Issue #20779 has been updated by Charlie Sharpsteen. Status changed from Unreviewed to Rejected Assignee set to Charlie Sharpsteen
The `settings` class contains information derived from settings and command line arguments that were passed to the process hosting the compiler. The documentation describes [the situation in detail](http://docs.puppetlabs.com/puppet/2.7/reference/lang_variables.html#master-set-variables), but the important summary is: > Note that, other than $environment, the agent node’s settings are not > available in manifests. With `puppet apply`, you get the value of `--tags` because both compilation and catalog application are happening inside the same process and there is no split between "master settings" and "agent settings". ---------------------------------------- Bug #20779: --tags available with puppet apply but not with puppet agent https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/20779#change-91183 * Author: Benjamin Pillet * Status: Rejected * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Charlie Sharpsteen * Category: * Target version: * Affected Puppet version: 2.7.17 * Keywords: * Branch: ---------------------------------------- I have code in a catalog that logs the tags and the logdir settings: err("tags: ${settings::tags} logdir ${settings::logdir}") When I run the catalog with "puppet apply --tags=foo", it logs "tags: foo logdir: /var/log/puppet" But, when I run the catalog remotely with "puppet agent --tags=foo -tv", it logs "tags: logdir: /var/log/puppet" Shouldn't the settings::tags be available too? -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
