Issue #5400 has been updated by Michael Knox.
This seems to be very similar to feature request #2728. I've create a patch for #2728 which may also address this issue. <https://github.com/mikeknox/puppet/commit/33301966d4c803640cb9aaed13b81bd7fd285484> Sample output: <pre> info: Augeas[my.cnf/mysqld](provider=augeas): --- /etc/my.cnf 2011-03-18 18:09:46.343264543 +1100 +++ /etc/my.cnf.augnew 2011-03-18 21:29:39.706254147 +1100 @@ -133,7 +133,7 @@ character-set-server=utf8 log-warnings=1 skip-external-locking=1 -log-error=/var/log/mysql.log +log-error=/var/log/mysql.err set=log-slow-queries key_buffer=16M table_cache=64 notice: /Stage[main]/Mysql::Server/Augeas[my.cnf/mysqld]/returns: is need_to_run, should be 0 (noop) </pre> ---------------------------------------- Feature #5400: Augeas resources should print changes to the tree during a --noop -t run https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5400 Author: Nick Moffitt Status: Needs Decision Priority: Normal Assignee: Bryan Kearney Category: augeas Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: augeas dry-run noop Branch: I often use `puppetd --environment=test --noop -t` to sanity check a change, and the output is generally helpful. I appreciate that Exec resources are too open-ended and unpredictable, but it seems that Augeas resources present an opportunity for dry-run feedback. It should be possible to get the tree for a resource, apply the changes list, and then diff the new tree against the old one. Then you can bail out without saving, and report the results back to the summary. This won't tell you exactly what changes will happen on disk, to be sure, but you'll learn which entries are being replaced with what in the tree. That's incredibly valuable. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
