Issue #2748 has been updated by Markus Roberts.

Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs more information

Is the real (or at least more fundamental) issue here that config file options 
are now taking precedent over external_node parameters, when in 0.24.x it was 
the other way around?  Or am I misunderstanding the situation?

If this is the case, the next question would be: was that by design or an 
artifact of some other change?

Bug #2748: No more automatic environments with 0.25.x
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2748

Author: Bart Verwilst
Status: Needs more information

Affected version: 0.25.1rc2
Keywords: 
Branch: 


When using 0.24.8, we have a puppet.conf file for our clients that contained 
this amongst others ):

[main]

    environment = production
    environments = production, staging

This caused the default environment to be production, but we could force the 
staging environment by making the external_nodes output look like this:

parameters:
    environment: staging

It would then execute everything from the staging tree, as expected.

Since we switched to 0.25, we noticed that this method no longer works. We 
always sync to production, no matter what is given in the external_nodes output.
Apache logs say "GET /production/catalog/mail01.netnoc?facts=--...", making it 
always fetch from production.

When changing puppet.conf on the client to read environment = staging, then it 
fetches "GET /staging/catalog/mail01.netnoc?facts=--...", bringing in the right 
tree.

I guess i could make this work by changing the puppet.conf file to a template 
and have environment = <%= environment %> inthere, and making puppet restart 
itself when this file is changed ( we run puppet from a cron, not as a deamon 
), but still it's a nice piece of functionality that's disappeared now :(
