Issue #1389 has been updated by James Turnbull.

So...  We think we know what's going on here:

If you use LDAP/external nodes and AST (node {}) nodes then there must be an 
entry for all nodes OR a default node.  The simple work-around is to specify an 
empty default node in all node sources, for example in AST:

<pre>
node default {}
</pre>

And then a default node in LDAP or your external node source.
----------------------------------------
Bug #1389: puppetmaster completely ignores any found external nodes if any 
nodes are found in manifests first.

Author: Mathieu Sauve-Frankel
Status: Rejected
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: 
Category: node
Target version: 0.24.5
Patch: None
Affected version: 0.25.4
Keywords: external LDAP node nodes
Branch: 


I discovered this while trying to set up ldap nodes and external node support. 
I had enabled ldap node support, but had failed to remove all of the node 
declarations from my on-disk manifests. 

When I tried to run a node against the pupeptmaster I was receiving messages 
such as: 
<pre>
"Could not find default node or by name with '%s'"
</pre>

This message is found in Puppet::Parser::Compiler::evaluate_ast_node. 

After adding some Puppet.debug statements in indirector/node/ldap.rb and 
indirector/node/exec.rb (I tested both),
I verified that indirector was indeed finding my external nodes, but the 
compiler was ignoring them for some reason. 

Adding Puppet.debugs in evaluate_ast_node allowed me to see the contents of 
@parser.nodes, this is when 
I realized that there was still 1 node being loaded from a local manifest.

After removing this errant node statement both ldap nodes and external nodes 
started behaving as expected.

I think that either more information should be added to the error message, or 
that the parser should be fixed to 
either completely ignore node statements from manifests when node_terminus is 
set to something other than default, 
or that it should be fixed to respect pre 0.23 behaviour that allows nodes to 
be set both locally and externally at the same time.
