Issue #16189 has been updated by Henrik Lindberg.
After some investigation: There are two (or more :) problems in play here. **Problem 1**: Application defaults are setup before the FaceBase class interprets the command line option `--mode`. At the point it has figured out that it wants `:master` it is too late as the values that it will print has already interpolated the result based on some default. **Problem 2**: The default value is not computed the correct way. @run_mode is a class instance variable and the Config class that is created for the config face does not inherit this class variable from FaceBase. (Such inheritance must be done manually in ruby). As a result, the run_mode that gets picked is nil, which leads to a default of the :user run mode (set in the class level run mode method defined in application.rb like this: `@run_mode = Puppet::Util::RunMode[ mode_name || :user ]`). Thus, neither the default in Application, nor in FaceBase gets used. ---------------------------------------- Bug #16189: puppet config print and --configprint disagree https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/16189#change-70952 Author: Patrick Carlisle Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: 3.0.0 Affected Puppet version: 3.0.0-rc5 Keywords: Branch: thinky:puppet:% puppet master --configprint ssldir <3.x> /etc/puppet/ssl thinky:puppet:% puppet config print ssldir --mode master <3.x> /home/patrick/.puppet/ssl -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
