hagbard need to confirm it in the crux too

syncer moved this task from Needs Triage to In Progress on the VyOS 1.2 Crux (VyOS 1.2.1) board.

There is still an issue with it, when the system is rebooted all is working as expected, but when you configure dhcp on the fly, hostname.py is still doing something weird and leaves resolv.conf broken.

Dhcp client doesn't trigger hostname.py, I'll check if I can get that working.

Ok, so I found it. host_name.py is being called when dhcp had been configured and the system rebooted. vyatta-cfg-system didn't call host_name.py when an interface is configured via dhcp, so when you configure dhcp for the first time and don't reboot /etc/resolv.conf stayed empty.
I need to test it in crux, but i think there is the same issue, therefore you would need 2 commit in crux, host_name.py and the one from the address node in vyatta-cfg-system.

syncer added a subscriber: dmbaturin.

Since @dmbaturin reverted this, reopen

dmbaturin set Is it a breaking change? to Unspecified (possibly destroys the router).
dmbaturin set Issue type to Unspecified (please specify).
