If Safeguard probe is invalid, CTK just ignores it and continues running. about chaostoolkit-addons

[Lawouach]

Oh right. The ctk validator is unaware that this particular control uses probes to achieve its goal. So they are not validated.

I can't make the validator support that but I could bring the validation into the control itself, when we configure it.

Sure, as long as it stops the experiment and throws an error, would be fantastic :)

[Lawouach]

Yeap. I can't work on this today but I'll try tomorrow, ping me otherwise :)

[WixoLeo]

Awesome thank you! @Lawouach

Hey @WixoLeo could you try the latest commit on master and see if that works?

Found the reason why my fix wasn't enough. I'll have to update the ctk core lib and release it for this. On it.

[Lawouach]

Once this one is merged and released, i'll update this repo accordingly chaostoolkit/chaostoolkit-lib#225

Awesome, thank you @Lawouach, absolute pro!

[Lawouach]

Hey @WixoLeo I have updated the master branch with the changes from ctklib 1.20.0, feel free to give it a spin :)

[WixoLeo]

Hey @WixoLeo I have updated the master branch with the changes from ctklib 1.20.0, feel free to give it a spin :)

So I've tested it, and it seems like it's still not working..
I used ctk, ctk-lib and addons from master branch

[Lawouach]

Could you upload a ctk log file here and your experiment again?

The log says:

Maybe you're not updated properly?

I've done a clean install, this happened:

If I remove the probe and leave just the control in, it's going good

[Lawouach]

Good and bad. Good because it uses now the chaosaddon as expected, bad because that chaosaddon master is broken in your case. Let me look.

[Lawouach]

I think this is fixed in 98bcd4a

[WixoLeo]

Amazing! It's working! Thank you very much! @Lawouach Absolute pro!
