---------------------------------------- Bug #13586: puppet should error and fail to start if file path cli args such as "config" or "logdest" are invalid https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13586#change-65084 Author: Chris Price Status: Needs Decision Priority: High Assignee: Category: settings Target version: 3.x Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Running puppet master with "--config" or "--logdest" set to an invalid value seems like it should cause a failure and prevent puppet from starting. However, the current behavior seems to be that it will just log a brief error message (e.g., "err: File exists - /dev/null") and then continue on its merry way. This seems dangerous because it seems like it could result in unpredictable behavior, and moreso because it doesn't seem like we behave the same way if a *directory* argument is specified incorrectly (i.e., an invalid value for "--confdir" *will* prevent puppet from starting). -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
