Hi all, I'm trying to test heat templates, but when I reference the IP of a server in the user_data definition of the server itself I see a CircularDependencyException...

Which is the best way to do what I have in mind (basically modify a config file on my server with the actual IP). Here the snippet related with the error:

serv:
    type: OS::Nova::Server
    properties:
      name: serv
      image: image-new
      flavor: m1.small
      key_name: { get_param: KeyName }
      user_data:                                                        
        str_replace:                                                    
          template: |                                                   
            #!/bin/bash -x
        echo hola >> /home/ubuntu/hola.txt
            sudo sed -i s/\<privateIP\>/"%server_ip%"/g /etc/hola/config
          params:       
            "%server_ip%": {get_attr: [serv, first_address]}         
      networks: 
        - port: { get_resource: server_port }

ISSUE UPDATE

Is there a way to extract thos info directly from the heat template?

You can extract it executing some command in the instances.

For example:

/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | grep 'inet addr:' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $1}'

An update on my previous response:

Openstack heat documentation https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Heat/... describe your case:

If the UserData script needs to know the private IP address of the instance, it cannot be resolved by Fn::GetAtt(instance, "PrivateIp") since it is not available when the UserData file is resolved by the Heat engine.

The solution provided is execute the command curl -s http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/local-ipv4 in the instance to extract the private ip

Thanks for your answer! But I imagine (maybe I'm wrong) there is a cleaner way to extract that kind of info directly from the heat template...
