dnsmasq cant load config folder in new openwrt release

[rezad1393]

I upgraded to 22.03 today and got this error:
daemon.crit dnsmasq[1]: cannot access directory /etc/dnsmasq.d: No such file or directory
I have checked and folder is there.

Please provide your /etc/config/dhcp and /etc/dnsmasq.conf

config dnsmasq
        option domainneeded '1'
        option localise_queries '1'

# For debugging purposes, log each DNS query as it passes through

#log-dhcp

# Include another lot of configuration options.
#conf-file=/etc/dnsmasq.more.conf

# Include all the files in a directory except those ending in .bak
#conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,.bak

# Include all files in a directory which end in .conf
#conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d/,*.conf

I had to "#conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d/,*.conf" comment it out for now for it to not crash.

option confdir '/tmp/dnsmasq.d,/etc/dnsmasq.d' ?

[rezad1393]

??

option confdir '/tmp/dnsmasq.d,/etc/dnsmasq.d' ?

??

oh
i saw it now. let me check that.

[rezad1393]

weird.
I just upgraded and it didnt work with new software so I I thought my config was fine.
I dont even remember why that line is there.
thank you.

[rezad1393]

too soon.
I forgot to uncommment the dnsmasq.conf line before restart.
the bug is still there.

[stintel]

Remove it from /etc/dnsmasq.conf and add it in /etc/config/dhcp as in my previous comment. If that doesn't work maybe we should change the UCI option to a list and loop over it, adding multiple --conf-dir arguments.

[rezad1393]

I replaced option confdir '/tmp/dnsmasq.d' with option confdir '/etc/dnsmasq.d' and it works now.
is this a bug that I just am ignoring?
why did I have to change this from one version of openwrt to another?

[stintel]

I'd rather call it a feature. Dnsmasq is running in ujail now. The init script will make sure the path in the UCI option is exposed in the jail, but we don't parse /etc/dnsmasq.conf to do that.

I was gonna suggest that it may have to do with jail but I didnt see anything in changelog of openwrt.
