Jira (PUP-6039) Parser 'future' for an environment cannot be globally overridden

[Thomas Hallgren (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Thomas Hallgren created an issue   Puppet / PUP-6039 Parser 'future' for an environment cannot be globally overridden Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 3.8.6 Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2016/03/10 4:30 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Thomas Hallgren The method Environment#future_parser? will always return false unless parser = future is set in the environment.conf file. This is regardless of the global Puppet[:parser] setting. The reason is that no test is made for the global setting when an environment configuration exists. And it always exists (regardless of if there's a file or not). The current code looks like this: def future_parser? if @future_parser.nil? environment_conf = Puppet.lookup(:environments).get_conf(name) @future_parser = 'future' == (environment_conf.nil? ? Puppet[:parser] : environment_conf.parser) end @future_parser end and here, environment_conf.nil? is never true. This will cause problems in setups where an attempt is made to solely rely on the global setting of Puppet[:parser]. It's also a problem in the catalog_preview command where the only way to override the parser setting will be to actually do an instance_variable_set(@future_parser, true). That's regardless of if this issue is fixed or not, since the catalog_preview command must function with older versions of Puppet.
