Description Eric Rich 2015-08-28 17:32:44 UTC

Description of problem:

Customers who want a unified experience with openshift and external databases (who might be using SCL version of databases) need the capability to override database function, in the rhcsh script (because they are not using SCL cartridges that can be auto discovered.)

This relates to https://github.com/openshift/origin-server/pull/6227

Comment 5 Timothy Williams 2016-09-29 15:17:37 UTC

Re-opening this bug since the fix finally merged. The fix originally was meant to be merged but appears to have hit an issue with our automation and took ~8 months to merge:

Verify this bug with puddle 2.2/2016-12-12.1 

1. Create an app
2. Log into the gear and modify ~/app-root/data/.bash_profile file with the following contents:

function mongo() {
  echo "mongo replaced!"
}

function mysql() {
  echo "mysql replaced!"
}

function psql() {
  echo "psql replaced!"
}

3. Log into it again and run `mysql`, `mongo`, and `psql`

[app3-yes.ose22-auto.com.cn 5850b7ad82611d5be4000001]\> mysql
mysql replaced!
[app3-yes.ose22-auto.com.cn 5850b7ad82611d5be4000001]\> mongo
mongo replaced!
[app3-yes.ose22-auto.com.cn 5850b7ad82611d5be4000001]\> psql
psql replaced!
