Issue #6102 has been updated by Nigel Kersten. Status changed from Needs Decision to Accepted Assignee deleted (Nigel Kersten) Target version set to Telly
If we're showing diffs, we should show the diff between nothing and the file. ---------------------------------------- Feature #6102: Please show contents of created files when using --verbose https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6102 Author: Nick Moffitt Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: file Target version: Telly Affected Puppet version: 2.6.3 Keywords: file diff verbose noop Branch: Let's say I run `puppet agent --environment=development -t --noop` on a client in order to get an idea of what changes *would* be made. If I am replacing a file that already exists, I get a diff. Unfortunately if I am creating a file that did not previously exist (a situation that is common in development of new modules, which I would be eager to test this way), I see only something like `…/ensure: is absent, should be file (noop)` and no more. Given that we know the source of the file, and have the ability to get its contents *somehow*, could we have some sort of really-no-I-want-verbosity-please option that permits us to see the contents of files that would be added? In the above scenario, the developer who gets an understated "I would make a file here" log line would have to go pawing through the module and manually reason out the contents of that file. This is error-prone and defeats the purpose of this sort of dry-run testing. It is difficult to get a review on a change when the results cannot be viewed in full. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
