Issue #3118 has been updated by Markus Roberts.
Initial discussion indicates that some users consider this a bug (default should only apply to otherwise undefined nodes) while others consider it a feature (useful to augment behaviour of all nodes / specific nodes independently of the external node manager) and do not see it as surprising (default is defined with regard to the puppet code, and rightly takes no cognizance of what the node manager does). ---------------------------------------- Bug #3118: External node tool definitions appear to be cumulative http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/3118 Author: Markus Roberts Status: Needs design decision Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Target version: Affected version: 0.24.8 Keywords: Branch: This behavior is surprising, but not new. Given the external node tool: <pre> #!/usr/bin/env ruby print %q{ --- classes: - foo } exit 0 </pre> And site.pp: <pre> class foo { notice "foo" } class bar { notice "bar" } node default { include bar } </pre> The following results are seen: <pre> info: Caching node for host-246-104.pubnet.pdx.edu notice: Scope(Class[bar]): bar notice: Scope(Class[foo]): foo notice: Compiled catalog for host-246-104.pubnet.pdx.edu in 0.01 seconds </pre> The same results are seen with 0.24.8 and 0.25.4rc3. This appears to break the assumption that default is only applied for nodes that aren't otherwise defined. The same is seen with an explicit node instead of just default in site.pp -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
