[Alex Dreyer (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Alex Dreyer created an issue   Puppet Task Runner / BOLT-878 cryptic apply_prep error when non running as root. Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2018/09/28 8:28 AM Priority: Normal Reporter: Alex Dreyer The error message when the puppet_agent::install task fails because the user is not running as root is bad. We should probably ensure install_agent is run as root over ssh for apply_prep and error or warn otherwise. The _output embedded in a json object is not great either but I'm not sure how to fix that. { "kind": "bolt/run-failure", "msg": "Plan aborted: run_task 'puppet_agent::install' failed on 1 nodes", "details": { "action": "run_task", "object": "puppet_agent::install", "result_set": [ { "node": "ssh://localhost", "status": "failure", "result": { "_output": "23:30:28 +0000 INFO: Version parameter not defined, assuming latest\n23:30:28 +0000 INFO: Downloading Puppet latest for ubuntu...\n23:30:28 +0000 INFO: Ubuntu platform!
