Issue #3836 has been updated by Michael DeHaan.
I agree with Nigel, this is a bug. anything on stderr should perhaps be logged, and/or should fail the operation. ---------------------------------------- Feature #3836: External Nodes important clarification -- http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/external_nodes.html http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3836 Author: Jonathan Booth Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: Target version: Keywords: Branch: External Nodes doesn't make any mention that puppet does STRANGE THINGS with standard out/error in your external nodes script -- so you can't just write standard unix shell scripting and expect it to work. As a sample -- I had a ruby ssl warning error in my external nodes and spent a day trying to track it down. I'd used a wrapper script to dump standard error into the bit bucket... yet problems persisted. When I eliminated the ssl warning through other means, suddenly external nodes worked. A note about "puppet captures ALL OUTPUT so don't leave junk on standard error that would mess up your YAML" would be great. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
