Issue #10465 has been updated by eric sorenson. Status changed from Needs Decision to Closed
Oliver I understand your use case but I think that, as an administrator relying on puppet success/failure for sensitive orchestration, I would want to make sure that bugs of this category are actually fixed in the underlying code, rather than rely on some capability in Puppet to detect and work around transient or spurious errors. ---------------------------------------- Feature #10465: Provide a new "obsessive" mode which queries resources again after sync https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/10465#change-67124 Author: Oliver Hookins Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assignee: eric sorenson Category: provider Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: Quite frequently there will be cases where the providers think they have done the right thing and report success even though the end result is not successful. This results in continual runs where there are successful changes but the overall outcome is the same - the system state is not what you want it to be. I would like for there to be a mode you can optionally enable that triggers a second query from the provider after the sync has occurred to see if the desired changes were actually done. If not, trigger a real error (which in fact is just reflecting more accurately the state of the machine than if we were to not perform this checking). In the case where Puppet is being used for larger orchestrated upgrades this is an essential component to figuring out if the desired changes were completed successfully and thus attention can be turned to the next machine(s) in the workflow. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
