How to use the only_validate option on the raw configuration endpoint ?

[qaoru]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the raw configuration update endpoint with the validation option but I cannot get it working.

The version that I'm using is

HAProxy Data Plane API v3.0.4-ee1 d354a7ec

When I use the only_validate option, I only have this response :

validation error: exit status 1

I tired to put some commands in the parameters as mentioned in #342 without success.
I even tried with a /bin/true as validate_cmd and still got the same error.

Am I missing something ? Debug logs do not add any informations regarding the error

Since this is regarding the enterprise version, this issue has been handled by HAProxy's support.

But for other people reading this issue:

• the validate_cmd option has no impact here because it is only used with transactions, not the /raw API
• the issue is certainly a miss-configured haproxy (or hapee-lb for enterprise) binary
• we have improved the only_validate feature to return HAProxy's errors in the response, instead of just returning the exit status. This will be available in the next release.

This should be fixed in the latest version.
