I think you're into something here. I added this to my manifest:
package { "thisPackageDoesNotExist":
ensure => installed
}
The error was included in the report. So package install fail was reported, but
not manifest parsing.

Bug #4628: Puppet does not include errors in reports
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4628
Author: Kenneth Holter
Status: Needs design decision
Priority: Normal
Assignee:
Category:
Target version:
Affected version: 0.25.4
Keywords: puppet reports
Branch:
I've set up puppetmaster and a puppet client, both version 0.25.4. The client
is set up to report back to the master (i.e. "report = true" in puppet.conf on
the client). The master directs report to both "puppet_dashboard" and "store".
The issue seems to be that when I trigger an error on the client, this error is
not included in the report. I've attached two files to illustrate the problem:
The file "output-from-client.txt" shows the client side error message, while
the file "local-report.txt" shows the corresponding report. As one can see,
there is no error mentioned in the report. To me this seems like a bug. Can
this be confirmed?
I have not yet tested wether other error are reported back to the server.
Regards,
Kenneth
