CKA mock exam error #2

Hello.
Hello, first off, I’d like to ask if forum threads are the appropriate place to report issues. If not, I apologize and kindly ask for information on where they should be reported.

I’ve found another error - in this task, we need to restore the etcd database from an existing backup file. The problem is that the file doesn’t exist on the node cluster1-controlplane - it’s nowhere to be found. I’ve checked using the command:find / -type f -name "cluster1_backup_to_restore.db" .

Please fix it

First, this is a great place to report it. So feel free.
Second, as I read the question, you are checking for the file in the place where the question says the backup should be, and clearly, it is not there. So that sounds like a bug to me.

Concur that looks like a bug.

Morning everyone!

earlier this week I’ve found this task and this “post”

after read comments of you all @plateau_advices.0y , @rob_kodekloud and @Alistair_KodeKloud I understood it is a bug, and skipped the task.

Little later doing exercises, again this task, and I just skipped again.

Today was no different, aaand, before ignore 8 precious points, I’ve though… "what if I create a backup and restore it ? Maybe I could pouch 8 more points which could help me in the final score plus "un-runsty " (sorry my english) my skills installing etcdctl (which is actually quick and simple).

So… I’ve done all that, and the validation of the question gave me 8 more points after all.

Now I’m wondering, wouldn’t be that missing file in purpose? :slight_smile:

Thank you!
Regards!

PS. mmmm maybe not in purpose, if so it would be the solution described which i didn’t read to confirm.

@raul.souza thx for info. THis bugs are random. Now I trying ignore it and keep practicing. CKA exam day is soon :scream:

@plateau_advices.0y , you welcome ! :+1:

We are in the same page, exam in the corner (middle March) and I am in a hurry to get ready.
