systemd version the issue has been seen with

255.6-1-arch

Used distribution

Arch Linux

Linux kernel version used

6.8.9-arch1-2

CPU architectures issue was seen on

None

Component

systemd-analyze

Expected behaviour you didn't see

It seems that the command should be able to work with transient units. In the documentation (systemd-analyze(1):/verify), it is not mentioned which unit types the command supports and which it doesn't.

Rather, it says:

The full unit search path is formed by combining the directories for all command line arguments, and the usual unit load paths.

Unexpected behaviour you saw

The command claims it cannot find a unit, even though it does exist and is a transient unit.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Create transient units:

systemd-run --user -u dreamer.service sleep 1h
systemd-run --system -u dreamer.service sleep 1h

Try to run systemd-analyze verify on them:

systemd-analyze --user verify dreamer.service
Unit dreamer.service not found.
systemd-analyze --system verify dreamer.service
Unit dreamer.service not found.

Additional program output to the terminal or log subsystem illustrating the issue

Fix is waiting in #32850.

Workaround for the issue is specifying unit path explicitly e.g. /run/systemd/transient/xyz.service.
