Issue #4005 has been updated by Rob Terhaar.
I hit this same bug tonight. I think this has been previously reported as Bug #3695 ---------------------------------------- Bug #4005: Confusing error from bad template syntax http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4005 Author: Alan Barrett Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assigned to: Markus Roberts Category: error reporting Target version: Affected version: 0.25.5 Keywords: Branch: If you have a template with invalid syntax, then the error is difficult to diagnose. I accidentally wrote <%= varname => instead of <%= varname %> in a template, and the client printed this: <pre> # /usr/local/sbin/puppetd --onetime --test --noop err: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: wrong header line format warning: Not using cache on failed catalog err: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run </pre> I could not find any relevant error messages in syslog or /var/puppet/log on the server. Adding --debug and --trace options on the client did not make it print the offending header line. I haven't checked this theory, but I suspect that error messages from the template expansion are finding their way to the client instead of being intercepted by the server. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
