Issue #13584 has been updated by Chris Price.
After further investigation, it appears that the main situation where this causes problems is with code *outside* of puppet. As far as I can tell, if we have a failure from within puppet code, it will most likely be logged to the log file as hoped / expected. (There may be some cases where this isn't true but I haven't found an easy repro case yet.) However, if third-party code (e.g. webrick) triggers the error, we don't have control over how it logs... thus, if it writes to stdout/stderr, we are susceptible to losing that info. Therefore, an approach that relies on a "bootstrap" log destination is not going to work... we'll have to address this by changing how we deal with stdout/stderr. ---------------------------------------- Bug #13584: in daemon mode, master swallows errors during startup https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13584#change-59236 Author: Chris Price Status: Accepted Priority: Urgent Assignee: Chris Price Category: logging Target version: Telly Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Because of the way that logging is handled / initialized during master startup, failures that occur before the logging is completely initialized seem to just disappear into the void. This makes it very tricky to diagnose problems that happen during startup, e.g. during acceptance testing on the CI nodes. Would be extremely useful to find a way to get the master to keep STDOUT/STDERR alive until logging has been successfully initialized, or register a "bootstrapping" log destination for use during startup so that these errors don't just disappear. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
