- Includes some bug fixes for previous `api` work and `agent` that weren't tested
- Needed somewhat pervasive changes to support hash based blocking - some TODOs left in our watch toolchain that will explicitly fail on hash-based watches.
- Integration into `connect` is partially done here but still WIP
This has an explcit unit test already which somehow passes at least some of the time. I suspect it passes because under some conditions the actual KV delete fails and returns non-zero as well as printing the warning which is what is being checked for in the test.
For some reason despite working for quite some time like this, I now have a branch in which this test fails consistently. It may be a timing/env issue where another process running an agent causes the delete to be successful so the command returns a 0 by chance. Either way this is clearly wrong and fixing it stops the test being flaky in my branch.
Calling twice appears to have no adverse effects, however serves to
confuse as to what the semantics of such code may be! This seems like it
was probably introduced while resolving conflicts during the merge of
the fix for #2404.
The root cause is actually that the agent's streaming HTTP API didn't flush until the first log line was found which commonly was pretty soon since the default level is INFO. In cases where there were no logs immediately due to level for instance, the client gets stuck in the HTTP code waiting on a response packet from the server before we enter the loop that checks the shutdown channel from the signal handler.
This fix flushes the initial status immediately on the streaming endpoint which lets the client code get into it's expected state where it's listening for shutdown or log lines.
The `consul agent` command was ignoring extra command line arguments
which can lead to confusion when the user has for example forgotten to
add a dash in front of an argument or is not using an `=` when setting
boolean flags to `true`. `-bootstrap true` is not the same as
`-bootstrap=true`, for example.
Since all command line flags are known and we don't expect unparsed
arguments we can return an error. However, this may make it slightly
more difficult in the future if we ever wanted to have these kinds of
arguments.
