Issue #12335 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.
I had a chat to Pieter about this. I'm not opposed to "puppet subcommand --version" being deprecated and pushing people toward "puppet --version". Other subcommand tools have done this, there's a reasonably well trodden path. I have reservations about using "--version" to mean anything other than "output the version" with subcommands, but recognize that for the use case of specifying module versions/ranges it may be the most rational choice. I expressed reservations, but UX owns the decision. ---------------------------------------- Bug #12335: Face based commands don't support `--version` https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12335#change-54727 Author: Daniel Pittman Status: Rejected Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: usability Target version: 2.7.11 Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Apparently, when building the wrappers that make Faces available as subcommands, we neglected to implement the `--version` option, so: <pre> ⚡ puppet --version 2.7.10 ⚡ puppet agent --version 2.7.10 ⚡ puppet node --version err: 'node' has no default action. See `puppet help node`. </pre> We should remedy that, since it is a quite strange UI divergence. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
