nftable with sets in diffrent files

[Siebzehn <siebzehntausend@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I got a problem with nftable (Version 9.6)
My ruleset is split in different files which get included in a single file.
Because of that I need to always specify the table name.
However I noticed that nftable can't find sets of other files.
It seems that nft can't find sets which were created in other table
specifications.

Errormessage:
nft -f TestB.nft
TestB.nft:14:13-16: Error: No such file or directory; did you mean set
'ips' in table ip 'inetfilter'?
                        ip daddr @ips accept
                                 ^^^^
(the ^ are below @ips)

I'm sure that I wrote the tablename correctly.

Copy this into a single file to try it out yourself:


#!/usr/sbin/nft
table ip inetfilter {
  set ips {
    type ipv4_addr
  }

} #Works if you comment this line
table ip inetfilter { #Works if you comment this line

  chain forward {
    type filter hook forward priority 0; policy accept;
    ip daddr @ips accept
  }
  # Doesn't Matter
  chain input {
    type filter hook input priority 0; policy accept;
  }
  chain output {
    type filter hook output priority 0; policy accept;
  }
}


Copy till here.

The Config was loaded with "nft -f TestB.nft"

I hope you can tell me if i'm doing something wrong or that this is a
(fixable) bug

With Best Regards,
