surface hook errors

[Stuart Bishop]

[Edit: Juju was working fine, except that it was swallowing an error from my hook making it difficult to diagnose and look like Juju was at fault]

I just bootstrapped a fresh lxd controller and deployed cs:postgresql and cs:ntp to the default model, and related postgresql and ntp.

The ntp install hook failed with:

unit-ntp-0: 16:45:55 ERROR juju.worker.dependency "metric-collect" manifold worker returned unexpected error: failed to read charm from: /var/lib/juju/agents/unit-ntp-0/charm: stat /var/lib/juju/agents/unit-ntp-0/charm: no such file or directory

Automatic retries also fail:

unit-ntp-0: 16:45:56 INFO juju.worker.uniter found queued "install" hook
unit-ntp-0: 16:45:56 ERROR juju.worker.uniter.operation hook "install" failed: fork/exec /var/lib/juju/agents/unit-ntp-0/charm/hooks/install: no such file or directory

That last error is peculiar, because the file actually exists:

ubuntu@juju-e02564-0:/var/lib/juju/agents/unit-ntp-0/charm/hooks$ ls -al /var/lib/juju/agents/unit-ntp-0/charm/hooks/install
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Oct 3 09:45 /var/lib/juju/agents/unit-ntp-0/charm/hooks/install -> ntp_hooks.py

[Stuart Bishop (stub)]

In debug-hooks:

root@juju-517c57-0:/var/lib/juju/agents/unit-ntp-0/charm# hooks/install
bash: hooks/install: /usr/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Juju needs to log this failure, rather than hide it with a message that makes it look like Juju's fault.

Moving this to high as it is impacting multiple users

[Anastasia (anastasia-macmood)]

Removing 2.1 milestone as we will not be addressing this issue in 2.1.

Re-named to reflect required change.
