Title: Message Title

Nick Walker created an issue   Puppet / PUP-8689 Puppet config set --section main does not add a main section if there isn't one Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2018/05/02 3:44 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Nick Walker Puppet Version: [root@j8r33lbvw1aupa4 ~]# rpm -qa | grep puppet puppet-agent-5.3.6-1.el7.x86_64 OS Name/Version: EL 7 Describe your issue in as much detail as possible… My puppet.conf looks like this [root@j8r33lbvw1aupa4 ~]# cat /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf server = bfmhl0fhdzsvfb9.delivery.puppetlabs.net certname = j8r33lbvw1aupa4.delivery.puppetlabs.net when I run puppet config set and --section=main I expect that a main section will be created for me. [root@j8r33lbvw1aupa4 ~]# puppet config set test foo --section=main [root@j8r33lbvw1aupa4 ~]# cat /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/puppet.conf . server = bfmhl0fhdzsvfb9.delivery.puppetlabs.net certname = j8r33lbvw1aupa4.delivery.puppetlabs.net test = foo Reading through PUP-4755, I thought that a [main] section would be created for me but that does not appear to be the case.
