Change on Consul / Vault variable drops nomad-pack related metadata, because of template reload

[linuxmail]

hi,

right now we using Levant and templates, where we can edit / change / Consul variables for the running containers with a template entry like:

        driver = "docker"
          template {
            data = <<EOH
            {{key "nomad/auth_api/environment"}}
            EOH
              destination = "local/env"
              env         = true
          }

Nomad will refresh container(s) and all is fine .. but using nomad-pack .. it reverts from a nomad-pack deployed app, to a normal container. If we try to update the container via CI as Normad-pack again .. it fails:

echo "${LOCAL_CERT}" > $CI_PROJECT_DIR/server.crt # collapsed multi-line command ! Failed Job Conflict Validation ! Error: job with id "project1" already exists and is not managed by nomad pack ! Context: ! Template Name: project1/templates/project1.nomad.tpl Error: Failed to deploy nomad pack Cleaning up project directory and file based variables 00:01 ERROR: Job failed: exit code 1

The only way for now is to remove the job and redeploy.

Is that expected ? How can we avoid it or is it a bug ?
