Jira (PUP-9055) Compile catalogs on demand with user-specified facts

[Alan Smith (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Alan Smith commented on PUP-9055   Re: Compile catalogs on demand with user-specified facts Our upgrade from 4 to 6 is on hold because `puppet master --compile` is gone, as we rely on it heavily to compile catalogs offline. I see the updates about a http endpoint on puppetserver but creating temporary puppetservers is both impractical and slow (`puppet master --compile` does not have the startup overhead that puppetserver does) on a developer's workstation. Our usage now involves repeatedly calling `puppet master --compile` with different facts/ENC data and puppet code, offline. This is both cheap on resources and fast (no puppetserver setup/teardown costs). If it was rearchitected to work offline with puppetserver, it would be neither cheap nor fast. What are the alternatives to puppetserver and its use of JRuby? Can the code needed for `puppet master --compile` specifically be put back without the rest of the webrick/rack support code?
