Joel Allen commented on PUP-7787   Re: Module tool on ruby 2.1.9 gives cryptic error when downloading a PE only module with no license file I say no fix.  I don't know why this was marked Major to begin with.  I note is was found internally and not by a customer.  I'm not sure a customer has ever seen this issue, but we could ask CS if it's happened. The only time someone encounters this is: 1) They are running an "evaluation" (free 10 licenses) on an old (2016) version of Puppet, AND 2) They then access one of 6 modules that are listed as PE-only ( out of 5133 on the forge). In that case, the lack of real license file results in an obscure error that looks like a connection problem. This issue is fixed on all 2017 versions, which is where we'd like folks to be doing their evaluations to begin with.  LTS is for established customers, who presumably have license files. If we do decide to fix, I'm going to need guidance on how not to break 2016.x, since I've never worked on that repository.     Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.7.1#77002-sha1:e75ca93) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
