Unpredictable fleetctl load following fleetctl destroy

[phuongnd08]

So I have a service file, loaded with fleet and then modified it, then reload it with:

fleetctl stop redisrep.service
fleetctl destroy redisrep.service
fleetctl load services/replication-instances/redisrep.service

I then cat the file from systemd perspective:
cat /run/systemd/system/redisrep.service

The content is then the old unchanged one.
If I run these commands one by one with small delay in the middle, then the content is updated.
What's going on?

What version of fleet is this? It sounds like you are describing the issue in #866, but that was resolved some time ago.

[phuongnd08]

$ fleetctl --version
fleetctl version 0.8.3

[jonboulle]

@phuongnd08 That is the client; can you confirm that the fleet agents in your cluster are running the same version? e.g. fleetd --version

[jonboulle]

@phuongnd08 Hrm, actually it looks like the fix didn't make it in until 0.9.0, which is in the CoreOS alpha and should make it into the next beta release - are you able to upgrade by any chance?

[phuongnd08]

fleetd --version return 0.8.3 as well. I'm trying to upgrade to alpha now. Thanks

[phuongnd08]

Btw, when will the next beta be released? Our team is a bit concerning regarding the alpha label.

Also I'm running coreos-alpha on Digital Ocean and still see fleetctl --version is reporitng 0.8.3

@marineam @crawford any idea?

Weird, what does /etc/os-release say?

[phuongnd08]

VERSION_ID=540.0.0

@phuongnd08 Given that two days passed between you checking fleetd --version and cat /etc/os-release, could you please re-check the output of fleetd --version again? I think you may have checked just before 540.0.0 was released.

[phuongnd08]

Okay, just checked, I got fleet 0.9.0 now.

Awesome, I just retried and can see that fleetctl is loading the changed service file properly. Thank you!
