[SOLVED] consul template {{node}} default value no use?

consul template {{node}} default value no use?

My consul-template version:

# ./consul-template -v

consul-template v0.18.0-rc2 (652183d)

I try to use the template below to test node:

{{with node}}{{.Node.Node}} ({{.Node.Address}}){{range .Services}}
  {{.Service}} {{.Port}} ({{.Tags | join ","}}){{end}}
{{end}}

I run the shell:

./consul-template -log-level debug -once -consul-addr consul-agent:9500 -template "/home/data/consul/templates/test1.tmpl:/home/data/consul/results/test1"

But after that, test1 has no result. The output debug info looks like below and the shell waiting forever:

But if I change the template like this:

{{with node "8c163f72e7ac"}}{{.Node.Node}} ({{.Node.Address}}){{range .Services}}
  {{.Service}} {{.Port}} ({{.Tags | join ","}}){{end}}
{{end}}

It works fine! Why I must give the node name? In consul-template doc https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-template#node, it said

When called without any arguments then the node for the current agent is returned.

Any help?
