Juju deploy, ignoring overlay variables?

1

Hej,

I’m trying to deploy a bundle (stable/openstack), and I’m using an overlay to replace/add/customize the deployment.

However, it seems that the variables that are defined in the overlay are not applied to the model. Hence, I ran

juju deploy bundle.yaml --overlay myOverlay.yaml  --debug --verbose
13:27:26 INFO  juju.cmd supercommand.go:56 running juju [2.9.34 20b8212e62c5d122e63141825a7733bf66c4c5a9 gc go1.18.5]

And when I later ran to check if any of the variables found in the overlay had been modified/adjusted, they were not. They kept their values from the bundle.

I’ve compared my overlay file to other overlay files, and they seem to be similar enough. If I use one of the provided overlays, I get the same complaint about ‘unrecognized field “variables”’.

Any idea what mistake I’m making?

Additional comment. The only thing in the overlay file thats read/acted upon is the machine section. Applications, with bindings are also ignored.

Feels that I’m missing something really fundamental here. Help.

I’m running juju 2.9.34 from snap.
