---------------------------------------- Bug #6752: Allow action-specific render methods https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6752#change-92312 * Author: Paul Berry * Status: Closed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: Faces * Target version: 2.7.0 * Affected Puppet version: development * Keywords: * Branch: https://github.com/daniel-pittman/puppet/commits/bug%2F2.7.x%2F6752-allow-action-specific-render-methods ---------------------------------------- The current implementation of interfaces allows a render method to be specified at the interface level but not at the action level. (The render method is in fact specified in the application file, not the interface file). This is unfortunate because not all actions in the same interface generate the same kind of output, so it does not necessarily make sense to have their output rendered in the same way. For example, "puppet catalog find" generates a catalog, which should probably be rendered as YAML or JSON, whereas "puppet catalog select" generates a list of resources. It would be nice if interface-specific render methods could be specified in the declaration of the interface, and action-specific render methods could be specified in the declaration of the action. The current implementation works around this situation by having "puppet catalog select" direct its output straight to stdout (instead of returning it)--this means that "puppet catalog select" cannot be effectively used from within Ruby. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
