Issue #17156 has been updated by Andrew Parker.
Strangely enough, `puppet doc` should already be running in the master mode: <https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/application/doc.rb#L4>. However, on the line right above that it specifies that it shouldn't parse configs. Down near the bottom of the file it tries to do some fancy footwork to parse things in its own special way. I have no idea what this all achieves in the end. What you are saying makes perfect sense, but I don't fully understand what it is doing right now so I'm not clear how far off it currently is. It does look like it never looks at the libdir, but instead only really cares about the modulepath. ---------------------------------------- Bug #17156: Regression: Can't restrict the plugins loaded by puppet doc with --modulepath in 3.0.1 https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17156#change-75000 Author: Nick Fagerlund Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: settings Target version: 3.x Affected Puppet version: 3.0.1 Keywords: regression settings Branch: The docs team uses `puppet doc --reference` to generate certain docs for the site, and we have to use `--modulepath /tmp/nothing` or something to exclude non-core resource types and functions from our personal modules. This worked through 3.0.0 and broke in 3.0.1. The changed behavior: * In 3.0.0, puppet doc would ONLY load plugins from the modulepath; the contents of the agent's libdir had no effect, and changing the modulepath swapped out the entire set of plugins available. * In 3.0.1, puppet doc loads plugins from both the modulepath AND the libdir. So if puppet agent has ever run, puppet doc will keep loading plugins until you delete the libdir. Git bisect tracks the change to commit:144bb76a7e825a221fd1cb5a20728c8cf5c03264 -- "(#16637) Fix default confdir and vardir with puppet master as normal user." The command to test this with is `puppet doc --reference function --modulepath /tmp/nothing` -- make sure you have something like puppetlabs-stdlib in your modulepath when testing, so that the function reference gets nice and messy. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
