Issue #6753 has been updated by Daniel Pittman. Assignee set to Nigel Kersten Target version deleted (2.6.x) Affected Puppet version set to 2.7.0rc1
Nigel, this needs your decision on action at all, and scheduling; I agree with the issue, and think the change is good, but Luke notes that we have historically received complaints when we did magic to generate things like the list of subcommands this way. ---------------------------------------- Refactor #6753: Redundant application files for interfaces is customer facing debt https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6753 Author: Markus Roberts Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: Faces Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.0rc1 Keywords: Branch: The plugin form of interfaces requires a small file for each indirection noun of the form: <pre> require 'puppet/application/indirection_base' class Puppet::Application::Catalog < Puppet::Application::IndirectionBase end </pre> These share a directory with 1) base class implementations, 2) the actual "interface" implementation. This has a number of unintended and confusing user-visible consequences (e.g. interface_base shows up in "puppet --help" as a command when it is not, etc.) and asking users to understand / maintain this structure imposes an unnecessary barrier to use / extension of the interface facility. Therefore, in the integrated version of interfaces: 1) interface_base & indirection_base should be moved to a more appropriate location 2) the "boilerplate" files should be auto-discovered / created by an appropriate hook in core 3) the interface command should be moved into the application directory with agent, etc. 4) this interface-specific application directory should be eliminated -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
