Issue #10651 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.
+Nick, Randall I'd be interested in both your views on this request. Nick, could you document and explain this easily? Randall, is this a good idea from a UX perspective? I'm not particularly in favor of this. It's not that I'm unsympathetic to the need, but I feel like we have enough magical implicit behavior in our config files, and that we generally need to wind back to much more explicit behavior. ---------------------------------------- Feature #10651: Allow the default modulepath in puppet.config to be augmented https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10651 Author: Ian Brandt Status: Needs Decision Priority: Normal Assignee: Nigel Kersten Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: 2.7.6 Keywords: Branch: With my puppet.config as follows: [main] modulepath = $modulepath:/my/module/path I find `:/my/module/path` is simply dropped: $ puppet apply -e 'notice("$settings::modulepath")' notice: Scope(Class[main]): /Users/ibrandt/.puppet/modules:/usr/share/puppet/modules notice: Finished catalog run in 0.02 seconds I've tried several variations: [main] modulepath = ${modulepath}:/my/module/path ... $ puppet apply -e 'notice("$settings::modulepath")' err: Could not parse /Users/ibrandt/.puppet/puppet.conf: Could not parse '${modulepath}:/my/module/path' notice: Scope(Class[main]): /Users/ibrandt/.puppet/modules:/usr/share/puppet/modules notice: Finished catalog run in 0.02 seconds And: [main] modulepath = ${settings::modulepath}:/my/module/path ... $ puppet apply -e 'notice("$settings::modulepath")' err: Could not parse /Users/ibrandt/.puppet/puppet.conf: Could not parse '${settings::modulepath}:/my/module/path' notice: Scope(Class[main]): /Users/ibrandt/.puppet/modules:/usr/share/puppet/modules notice: Finished catalog run in 0.02 seconds And: [main] modulepath = $settings::modulepath:/my/module/path ... $ puppet apply -e 'notice("$settings::modulepath")' Could not prepare for execution: Could not find value for $settings And: [main] modulepath = /my/module/path:${modulepath} ... $ puppet apply -e 'notice("$settings::modulepath")' err: Could not parse /Users/ibrandt/.puppet/puppet.conf: Could not parse '/my/module/path:${modulepath}' notice: Scope(Class[main]): /Users/ibrandt/.puppet/modules:/usr/share/puppet/modules notice: Finished catalog run in 0.02 seconds And: [main] modulepath = /my/module/path:$modulepath ... $ puppet apply -e 'notice("$settings::modulepath")' /Users/ibrandt/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p352/lib/ruby/1.8/sync.rb:214:in `sync_unlock': stack level too deep (SystemStackError) from /Users/ibrandt/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p352/lib/ruby/1.8/sync.rb:232:in `synchronize' from /Users/ibrandt/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p352@etp/gems/puppet-2.7.6/lib/puppet/util/settings.rb:661:in `uninterpolated_value' from /Users/ibrandt/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p352@etp/gems/puppet-2.7.6/lib/puppet/util/settings.rb:811:in `each_source' from /Users/ibrandt/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p352@etp/gems/puppet-2.7.6/lib/puppet/util/settings.rb:808:in `each' from /Users/ibrandt/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p352@etp/gems/puppet-2.7.6/lib/puppet/util/settings.rb:808:in `each_source' from /Users/ibrandt/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p352@etp/gems/puppet-2.7.6/lib/puppet/util/settings.rb:658:in `uninterpolated_value' from /Users/ibrandt/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p352@etp/gems/puppet-2.7.6/lib/puppet/util/settings.rb:657:in `catch' from /Users/ibrandt/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p352@etp/gems/puppet-2.7.6/lib/puppet/util/settings.rb:657:in `uninterpolated_value' ... 2790 levels... from /Users/ibrandt/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p352@etp/gems/puppet-2.7.6/lib/puppet/util/command_line.rb:69:in `execute' from /Users/ibrandt/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p352@etp/gems/puppet-2.7.6/bin/puppet:4 from /Users/ibrandt/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p352@etp/bin/puppet:19:in `load' from /Users/ibrandt/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p352@etp/bin/puppet:19 And: [main] defaultmodulepath = $modulepath modulepath = $defaultmodulepath:/my/module/path ... $ puppet apply -e 'notice("$settings::modulepath")' Could not prepare for execution: Could not find value for $defaultmodulepath -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
