Post Lifecycle Hook in a DeploymentConfig not working

Issue

• Based on this documentation https://docs.openshift.com/enterprise/3.0/dev_guide/deployments.html#lifecycle-hooks, I am trying to set up a post lifecycle hook in a DeploymentConfig. I do not fully understand the documentation how it should work, or maybe, there is also some bug with this. Please advice what to do.

I attached a template that creates the DeploymentConfig. You will see that the command to be executed is "/var/lib/mysql/db_init.sh".

The db_init.sh contains:

#!/bin/bash
echo "starting db_init script..."
mysql -u root auditing < /var/lib/mysql/db_init.sql
echo "finished db_init script"

The command "mysql -u root auditing < /var/lib/mysql/db_init.sql" works if executed within the pod.

The scripts are built into the image that is deployed.

When I deploy using this DeploymentConfig, the pod comes up and is running, however, this lifecycle hook (and scripts) is never executed. I see no error, nothing.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is this an issue?
