How come? You still pluginsync on noop runs (one reason why I really think we 
need to rename --noop to --simulate as it's not true that there are "no 
operations")

Isn't that what we have now? And essentially a bunch of our problems are around 
a provider being synced to the client, but Puppet failing to recognize this and 
instead saying "no default provider" ?

I'm pretty sure this is what we have now? I think I'm missing something Stefan, 
can you elaborate a bit more?

----------------------------------------
Feature #6907: Ensure providers can be used in the same puppet run that their 
prerequisites are delivered in

Target version: 2.7.x

Branch: 


This is possibly more accurately described as a collection of bug fixes, as 
we've aimed to fix this several times, however I'm characterizing this as a 
feature, and we're going to associate related bugs with it.

Essentially we want to be able to use a provider in the same run that it's 
prerequisites (like :commands and paths) are delivered in. 

You should not have to run puppet twice to use a provider.

We're aiming this at 2.6.x initially, but if it turns out that we need 
significant plumbing work to make this happen, we are re-targeting at Statler.
