Unable to use the 'ui' stanza in nomad config

I’m using Nomad 1.2.2, and according to the documentation here: ui Stanza - Agent Configuration | Nomad by HashiCorp it should be possible to start a ui{…} block at the root of the nomad.hcl file, but no matter where I place the block (in root, in other blocks, etc.), nomad refuses to launch claiming that the ‘ui’ key is unrecognised.

Is the documentation out of date, or am I putting this in the wrong place?

Hi @John_Vidler! That feature actually hasn’t shipped yet; we’d expect it to be in Nomad 1.2.3. It shouldn’t be showing up in the documentation yet… but we’re in the middle of transitioning to “versioned docs” and I think we might have had a backporting mixup in the process of doing that. Stay tuned for Nomad 1.2.3!

Right ok, that makes sense.

As a suggestion, can we include something like ‘Introduced in v1.2.3’ somewhere on the pages, so even when mistakes happen its clear that its not just user error?

@tgross

A “Yay!” for versioned docs, and a question about existing doc bugs … somewhere (I forgot which subsection), I noticed a beta 1.1 (or 1.1 beta) text around a parameter.

Should we just raise a PR for such discoveries?

For those who might find this at the moment, 1.2.3 also doesn’t appear to support this.

@John_Vidler looking at this issue, I see that it’s in the 1.2.4 milestone.

Yeah, Nomad 1.2.3 ended up being a security release, so everything that was in 1.2.3 ended up in 1.2.4 (to be released soon!)

Yes, thanks!

Finally got around to pulling the latest (1.2.5) update and testing this again, now all working… although perhaps I’m being blind, but what does the integration actually… integrate?

I don’t see any obvious changes in the UIs for any of the services… perhaps I have further stuff misconfigured :confused:
