Title: Message Title

Lindsey Smith created an issue   Puppet / PUP-4973 Different resource_type behavior between Puppet 3.x and 4.x Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 4.2.0 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2015/08/01 8:10 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Lindsey Smith I was exploring what information about classes is available in PE 2015.2 (Puppet 4.2) and I noticed what looks like a change in behavior from Puppet 3.x Looking at the current docs (http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/4.2/reference/http_api/http_resource_type.html), search for "bthing". In the example there, class bthing has doc text and the page implies that the resource_types endpoint returns doc and file. Trying this with puppetlabs/motd on both PE 3.3.1 (Puppet 3.6.2) and 3.8.1 (Puppet 3.8.1)installs, puppet resource_type find motd --terminus rest | python -mjson.tool outputs: { "doc": "Class: motd\n\nThis module manages the /etc/motd file using a template\n\nParameters:\n\nActions:\n\nRequires:\n\nSample Usage:\n include motd\n\n[Remember: No empty lines between comments and class definition]\n", "file": "/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/motd/manifests/init.pp", "kind": "class", "line": 15, "name": "motd", "parameters": { "content": "undef", "template": "undef" } } The same command in PE 2015.2 outputs: { "kind": "class", "line": 15, "name": "motd", "parameters": { "content": "undef", "template": "undef" } } On 2015.2 I got the same output from puppet resource_type as with GET /puppet/v3/resource_type/bthing?environment=production so I assume that these are functionally equivalent. Possibly they are not.
