Issue #8917 has been updated by Daniel Pittman. Status changed from In Topic Branch Pending Review to Code Insufficient
I think this needs more work to eliminate the lingering remains of the `--client` option from `lib/puppet/application/agent.rb`, and delegate only to the settings. I think the option declaration in the agent should go, and we should also be able to eliminate the local `options[:agent]` code entirely in favour of the global setting. ...or I need to have explained how I am wrong about that. :) I didn't actually check if the feature is covered by existing tests, either, so we might need to attend to that... ---------------------------------------- Bug #8917: `client` is not a configuration option, and --client/--no-client is handled by the agent application https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8917 Author: Nick Fagerlund Status: Code Insufficient Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: agent Target version: Telly Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/379 Okay, puppet agent has a `--no-client` option that makes it sit around and wait for commands over REST instead of proactively fetching a configuration. But unlike all the other `--something/--no-something` pairs, it's not a config option from defaults.rb -- it only exists in the agent application. That means there's no way to persistently set this behavior in puppet.conf, as the commenters to #4411 found out. Should there be? If you're using this feature at all, you're using it all the time, which makes it seem like a prime candidate for the config file. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
