Issue #5886 has been updated by Daniel Pittman. Description updated Status changed from Unreviewed to Closed
We use the ability to change run_mode at runtime. It has nasty edge cases, and isn't strictly "defined" behaviour, but it works. ---------------------------------------- Refactor #5886: Run mode appears to be settable after initialization but there is no effect https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/5886 Author: Paul Berry Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: plumbing Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Note: this ticket is likely to be superseded by #5823, but I want to file it separately in case we change our minds in the future about how to address #5823. The method Puppet::Application.run_mode() appears to let the application set the run mode at any time. However, since the run mode is copied to $puppet_application_mode during initialization time, if you call Puppet::Application.run_mode() after initialization there is no effect. This is terribly misleading. Since allowing the run mode to be changed after the application has started is dangerous (see #5823 for details), we should simply raise an exception if code ever tries to change run mode after initialization. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
