Circular dependency on mta and mtaext issue

[mihaileb]

Hello colleagues,
We are using the cf deploy command to deploy an mtar.
Now the mta yaml file contains a configuration which is written in the mtaext configuration file.
When we try to deploy we receive the following error:

Error resolving merged descriptor properties and parameters: Circular reference detected in "dis-cloud-broker#SBF_SERVICE_CONFIG"
Process failed.

The mta file is:

ID: dis-cloud-broker
_schema-version: 3.1.0
description: "dis-cloud-broker"
version: 3.0.11

parameters:
enable-parallel-deployments: true
async-callback-timeout-in-ms: 900 # 15 Minutes
top-level-domain: cloud.sap
brand-subdomain: dim
sbf-service-config-url: "https://dis-integration-service-${space}.${region-subdomain}.${brand-subdomain}.${top-level-domain}"

modules:

• name: dis-cloud-broker
  type: nodejs
  path: srv
  parameters:
  buildpack: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/nodejs-buildpack
  routes:
  - route: https://${provider-subdomain}-dis-cloud-broker-${space}.${internal-custom-subdomain}.${internal-target-domain}

  build-parameters:
  build-result: ./
  builder: custom
  commands:
  - cp -r ../mtaext .
  - npm ci

  ]
  properties:
  DIS_INTEGRATION_SERVICE_INTERNAL_URL: "https://${provider-subdomain}-dis-integration-service-${space}.${internal-custom-subdomain}.${internal-target-domain}"

  This sets max_old_space_size based on the available memory in the instance. This avoids that instances are occasionally restarted due to memory constraints

  OPTIMIZE_MEMORY: true
  NODE_ENV: production
  health-check-type: http
  health-check-http-endpoint: /health

  SBF_SECURE_INCOMING_CONNECTIONS: true

  SBF_SERVICE_MANAGER_CERTIFICATE_SUBJECT: "/C=DE/O=SAP SE/OU=SAP Cloud Platform Clients/OU=Canary/OU=svcmgr-cf-eu12/L=service-manager/CN=service-manager"

  SBF_CATALOG_FILE: ${catalog-path}
  SBF_CREDENTIALS_PROVIDER_SERVICE: dis-xsuaa
  SBF_SERVICE_CONFIG: >
  ${catalog-service-config}

I have ommited some parameters for clarity.
And our mtaext file is:

ID: dis-cloud-broker.catena-qa
_schema-version: '3.1.0'
extends: dis-cloud-broker

parameters:
internal-target-domain: ${default-domain}
internal-custom-subdomain: "dis-cloud-qa"

modules:

• name: dis-cloud-broker
  requires:
  • name: dis-autoscaler
    parameters:
    path: mtaext/autoscaler/autoscaler-config.json

I do not understand from where the circular dependency is coming from.

Thank you,
Bruno.
