Issue #6209 has been updated by Andrew Parker.
As the 2.7.x line is winding down, I am removing the target at 2.7.x from tickets in the system. The 2.7 line should only receive fixes for major problems (crashes, for instance) or security problems. ---------------------------------------- Bug #6209: Puppet should not change error messages on second run https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6209#change-80512 Author: Nico Schottelius Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected Puppet version: Keywords: usability Branch: Hello! This is a long outstanding bug I've always forgot to report: Puppet changes the error message from Syntax error at 'libxerces-c-dev'; expected ']' at to Could not find class ethz_systems::packages in namespaces ethz_systems at I was told that this happens, because puppetmaster unloads the class as soon as it sees a syntax error. This may be a valid behaviour internally, but it completly destroys the abilitiy to debug the origin of the error. Thus everytime I see the Could not find class error, I'm forced to restart puppet and watch the logfile to find the origin. This is cumbersome, misleading and time-consuming. Thus I propose to always report the first error, because the second one just confuses users.
