Cannot add 3rd irule to vip due to priority error even if priorities are different

Joe

 

I have some news (good news !)

 

 

I realized that pycontrol is already out the window and it's on to bigsuds. I must say bigsuds is an improvement ! I like it. I was able to work out the syntax to add an irule in bigsuds without any helper function:

 

 

lb.LocalLB.VirtualServer.add_rule(['/Common/test'], [[{'rule_name':'/Common/api_maintenance', 'priority': 1}]])

 

 

The API could use some more clarity here to be honest - I pieced this together and it took longer than it should have but that aside...

 

 

However, the same problem persists. Then just for giggles I changed the priority to 2 and guess what ? It works !

 

It also works with other numbers but as soon as you try 1 again it bails when there are already 2 rules bound.

 

Bug in the API ?

 

Not sure I care too much since 2 does the trick just fine assuming nobody created a normal rule with P1.

 

Wanted to share that...
