| Summary | 0009709: Configs in /usr/share/taler-exchange/config.d/ does not seem to be loaded | ||||
| Description | According to this section configuration files in /usr/share/taler-exchange/config.d/ are loaded as default values: https://docs.taler.net/taler-exchange-manual.html#configuration-fundamentals However, when I run taler-exchange.target I get errors that {AGGREGATOR,CLOSER,TRANSFER,WIREWATCH}_IDLE_SLEEP_INTERVAL are not defined. However, I can confirm they are defined in /usr/share/taler-exchange/config.d/exchange.conf. I also had to define KEY_DIR for the taler-exchange-secmod-* sections even if it is defined as KEY_DIR = ${TALER_DATA_HOME}secmod-cs/keys in the default secmod.conf files. | ||||
| Additional Information | The output of taler-exchange-config --diagnostics does not include the *_IDLE_SLEEP_INTERVAL variables. The header of the output is: # # Configuration file diagnostics # # Entry point: /etc/taler-exchange/taler-exchange.conf # # Files Loaded: # /etc/taler-exchange/taler-exchange.conf # + /etc/taler-exchange/conf.d/exchange-business.conf # ++ /etc/taler-exchange/conf.d/../secrets/exchange-accountcredentials-1.secret.conf (loaded secret section exchange-accountcredentials-1) # + /etc/taler-exchange/conf.d/exchange-coins.conf # + /etc/taler-exchange/conf.d/exchange-secmod.conf # + /etc/taler-exchange/conf.d/exchange-system.conf # ++ /etc/taler-exchange/conf.d/../secrets/exchange-db.secret.conf (loaded secret section exchangedb-postgres) # + /etc/taler-exchange/overrides.conf # # Installation paths: # IPK_DATADIR = /usr/share/taler-exchange/ # IPK_LIBDIR = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/taler-exchange/ # IPK_BINDIR = /usr/bin/ # IPK_LOCALEDIR = /usr/ # IPK_LOCALEDIR = /usr/share/locale/ # IPK_DOCDIR = /usr/share/icons/ # IPK_DOCDIR = /usr/share/doc/taler-exchange/ # IPK_LIBEXECDIR = /usr/taler-exchange/libexec/ # IPK_SELF_PREFIX = /usr/ # | ||||

Which version is this? Specifically, taler-exchange-config -v and gnunet-config -v might be helpful. I just tried on my system, there it of course works... |
|
|
# taler-exchange-config -v taler-exchange-config v0.14.5-git-2cadb9e # gnunet-config -v gnunet-config vdebian-0.23.2_rc.1 git-688e7d6 2025-04-08T15:31:23.936604+0200 gnunet-config-15892 ERROR Unreadable configuration file `(null)', exiting .. |
|
|
I used the apt repository mentioned in the manual. Apt reports the versions to be 0.14.5 and 0.23.2~rc.1 respectively. |
|
|
Is this Ubuntu or Debian? |
|
|
It is debian 12 |
|
|
Can you please try # apt update # apt upgrade I don't see how this would have been broken in the past, but your version is rather old already, and maybe we had something broken briefly. |

I upgraded, but I still get complaints about variables not being defined $ taler-exchange-config -v taler-exchange-config v0.14.9-git-fd5b688 $ gnunet-config -v gnunet-config v0.24.0-debian 2025-04-09T11:39:24.341447+0200 gnunet-config-1502 ERROR Unreadable configuration file `(null)', exiting ... |

Hmm. I see. That log message is actually telling. Seems like GNUNET_CONFIGURATION_default_filename() returns NULL, which it does if it cannot find a configuration file under any of the default locations. Which could make sense, because you didn't actually install GNUnet, so there are no config files for it to find. So that explains why you get an error there and I do not, as I have the GNUnet config files. Anyway, that's a minor GNUnet issue which I've fixed in d98ca65ca..61e696500. Sadly doesn't explain at all why your taler-exchange-config doesn't find the variables. That said, you did try the original commands after the "apt upgrade", right? And it still doesn't find the defaults? Next I guess "strace taler-exchange-config --diagnostics" might be useful to see what it does *try* to do. But very, very strange. |
