[Henry Wang (Jira)]

Title: Message Title

Henry Wang created an issue   PuppetDB / PDB-5256 Puppet Query should have proper error message when it is failed Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Unassigned Created: 2021/09/06 11:27 PM Environment: PE 2021.2 Priority: Normal Reporter: Henry Wang When Puppet Query fails, for example, due to a syntax issue, it should give some error message like:  "server encountered an error processing search request (more information might be found in puppetdb server’s log files)" Currently, the error message is misleading: [root@pe-202100-master ~]# puppet query 'inventory[certname, facts.os.family, facts.puppetversion] { certname in nodes { latest_report_status = "failed" } }' --urls http://localhost:8080   2021/09/05 23:48:34 ERROR - &{ } (*models.ServerError) is not supported by the TextConsumer, can be resolved by supporting TextUnmarshaler interface   (and puppetdb log file says to report this as a bug, see attached file from excerpted from puppetdb.log) Actually, the above error is just because the query is missing a field: [root@pe-202100-master ~]# puppet query 'inventory[certname, facts.os.family, facts.puppetversion] { certname in nodes[certname] { latest_report_status = "failed" } }' --urls http://localhost:8080 [ { "certname": "pe-202100-master.puppetdebug.vlan", "facts.os.family": "RedHat", "facts.puppetversion": "7.8.0" } ] Proposing the output should be enhanced with a more proper error message.  Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.13.2#813002-sha1:c495a97) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
