I took a look, and it feels like a reasonable enough approach. I think if that is wired up so that it works correctly for configuration file options – ideally, nested, so you can create arbitrary sections, and options in those sections – then it would be acceptable. Given how core this is, we will need to have tests against it. ---------------------------------------- Bug #7270: unify global options with face and action options... https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7270 Author: Daniel Pittman Status: Accepted Priority: Low Assignee: Category: Faces Target version: 2.7.x Affected Puppet version: development Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/khightower/puppet/commits/feature/master/7270 At the moment we handle global options for faces in a ... different way. They are basically the old fashioned application options, kind of vaguely repurposed to do something approximating the right thing. We should unify the behaviour of those, ideally along with options derived from our configuration system, and make them all behave consistently. This would naturally want to involve unification of the DSL for declaring options, and in turn for introspection of them: that would make it practical to have them in the help output, and so forth. Which is desirable, especially round the area of option validation. It also means we can unify error handling, so that we don't have some classes of validation resulting in good help output, and others resulting in bad help output, just because they are handled by different substrates in the product. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
