Issue #12435 has been updated by Daniel Pittman.

Other questions from the code:

The tests you have are good, but they don't cover the behaviour of the external 
script:
* what happens when the external script fails?
* what happens when the external script is sleep 900?
* what happens when the external script prints to STDOUT, and to STDERR?

You also don't test all the current permutations of invocation - I don't see 
testing of failonfail true and false differences in behaviour there. (I think 
that feature should go, but if it stays, it should be tested.)

I don't see tests that the places invoking the alert do the right thing - the 
public API needs more testing.

Otherwise, with some polish and a bit more thought about how it interacts with 
the logging subsystem, seems like a reasonable thing to me. We should probably 
run this around UX a bit and see what they think.

Feature #12435: Adding alerting support to command line actions
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12435

Author: James Turnbull
Status: Needs Decision
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Randall Hansen
Category: Faces
Target version: Telly
Affected Puppet version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: https://github.com/jamtur01/puppet/tree/alerting


Many Puppet command line functions, for example installing, managing or
uninstalling a Puppet module are collaborative actions. You often want
to share news of these actions with others.

The alerting framework allows you to specify an option, for example
`--alert` to a Face (see the puppet module install and uninstall faces in the 
attached branch)
for this) that executes a script that can alert others to the action,
for example send an IRC or Campfire notification when a module is installed
or uninstalled.
